Prayer Is The Bridge.

“When Job prayed for his friends, the Lord restored his fortunes. In fact, the Lord gave him twice as much as before!” Job‬ ‭42:10‬ ‭

When we pray for our friends for the battles they don't discuss, we are blessed through them. Have you ever prayed for someone just because they came to your mind? If not you should. When God lays someone on your heart and mind often it is a reminder to pray for them. Let's think of the story of Job, he lost everything he had, yet he still never cursed God. At the end of the story of Job, he then prayed for his friends and God blessed him with double what he had before. See God watches our faithfulness and how we treat those close to us. We should pray for our friends because we want them to do the same for us. Praying for those around you is one of the purest forms of love that you can give to them. You can pray for them without them even knowing and it still is a kind thing. The way we face battles no one knows about everyone else does too. Today, pray for those close to you just like Job did, just because you are facing battles doesn't mean that you forget those around you that are too. Perhaps that miracle or blessing is across the bridge of prayer, prayer is the between where you are and where you want to be, start to pray for those around you. In the story of Job, his prayers were answered after he prayed for his friends. Start praying for those around you and their circumstances then see what God does for not only them but you too! Here are some verses to reflect on today. “But you, dear friends, must build each other up in your most holy faith, pray in the power of the Holy Spirit,” Jude‬ ‭1:20‬ ‭ “I tell you, you can pray for anything, and if you believe that you’ve received it, it will be yours.” Mark‬ ‭11:24‬ ‭ “There are “friends” who destroy each other, but a real friend sticks closer than a brother.” Proverbs‬ ‭18:24‬ ‭ “A friend is always loyal, and a brother is born to help in time of need.” Proverbs‬ ‭17:17‬ ‭

Happiness That Will Never Fulfill.

“Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37:4‬ ‭ Happiness is something we are all searching for in life, it's something that we each want to feel. I have come to realize if I want to feel happiness it begins with finding God. I will never be happy in this world when I don't have God in my life. Although people think they might be happy on earth now, there will come a time for eternity and if their lives are full of sin then happiness will never last. Believing that this world can satisfy your soul is only lying to yourselves. You have to find a true meaningful relationship with God and work on it everyday, you aren't called to be perfect but you have to make an effort. God knows your heart, and if you're trying He sees that. Today, spend time truly seeking God for the happiness you're searching for. This earth cannot fill your soul. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken sp...

Wait Patiently!

“Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.” Psalms‬ ‭27:14‬ ‭ If God is making you wait, then wait patiently. Nothing in the waiting is a waste. I remember a time in my life where I was praying for something, I waited years and seem to receive no answer. I waited and waited. Somedays I was impatient and cried all day, other days I waited with patience of steel and praised God for what I knew I would someday receive. Sometimes the waiting is easy, other times it is an uphill battle. Whenever we are waiting we will go through different seasons, but we can count on the fact that God is at work for us. The waiting is important and a lesson is somewhere in the midst. Today, whatever it is God is having you wait for know that the season of waiting is often a time you look back on as a blessing. Even if it doesn't feel like a blessing now someday you will see how close the waiting brought you to God. When we are waiting we often spend more tim...

Don't Forget God!

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.” Philippians‬ ‭4:6‬ ‭ Don't forget God when you receive what you are praying for. God knows the things that we want the most, and often times He does give us what we want. When God does give us the things we want we have to stop and give thanks. It's like this, if you give someone a gift that you know they have really been wanting, something they will absolutely love, and they don't even say thank you it would hurt your feelings. It would make you feel like they don't appreciate you. If someone asked how they got the gift and they said they got it for themselves it would make you hurt also. When God gives us what we are praying for we need to shout from the rooftops that God done it for us, that He made a way. We need to thank God, telling everyone about it. We should be excited to tell others about God and all the wonderful things He does for us. Toda...
