When You Are in Need of Prayer
“Remember, Lord, how I have walked before you faithfully and with wholehearted devotion and have done what is good in your eyes.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly.—2 Kings 20:3 (NIV)
King Hezekiah was an honest and good ruler. When he became ill, he prayed the above words and God gave him fifteen more years of life. If you are in desperate need of God’s help, model your prayer after King Hezekiah.
Heavenly Father, I have walked before you faithfully. See my tears and hear my prayers.

God Is in Control

Happy Valentine’s Day
…So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.—Ephesians 3:17-19 (NIV)
Rick Warren said, “God’s love is like an ocean. You can see its beginning, but not its end.” His love for you is unconditional and eternal. He loves you on good days and bad ones. He loves you no matter what. His love never fails.
