It is said you can go 40 days without food and four days without water. However, how long can you go without hope? It supplies enough reason for us to live and helps us face challenges of everyday life. What happens when you have no hope and where do you turn to find it?

When you are faced with a crisis where do you go? How do you respond to them? At times when facing a crisis, we wish God would give us a sign. One that would see us through. For one king, God did just that. He gave a sign that would lead to great things to come.  

When it comes to decisions, we just decide in moment. At times when it comes to following God's way, perhaps we don't just decide, but we may need to pre-decide.

What happens when we are at our limit? Usually, good things don't happen. But what about God? What happens when He is at His limits? If anyone could have tested God and his grace, it could have been the boy that went from shepherd to king. 

God's grace can be extended to anyone and at any time. For a harlot, that is exactly what happened. When God extended grace her way, not only did He peel away her label, but her life was also never the same. 

What do you do when you have a mess on your hands? You pick a spot and start there. What did God do when he had a mess on His hands? Well, the answer, just may surprise you. 

When asked to pray many of us have various responses. It is not that we don't want to pray, we just don't know how to pray. The good news is that Jesus didn't leave us to figure it out on our own. Jesus doesn't tell us what to pray, but how to pray. When we pray like Jesus, our prayers can be life changing. 

Prayer can get you to doubt, have disappointments or even cause weariness to get you to quit. No matter how you feel about persistent prayer, Jesus wants to tackle you biggest gripe. Ultimately, He is honored that you will keep coming and coming to Him. 

What comes to mind when you hear the word prayer? It might mean conversing with God or it may mean coming to him in time of need. Perhaps it means short conversations before bedtime or mealtime. What if it is so much more than that? Just maybe it may take a little more on your part to discover what God wants for you and your prayer life. 

Years ago, Jesus asked His followers a profound question and He asks it of us today. The answer to this specific question, just may make you honest and open about your relationship with Jesus.
