I pray that your (God’s) will for my life be done, and that the enemy will not have power over me, amen!
Luke 22:42 NLT
[42] “Father, if you are willing, please take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.”

Psalms 143:6 NLT
[6] I lift my hands to you in prayer. I thirst for you as parched land thirsts for rain. Interlude

Our desires for God increases when we experience spiritual dryness and depth hunger (spiritual feelings) for Him.
Usually, these desires only disappear when we engage in intense prayers. This is not just normal prayers, but a mutual communication with God that draws your heart to Him so you can know what the will of God is.
The next time you experience an inner, spiritual urge, do not hesitate to pray.
For the Christian, prayer is when you engage God in personal, cordial conversation with Him, and you can talk about various issues that is on your mind.
It’s 2024, a new year full of opportunities and advantages.
So, Why not talk to God about your aspirations and desires.
At least, give it a chance! Talk to Him about it.
Stop thinking about it; start talking to Him about it.
These times are dicey. Is it safe to say that the world is in a war crisis or on the edge of global war?
What does the prophecy say concerning Israel’s conflicts with neighboring nations?
I have been trying hard to search for any meaningful prophecy (if any) concerning Israel’s conflict with the Palestinian Hamas, simultaneously and dangerously involving the Middle Eastern nations.
Things look ugly, and one can only hope it could get better, but I think it might get worse before we realize what is happening before us.
We should be on guard and pray, too.
The prayer: lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the enemy. We will not be subject to the evil that will befall the world, Amen!
Purposeful-Living
I am a Son, and so, an heir to God’s promises. Therefore, I claim all God’s promises to me in Jesus mighty God. Galatians 4:7
That the will of God be done and His purpose for my life manifest so I can fulfill my reason for existence.
Amen!
Deliverance
Even when it seems like my problems linger on, prove yourself strong Lord, and show that you’re greater than all my troubles.
And victory shall be ours according to God-given power that is working in us, Amen.
One of the most important prayers in any man’s life is to pray not to fall into temptation.
Falling into temptation can bring any man down from grace to grass. It can also make a great man an ordinary man.
Matthew 26:40-41
40 Then he came to the disciples and found them sleeping. He said to Peter, “So, couldn’t you stay awake with me for one hour?
41 Stay awake and pray that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
This is so important that there is an instruction that whoever thinks he stands should watch lest he falls.
1Co 10:12 NET So let the one who thinks he is standing to be careful that he does not fall.
Don’t be so confident that you ignore a gentle warning.
When you’re troubled and distressed, it’s time to pray.
When you’re confused, it’s time to pray.
When you have a challenge and don’t know how to manage it, it’s time to pray.
When you’re in a dilemma and find it hard to make a good decision, pray.
And when everything seems alright, it’s time to pray.
Matthew 26:36-38
36 Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to the disciples, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.”
37 He took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and became anguished and distressed.
38 Then he said to them, “My soul is deeply grieved, even to the point of death. Remain here and stay awake with me.”
Arise oh Lord and scatter the works of the enemies.
Yeah, stop praying and start doing some work!
James 1:22-25 said we should be doing what the Word says and not just hear it only.
Hearing the Word but not doing anything is of no use.
Jesus gave us a perfect example. After He finished praying, He would often get up and start His day with His disciples.
It would be spiritual laziness to spend the entire time praying and doing nothing.
Even God works!
God spent the day creating the world and retiring in the “night.”
Let’s stop deceiving ourselves as if prayers solve everything without acting or working.
Let’s get to work out our faith with some works.
Amen!
