Don’t be Afraid to ask Someone to Pray for you
For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them. – Matthew 18:20 As God’s people, we are meant to declare blessings to others and pray for them. So if you are struggling right now and you badly need help, then look for someone who can pray for you. Do not be afraid because a true Christian loves to pray for his brothers and sisters. Jesus said that two or three gathered in His name, then He will be in the midst. This is how powerful corporate prayer is. Some of our prayer requests are too personal, so you must look for someone that you can…

Can’t you see?
Yes, you are surrounded by so many problems. You are carrying a heavy burden. You feel like there’s no hope. But can’t you see? God is still giving you another day to live. He is providing you all your needs. You are still breathing and learning new things. You are still living with the people who deeply love you. Maybe you think that you are alone, but the truth is, God’s grace has been with you ever since you are born. It’s hard to see the good things, especially when your heart is breaking but believe with all your heart that the ways of God are still the same. You…

Faith that is beyond Knowledge and Understanding
The ways of God are always hard to fathom. That’s why having faith in Him means trusting in His goodness even if you can’t fully understand what’s going on. It’s not easy to believe in something that you can’t see. You need to surrender your own thoughts and understanding so that you can give God the chance to perform miracles. You can’t experience more of Him if you keep on holding on to the things you already know. Sometimes, all you need to do is believe in His promises, even if your situation doesn’t make sense. Faith exists when you keep your hopes up even if you can’t see what’s…

We are called to serve others
Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave— just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” -Matthew 20: 25-28 Jesus came here on earth to show us what it means to serve. Yes, He is the Son of God, but still, He demonstrated to us how to truly love…

When God gave you a Desire that is beyond your ability
God’s purpose in your life is always greater than yourself, and it’s not that He wants to make you feel intimidated, but He wants you to trust in Him and rely on His grace. When the desires that He planted is beyond what you can do, then it means that God will move in your life. He doesn’t want you to boast in your own ability. Instead, you need to depend on Him. You will know that it’s a God-given dream when you acknowledge to yourself that you can’t do it on your own because by then, you will fully trust in God’s hands. Thank Him because He planted that…

Sometimes, you need to Deal with your Problems on the Spiritual Level
There are problems that are caused by the enemy, so if you think that there’s nothing that you can do in the physical realm, then you need to learn how to fight the battle on the spiritual level. Maybe your faith is being tested, and you need to hold on to God so that you will receive enough strength. This is the reason why you must keep on praying. Do not stop talking to Him. Stay connected in His presence. Align your thoughts to His will, and you will know what to do. Acknowledge the truth that the spiritual world exists. You may not physically see it, but a lot…

This is what makes you Unclean
“Don’t you see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then out of the body? But the things that come out of a person’s mouth come from the heart, and these defile them. For out of the heart come evil thoughts—murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander. These are what defile a person; but eating with unwashed hands does not defile them.” -Matthew 15:17-20 Whatever comes out from your mouth comes from your heart. If your heart is full of evil thoughts, immorality, and negative things, then it will manifest in your words. This is what makes you unclean. So check your heart and try to…

3 things to Remember when you Feel so Afraid
That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side.” Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him. A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, “Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?” He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm. He said to his…

Father God, Please help my Unbelief
Father, I can’t do this without you. There are times when my mind is full of doubts. What if things will not go well? What if the pain will not end? What if this mess grows bigger? I’m just so tired. I hear so many voices in my head telling me to give up and stop everything that I’m doing. I hear a whisper that says, I am worthless. I know you are there, but why can’t I feel you? Why can’t I feel your love? Where are you, Lord? I need your help. Please increase my faith. It seems like I’m on my own now. I’m so lonely and…

Stepping Outside the Boat
Shortly before dawn, Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said and cried out in fear. But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.” “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.” “Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on water, and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of…
