Live . . . Pray

I meet with individuals who face impossible situations.  I mean they're days are filled with the kind of stuff that no one wants to face, let alone live in.  And.  There are many times they just walk away from it all.   It all seems too hard to keep on living in the impossible.  But.  I've seen the miracle of transformation.  Though sometimes it's hard to imagine, if, we trust God has something more, walking through the day with confidence God will bring all the details together, we will have the power of hope  to proceed.

Consider what happened to Solomon:
Then the LORD appeared to Solomon in the night and said to him:"I have heard your prayer,and have chosen this place for myself as a house of sacrifice. (2 Chronicles 7:12, NRS) 
Regardless of who we are and what we are facing, we need to pray more, with the belief all things are possible, including the most impossible situations, trusting all things will be made new, remembering all things, the good and the bad, will work together with a divine purpose, living in the realm of divine power, refusing to fear, walking in faith despite what it may seem like, knowing God has heard our prayer and is working on our behalf.
  • Think about 2 Chronicles 7:12:  God told Solomon that his prayer was heard and answered.
  • Think about it again:  God listened and responded.
  • Pray.
  • Pray throughout the day with unwavering faith that God hears and answers.
  • Pray more.
Learning to Kickstart the day in prayer.
