Today's Word

How is your daily struggle going?

Even the strongest warriors need rest! Many times we complicate our situation because we do not learn to stop and recover our strength. True rest is found in God. Trust Him and surrender your life to the Lord. Believe that He will help you with the challenges of everyday life.

The Lord replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”
- Exodus 33:14

What challenges are you facing today? Talk to God and place everything in His hands. You do not need to carry your burdens alone. God offers you His strong arms, in which you can place your burdens and rest. Do not reject the help of the One who can give true rest to your life.

Cast your cares on the Lord
and he will sustain you;
he will never let
the righteous be shaken.
- Psalm 55:22

No matter how heavy your burden may be, God can carry it. He is far greater and more powerful. He has the solution to what may be weighing on you. Reach out and hold firmly to the Lord. In Him you will find the relief you need to move forward with confidence and optimism.

Choose to trust in God’s power and surrender your struggles to Him. Speak to the Father with all your heart and decide to rest in Him. Receive right now the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding.

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
- Philippians 4:6–7

Word of the Day: Tired of praying? Don't give up, the answer will come!

Have you been praying for something for ages? Keep going, don't give up! The Bible warns us that when we do not receive what we are praying for it is sometimes because we do not know how to ask. Sometimes we only use prayer as our last resort, but in the Bible, we are told that we should never stop praying!

16 Rejoice always, 17 pray continually, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

A life built on continually praying would be an incredible life! But it is also a real challenge to us, because all too often our prayers run dry, and we get tired of asking, of going for years without seeing the door opening.

Do not give up praying. Jesus assures us that, although the timing might not be the timing we were expecting, prayers will be answered, doors will be opened, and we will receive the things that we ask for. Jesus wants you to know that if you seek with all your heart, you will receive, you will find.

Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
-- Matthew 7:7

The answer will come!

Day Before Yesterday's Word

Word of the Day: This is the greatest gift of all...

What is the most important gift in the Bible? Is it prophecy, knowledge, wisdom, or faith? No! The greatest gift of all is love. The Bible says that God is love and that without love, we are nothing. Love transforms us and makes us more like Jesus. The Christian life should be a life of love.

If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.

1 Corinthians 13:2

Any other gift you have been given should be used with love. If you use any other gift without caring for others, then you should go before God and ask Him for guidance, and to fill you with His Holy Spirit and His love.

God’s Love and Ours

7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.

1 John 4:7-9

Do you want to be effective in your service to God? Do you want to transform this world for the glory of God? Do you want your life to reflect that God is the center and the one who drives you? Fill your heart with the most important gift: fill your heart with the love of God.
