Pray and wait

Pray Continually
- 1 Thessalonians 5:17

Pray in the morning, at noon, and at night.
Pray when you wake up and when you go to sleep. Pray before eating and before making a decision. Pray for your family, your friends, your country. Pray for this world that so desperately needs our Lord.
In every situation, pray. Bring your requests before the Lord and wait. He will work!

The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
and His ears are attentive to their cry for help;
- Psalm 34:15

When the enemy plants doubt in your heart, draw near to your loving Father in prayer. The Lord will restore you and renew your faith. He never leaves or abandons you. You can go to Him at any moment and ask for His help.

When you feel sad or discouraged, remember all that God has already done for you. Recall all the answered prayers, all the ways He has cared for you through the years. God is faithful, and once again you will see His work in your life and circumstances. Pray and wait, for the Lord is near.

The Lord is near to all who call on Him,
to all who call on Him in truth.
He fulfills the desires of those who fear Him;
He hears their cry and saves them.
- Psalm 145:18–19

Draw near to God with confidence, present your requests, and wait because He will act.

A touch of the Holy Spirit

For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.
- 2 Timothy 1:7

In this world, there are many things that can discourage us, worries, unexpected situations, people… the list is long. However, those who believe in the Lord need only one thing to be encouraged: the touch of God’s Holy Spirit!

When we receive the Lord Jesus, the Holy Spirit comes to dwell within us. His presence transforms us, and as we remain faithful to God, seeking more of Him, we learn to be guided by His Spirit and to live according to His will.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
- Galatians 5:22–23

The Holy Spirit enables us to face the challenges that life presents and to do so in a way that glorifies the Father. With God’s Spirit in us, we learn to be strong in the midst of daily difficulties, knowing that we do not fight alone: God fights with us and for us!

Ask now for a fresh anointing of the Holy Spirit, and you will see how you receive strength and courage to live each day for God’s glory. Allow the Holy Spirit to touch your heart today.

Day Before Yesterday's Word

Be fruitful!

Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.
- John 15:4–5

In the same way, we cannot expect to produce spiritual fruit, joy, peace, love, and salvation while being far from God. To be fruitful Christians, we must first receive the nourishment we need by remaining connected to Christ, our source of life. The closer we are to Jesus, the stronger we will be spiritually, and the more fruit we will bear.

If you feel that life is very hard or overwhelming, if you lack the strength to keep going, perhaps you need to spend more time with God. Make Him a priority; cultivate your relationship with Him so you can receive encouragement and strength to face your challenges. Fill your heart with the Lord every day. Talk to Him, read His Word, receive His love, and you will see your perspective begin to change.

Feed your spirit and allow God’s love and power to flow through you. Begin to bear abundant fruit, drawing others closer to the Kingdom of God.
