Three Immune Definitions: The innate immune system is a nonspecific defense against antigens (viruses, yeasts, bacteria, etc.) that are foreign or harmful to the human body. The innate immune system responds immediately or within hours of the antigens arrival in the body. The adaptive immune system is also called the acquired immune system. It eliminates and prevents pathogens from growing using specialized cells and processes. Neutrophils are the most abundant white blood cells in the body and the first to arrive when a foreign substance (bacteria, viruses, etc.) enters the body.

If you’re going through a hard time, learn how to use Scripture to shape your prayers. You’ll also learn why we should use Bible verses when praying. Praying Scripture is a wonderful way to pray when you're not sure what to pray, have run out of words, or are just learning to pray. I've been a Christian for 25 years and praying Scripture is still one of my favorite ways to pray. That's because it combines Bible study time with prayer, grows my relationship with God, and deepens my understanding of God's Word. The best part is that when you understand the context of the verses you're praying you can be certain you're praying God's will.

First, we'll cover why and when we should fast and finish with steps for doing an actual fast. Dear friend, I couldn't think of a better time than now for doing a food fast.

The following is a list of people who shouldn’t fast unless they’ve been cleared by their doctor or are receiving medical supervision. If you’re unable to do a food fast, that’s okay. Instead, ask the Lord what you could fast in place of food. Check out this episode here on fasting social media for God.

If you have any concerns about fasting, it’s always best to ask your doctor first. Please don’t undergo a rigorous food fast unless you’re certain you’re healthy enough to fast.

Are you struggling to trust the Lord today? If so, learn how Proverbs 3:5-6 teaches us to trust the Lord in difficult times. Dear friend, God is for us and wants us to trust Him. We're in the midst of a trying time in history and the world needs hope. As Christians our trust in the Lord, our unwavering hope in His provision and deliverance is needed. Trusting God can be hard, especially when we're surrounded by the unknown. It's times like these that should remind us - God is with us, God is for us, and God will never forsake His people. Just like God was with Israel as He walked them through the wilderness, He's with you. Just like Israel learned to trust God, we're called to trust in the Lord with all our heart.
