When we feel alone…Jesus is there for us.
When we feel rejected…Jesus is there for us.
When life is cruel to us…Jesus is there for us.
In all these situations, pray, because Jesus is there for you, and will help you.

Prayer is the soul’s sincere desire,
Uttered or unexpressed,
The motion of a hidden fire
That trembles in the breast.
Prayer is the burden of a sigh`
The falling of a tear;
The upward glancing of an eye
When none but God is near.
by James Montgomery (1771-1854)

In your presence there is comfort In your presence there is peace When we seek to know your heart We will find such blessed assurance In your holy presence, hope
Prayer is not merely about asking God for things, but about enjoying His presence. When praying to God you should pause for a moment, and acknowledge that you are in the presence of infinite Love.
Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. ~ Revelation 3:20 (NKJV)

When your friends or family do something for you, I bet you always say thank you to them for their help, so why treat God any differently? Therefore, as well as talking to God about things that are worrying you, and things you especially need His help with, please remember to say thank you to Him for all He does for you.
In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you ~ 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (NKJV)
Expressing gratitude to God is an essential part of our prayer life, as it reminds us of what He has been and is doing within our lives, bringing us peace, comfort, and joy.
So give thanks with a grateful heart…

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.
How To Be More Effective

We all live very busy lives these, running around from one task to another, without having any time to stop and consider how effectively we are at actually achieving anything. So here’s a lovely poem I came across which give us some guidance on how to live more effective lives:
To Be More Effective by M.S.Lowndes I know I need to concentrate Wholly Lord on you But why does that always seem So hard for me to do I get so easily distracted With so many worldly thoughts Unable to stay focused on you And on the things I ought Lord I long so much to know Your tender loving ways And to be much more effective When to you I humbly pray I need your Holy Spirit Filling me this hour So I will be fully equipped Inspired and empowered Then I can face the day ahead And be ready for what may come To continue to walk and to flourish In the things that you’ve begun To bring it into maturity A full completion in you So when others may behold your works They will long to know you tooCare You Not

Care You Not By William J Shannon
In the paths along the way,
Countless souls are passing by,
Many lost and some are saved.
Shall we stand idly by?
So you not care for those in pain,
Those we love, in sin do die.
When by a word, or some kind deed,
Will cheer some soul in need.
Blessed Saviour, be our Guide,
To have us bring the light
To souls that are lost,
Down to the foot of the cross.
Do you care about those in pain?
Do you care about those in need?
Do you care about those who haven’t found Christ?
All those of us who answered “Yes” to these questions, will be doing their best to help those of you who said “No”, to accept Christ as their saviour.
Let’s knee down before Christ, at the foot of the cross, and thank Him for giving His life for us, and in turn accepting Him into our lives.
If it wasn’t for my faith…

Have you ever wondered how your life would have turned out and how you would have coped with life , if you hadn’t accepted Christ as your saviour?
I have, particularly in these last few weeks as we’ve had to cope with the death of first my Dad and then my Aunt Mae.
Just after my Dad passed away, someone said to me that, “There are only two certainties on life, one that you have been born, and secondly, that you will die” – Despite this, we all find the death of a loved one very upsetting and difficult to cope with.
It’s therefore no surprise to me that during these difficult and stressful weeks, I’ve relied heavily on God to keep me strong for my Mum and focused enough make all the required arrangements etc. So much so, I actually feel as if I’ve been running on auto-pilot for weeks now, as every day seems to have been a bit of a blur and I’m not sure I can actually tell you what I did on any particular day since the middle of February!
That said, I’m not sure I would have been able to get through these weeks if God hadn’t been there with me, as there were times when I honestly felt I couldn’t cope with any more problems, but as you can tell, I got through those days, and that I simply put down to the fact that my faith reassured me that God is with me at all times, and is helping me when my own strength has gone.
Today I thank God for my faith. Without Him, these last few weeks would have been even harder to face than they were.
Life’s Anchor

Life can be a frightening experience at times, particularly during times of uncertainty. It’s also during times of uncertainty that we need our faith to be at its strongest. However, it’s often when times are tough for us that we question our faith and question God’s love for us.
Don’t let life’s problems weigh you down, stay strong and keep believing in Christ.
My thoughts for today are summed up nicely by the following quote I came across recently:
Both faith and fear may sail into your harbour, but allow only faith to drop anchor.

We are all works-in-progress
Philippians 1:6 (NLT) says:
And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.
So as you can see, God tells us in Philippians, that was we are works in progress, by reminding us that although He has been working in us from the moment we were born, He has promised to keep working in us until either Jesus returns to earth or He calls us home to heaven.
Therefore, today I want to say to you, never think God has given up on you as a lost cause because He will keep working in your life.
It’s Finished

How deep the Fathers love for us. How vast beyond all measure, that He should give His only son to make a wretch His treasure. Why should I gain from His reward, I cannot give an answer. But, this I know with all my heart, His wounds have paid my ransom.
Christ willingly died for us. He shed His blood just so we could live.
I will never forget the great sacrifice Christ gave for me, and that is why today, I again say thank you to God for accepting me for who I am, faults and all. I believe because I have given my heart, my life, my all to Him, that He can achieve all He needs and wants me to.
It was my sin that held him there Until it was accomplished His dying words have brought me life I know that it is finished.
