Don’t let your weakness diminish your awareness of the depth of God’s love for you.

If only you knew how truly loved you are by God! His love is beyond our comprehension—like trying to fit the ocean into a thimble. When we stand before the throne of God, we will be awestruck by the magnitude of His love for us.

Then, we will fully understand the meaning of: “For God so loved the world.” We will grasp how precious we are in His sight—how He covers us in our failures, insecurities, and moments of inadequacy.

Even in our weakness, when we doubt if God can work through us, we will come to realize just how deeply loved we are.

Trust today that He can use you despite your weaknesses. Step out in faith, and let His love shine through you like never before.

It’s not in our strength, as Paul said—it’s in our weakness that the power of God is made known.

It’s time to pray.

Luke 8:22 – Now, it happened on a certain day that He got into a boat with His disciples. And He said to them, “Let us cross over to the other side of the lake.”

Jesus is inviting us to join Him on a journey that will require us to have faith in His word. If we don’t have faith, every time we face storms and trials, we will be easily moved to fear.

He is sending us on a mission—to set captives free, to come against the powers of darkness, and to speak with authority to prison doors so that they may be opened. But it is faith that moves mountains. It is faith that places spiritual authority in our mouths and in our hearts.

There must be an expectation that God will stretch out His hand through our lives, even in the midst of our own storms and trials. We will face them, but we will get through—if we learn that…

It’s time to pray.

You may think your prayers are feeble today. It's easy to believe that if we find the right formula or pray long enough, our prayers will become effective. 

Even when we have faith, doubt can still creep in. We all struggle with it. We want to believe wholeheartedly, but sometimes we falter. We may feel unworthy of mercy and think that our prayers are too weak, but let me assure you, both thoughts are untrue. 

Here's what you can do. Embrace the truth that Jesus came for you regardless of your failures. Trust in His mercy and know that your prayers have power, not because of your strength, but because of His grace. Don't let doubt hold you back. Keep praying and believing. Keep seeking God's guidance because He promises He will listen and answer. 

It's time to pray.

I want to encourage you never to believe the lie that you do not deserve mercy. It's important to understand that mercy is not about being worthy or deserving. It cannot be earned or paid for by our good deeds or actions. It's simply an act of God's grace and compassion. 

I believe that God seeks individuals willing to receive His mercy. If you believe the lie you're unworthy, I want to tell you that is false. Jesus said He did not come for the righteous but to call sinners to repentance. 

Let go of the belief that you have to earn or deserve mercy. Instead, embrace the truth that God's mercy is freely available. Why not ask for it today? Why not begin to walk in it today? Why not embrace it today? 

It's time to pray.

In 2 Timothy 1:7, Paul says, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”

Don't be afraid. If you have accepted Christ as your Lord and Savior, your name is already written in Heaven. Heaven is your home; right now, a mansion is being prepared for you. You will rule with Christ for eternity. Trust in God's plan and live a life that will confidently bring honor to God's name through the power of the Holy Spirit.

When Jesus rose from the dead, He took our captivity captive and bestowed gifts upon us. These gifts are abilities that can only come from God. Through Jesus Christ, we are cleansed and declared as clean as God Himself. The scripture says we become God's righteousness in Christ Jesus. 

We’re also promised a new, abundant, eternal life, which gives us a purpose for living on this earth. Let's recognize our limitations and surrender our efforts to God. We should rely on Him to free us from sin's bondage and empower us with the gifts only He can give. 

Let's embrace the righteousness and abundant life God offers us through Jesus Christ and live by His will for each of our lives. 

My brother, my sister, it's time to pray.

Have you ever considered that God did not hold back His own Son but gave Him up for all of us? If He was willing to make such a sacrifice, how much more will He freely give us? Everything we need? 

God didn't withhold His Son from you. He allowed His Son to endure the cross, be beaten, and pay the price for all our wrongs. Jesus’ sacrifice allows us to be reconnected to the living God. We experience the abundant life He has for us on this earth and have an eternal relationship with Him.

Embrace the truth today that God is for you. Trust in His love and sacrifice. Live confidently, knowing that no power can overcome you. Seek to deepen your relationship with God and live fully in the life He prepared for you.

My brother and my sister, it's time to pray.

Acts 16:25 says, “But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.”

Midnight, the darkest hour, is a type of place that is entirely void of hope. Yet, at that time, God gave Paul and Silas a song. When it's darkest in your life, the last thing you want to do is sing, but not these men. 

Nobody can take away the song that God has planted inside of you. If it's a song the world produced, it can be taken away. But if it's a song planted in your heart by the one whose Kingdom is within us, then nothing of this world can remove it. God put you where you are for the sake of somebody else; your song will be what sets them free. 

My brother, my sister, it's time to pray.

1 Corinthians 1:26–28 says, “For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called. But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, that no flesh should glory in His presence.”

Here's the amazing part: In Christ Jesus, we have been given wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption, all as gifts from God. We've also been equipped with supernatural abilities to fulfill our divine callings. 

We are not meant to be mere spectators in the church world but active participants in advancing God's Kingdom. Let us recognize and embrace our calling today as members—important members, wonderful members—of the body of Jesus Christ. 

It's time now to pray.

I want to remind you that we are a supernatural people designed to be the church of Jesus Christ. Our purpose is not to argue about the existence of God but to be a living testimony of this reality. We're destined to go places only those who walk with God can reach. 

We've each been given unique abilities to accomplish what only God can do. These things will bring His name to reputation through us. Instead of engaging in debates, our mission is to show who God truly is through our lives. Let's embrace this truth and demonstrate God's love, power, and transformation. 

Join us every Wednesday at 7:00 PM EST at itstimetopray.org. We’re gathering worldwide to pray together, and we believe in this demonstration of God's power to be in us.

It's time now to pray.
