If you’ve every attended a church service or heard someone pray, you may think you cannot pray because you could not use the type of words or phrases, that those you heard used. This however could not be further from reality, as God wants you to speak to Him just as you would anyone else.

So have a think about how you speak to your family and friends…This is exactly how God wants you to speak to Him.

Speak to God as you would another human.

Speak to God about anything and everything that’s on your mind, because He cares about you, and everything you care about.

Speak to God just as you would your best friend.

Trust God more than you’d trust your best friend, because God, and God alone will always listen to you when you pray, and will always answer your prayers.

When we pray, tell God everything that’s on your mind, that’s worrying you, because only when you do give all your worries to Him, will you find peace. God has promised to help us in all times of need, so all we have to do is give Him all our worries, and He will help us.

1 Peter:5-6 (NLT)

So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honour. Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.

Do you ever think there’s nowhere for you or that no one wants or needs you? I have, a lot!

But there is a place for each of us in this world, and we are all needed by someone.

God put each one of us on this earth for a reason. God as a plan for each of us.

Therefore, we must put our trust in God to direct and guide us through life, even when it seems we’re not needed by anyone. God needs us and if we put our trust in Him, He will help us achieve all He knows we can achieve.

So find your somewhere by putting your full trust in God because He need you.

Only In His Strength

How many times must we try to do things by ourselves and fail before we remember that it’s only when we put our faith and trust in God, He will provide the strength we need to get us through each and every situation we find ourselves in?

I know I tend to be quite an independent person and try not to have to ask others for help if I can help it, but what I do need to constantly remind myself is that its ok to ask for help, particularly when its God we’re asking to help us.

Don’t try to get through life on your own, because you’ll fail. Instead, rely on God to provide you with the strength you need to get through the problems of life.

How many times have you found yourself saying, “I can’t do this anymore”?

Well in these last few days I’ve found myself saying this many times to myself as life just seems to be throwing some difficult situations at me one after another this year.

I’ve shed many tears while saying and thinking those words, and wondered, “How can I keep going through this?”. But then I’ve stopped myself and realised I’m simply questioning whether I can get through this because I’m trying to do so in my own strength – If I simply allow God‘s strength to surround me I can get through this, because God is my rock and my tower of strength.

In this song by Steven Curtis Chapman we are reminded that His Strength is Perfect when our strength has gone:

In the last couple of weeks I keep coming across references to the following quote:

God may not get us out of a situation, but He will give us the strength to get through it.

I don’t think it’s coincidence that I’ve been reminded of this quote on a regular basis recently, because, as many of you will know, there are a number of situations going on in my life just now which mean I’ve finding life quite difficult at present.

The one consolation I have is that I truly believe the above words…that God will give me the strength to get through it! Therefore, no matter how distant God may seem to you just now, don’t give up, because God is with you, and He will help you get through these difficult days.

Failing

I’m praying Lord break me
I’m praying Lord take me
I’m praying Lord make me
All I’ve failed to be

Yes, we may have failed many times in our life. Yes, we may failed others many times in our life, but God still loves us and will forgive us if only we will give ourselves to Him.

God and only God knows us and truly understands our failings and can help us achieve all we are capable of.

 

With or Without Him

Yes, we can get through life by ourselves without God, and without His help.

But the converse is also true, we can get through life with God’s help and support.

So why should we choose to believe in God and live our life with Him rather than without Him?

God made each one of us as individuals, and He planned our whole life out for us before we were even born. Therefore if we believe in God and let Him guide us through life, surely we will achieve all we can in life, as God knows and understand us and our abilities.

saints and sinnersEvery saint has a past and every sinner has a future ~ Oscar Wilde

It’s reassuring to know, isn’t it, that no matter what we have done in our past, that God can still use us to be great examples for Him in the future. Therefore, do not worry that your past means God cannot use you, because that could not be further from the truth. In fact, it’s often because of our past transgressions, that God can use us best, because other will be able to relate to our past.

I see your hardships and I care about your suffering ~ Psalm 31:7

Hard times come to us all at some point in our lives. Some experience few hardships in their life, others can experience what seems like unending hardships. In either circumstance it can be difficult at times to remember that God does still care about us, particularly when we suffer sudden loses or hardships. However it’s during these times that God cares for us even more than we can imagine.

Yes, God loves us and cares for us everyday, but when we’re hurting, He hurts too. He hurts because we are His children.
