When you are frustrated about a situation, prayerfully decide what you want. Then, put the matter in God’s hands. Believe He is with you. You can expect results if you commit your way to the Lord, work hard and do your part and trust Him.

Do you ever yourself in a situation where you think, I don’t know what to say? Perhaps a friend tells you that they got fired, or someone is getting a divorce, or grieving a deep loss. When this happens, pray for God to give you the right words, and if that doesn’t help, just sit with them and let them know you’ll hold them in your prayers.

When you are in tune with God you understand and follow His guidance. You recognize that His instructions are based on His supernatural power which will guide you to carry out His plan for you. The key is that you must trust and obey Him.

When you are in the midst of life’s storms, don’t make Peter’s mistake. Instead of filling your mind and heart with fear, keep your eyes fixed on Jesus. Know when to ask for His help and remain confident that He will never fail you.

The Bible is filled with examples of the marvelous things Jesus did for people. Through faith, they were able to achieve great things. Recognize that the same thing can happen to you. Jesus is the same restorer of courage, the same transformer of people’s souls.

Is your prayer life as “lazy as an old dog sleeping by the fire”? What a great image! If any part of you feels that your faith could use a jumpstart, commit to making a change today. God knows your weaknesses and He is always ready for you to come to Him.
