Isaiah 43:1 But now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.
Whether we feel that we are on a torrential sea and about to drown, or we feel that we are in a scorching, fiery furnace we must remember….We are not alone.
Our Savior calls us. He KNOWS our name. He KNOWS every tear that falls. We are redeemed. Because He lives we can face every tomorrow that He allows us to have. The simple fact of you waking up this morning to a brand new day should give you hope that He believes in you, for scripture says ‘his mercies are new every morning’.
We must not fear!
Philippians 4:6-7 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Don’t be anxious. You've got help. You can do this! If one warrior is tired in battle there has to be another warrior who will help him/her up. God’s army is moving onward. Prayer crowns all lawful effort with success and gives victory when nothing else can. It is so very good to have friends who know how to pray when we can't seem to find the words to do it ourselves.
Prayer is the passage for peace in our life. The peace of God (which really does surpass all understanding) shall keep hearts and minds in safe keeping. Not because of how strong we are, but because of how valiant HE is! HIS grace, not our own, is sufficient. So don’t put yourself in the category of “good candidate for a heart attack” and don’t “go crazy”. Rest in His sufficient grace. Be still and know that He is your Lord. Stay calm and carry on.
Ephesians 6:18 Pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of request
Women sometimes find it hard to find a block of time for “sweet hour of prayer” everyday. But, what we can do is talk to our Lord throughout the day, every day. Washing the dishes, making the beds, sweeping the floor, clothing the children, etc.…these tasks do not have to hinder us from conversing with our Lord. God’s people need prayer warriors and true warriors keep the Leader always in mind. How else do you think this ‘multi-tasking’ can get accomplished with a smile? J
No matter what the storm, no matter how hot the fiery trial, we must never, no never, give up! We must be persistent. Listen for His leading. Don’t try to figure it out by yourself. Burdens are not meant for us to carry alone. We are called by a name that is victorious. Our God is valiant in battle. He never fails, but always wins. Fear not!
