God answers our prayers at the right time

We know that God answers our prayers, we just don’t know when. Because we don’t know the timing of His response, we often become anxious and even impatient with God. But understand this: the Lord answers our prayers at the right time!

I will stand at my watch
and station myself on the ramparts;
I will look to see what he will say to me,
and what answer I am to give to this complaint.
- Habakkuk 2:1

The prophet Habakkuk prayed to God, seeking His guidance. God’s people were losing their identity, turning away from the Lord’s commandments, and this deeply troubled the prophet. He did not receive an immediate answer to his prayer, yet he did not complain, instead, he waited attentively for God’s voice.

Sometimes, God may answer us immediately; other times, the waiting itself is part of His answer. Therefore, talk to God and wait patiently for His response. Stay alert to His signs and remain faithful, surely, God will answer you at the right time!

God Answers Our Prayers

  • Don’t set conditions for God. Speak with Him and wait for His answer with patience and attention.
  • Believe that God will answer your prayer. He never leaves us without a response. If you haven’t received one yet, wait and keep praying.
  • If something continues to trouble you, pray again. Persevering in prayer is an act of faith.

To Pray:

Lord, I come to speak with You once again. I trust in You, and that’s why I cry out once more for there is no one who can hear me and change my situation but You. Speak to me, answer my prayer. In Your mighty name, amen.

Revive your hope!

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
- Romans 15:13

How is your hope? What we see and hear often shapes what we feel and believe. We’ve been living through difficult and turbulent times. So much sad news and so many bad reports about physical, economic, and political troubles can leave you anxious, withdrawn, and with little or no hope for the future.

But the Bible tells us that God is the God of hope!

In this verse, Paul expresses his desire and prayer for all the Gentiles, of whom we are also part. God can fill you with joy and peace through the faith and trust you place in Him. Faith comes by hearing the Word of God. Therefore, seek to be filled with the “good news” that the Bible brings. Your hope will be renewed if you make God the center of your attention and motivation. Then, by the power of the Spirit, you will overflow with the living hope that comes from God.

Revive Your Hope in God:

  • Change your focus from screens and headlines to the Bible and communion with God.
  • Pray and ask the Lord to renew your hope and trust in Him.
  • Fill your mind and heart with the Word of God; read, listen, and meditate on it.
  • Stay aware of the world around you, but bring everything to God in prayer.
  • Call on Christ! He is present even in suffering and can drive away fear and pain.
  • Believe, there is still hope! Jesus Christ is the only Lord.
  • Share Jesus with others. He is the living Hope and can do all things.

Prayer:

Lord, God of Hope, revive my hope in You! These days are difficult, Father, and there are moments when I see no way out... But I believe that You are the same yesterday, today, and forever! Help me to remain steadfast in You, trusting in Your Word, which is eternal truth. Increase my faith, perseverance, and love for You. And even when everything seems to go wrong, may I overflow with joy, peace, and hope in You. I believe, and I thank You for the power of Your Holy Spirit. In Jesus’ name, Amen!

Day Before Yesterday's Devotional

Jesus is my best friend

Jesus is my best friend. He stands by our side as a faithful friend, bringing comfort and hope. But how can we have Jesus as our best friend in our daily lives?

First, we need to cultivate a personal relationship with Him. Like any friendship, this requires time and dedication. We can start each day with prayer, thanking Him for His blessings and asking for His guidance.

Daily reading of the Bible is essential to know His will and teachings. In passages such as John 15:15, Jesus calls us friends, showing that He desires a close relationship with us:

I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.
- John 15:15

In addition, it is important to talk with Jesus throughout the day, sharing our thoughts, joys, and worries. He deeply cares about every detail of our lives. When facing difficulties, we can trust that He will listen to us and give us the strength we need to overcome obstacles. Jesus understands us like no one else, for He experienced human suffering and temptation, yet without sin.

Showing love to others is another way to strengthen our friendship with Jesus. He taught us to love one another as He has loved us. By practicing empathy, forgiveness, and compassion, we reflect the character of Jesus in our actions, drawing even closer to Him.

Finally, trusting in Jesus in all circumstances is essential. He promised to be with us until the end of the age. Knowing that we have such a powerful and loving friend gives us peace and security.

Jesus is truly the best friend we could ever have!

Jesus, My Best Friend!

  • Begin your day with a sincere prayer. This moment of communion strengthens your friendship with Him and brings peace to your heart.
  • Set aside daily time to read the Bible. Choose a reading plan and meditate on it every day.
  • Show the love of Jesus through concrete actions. Help those in need, and practice empathy and forgiveness.

Prayer:

Dear Jesus, thank You for being my best friend. Guide my steps today, giving me wisdom and strength to face challenges. Help me love others as You have loved us. Forgive my mistakes and renew my heart with Your peace. May I feel Your presence in every moment. Amen.
