As a people we can always turn to God when we face difficult circumstances. God did not give us a spirit of fear. The Spirit gives us courage to face fearful situations, to endure suffering and be hopeful. Therefore, I encourage you to trust in God at all times. He is our Refuge and Strength. He is a present help in trouble.

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto think own understanding. In all thy was acknowledge Him and He shall direct they path. Proverbs 3: 5-6

Life is sometimes filled with hard knocks to the extent that, if we are not strong in the Lord, we will lose our minds. However, when our heart is overwhelmed we can go to Jesus, the Rock that is higher than us. He is a shelter for us and a strong tower from the enemy. He is our hiding place. He cares about our struggles. Evang. Staple-Reid

Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord, praise ye the Lord. Psalm 150:6

Regardless of your situation today, in spite of your conditon find a praise in your heart. Praise God that you are alive. The enemy may have launched his missiles but praise God anyhow.

Prayer is important in the life of the believer in Jesus Christ. Through Prayer we grow and maintain a relationship with God as we alignment our will ánd was to what He desire of us. We should endeavor to pray for others first..our loved ones, those who teach, national leaders and those at work, for those in trouble and then ourselves. Pray all in the name of Jesus. That name heals and delivers all. It is powerful and it works.

Be watchful and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die.(Rev. 3:2) Watch ye therefore and pray always that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass , and to stand before the son of man.(Luke 21:36)

Rise, take up your bed and walk, is the clarion call today. Rise describes an elevation in our spiritual state, to a place closer to God. Getting up is proof that we have been cured spiritually. Therefore, we need to get up and do what God has called us to do.

"Be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgive you" Eph. 4:32. God bless you as you forgive those who have hurt you. with forgiveness comes healing, and hope coupled with love which comes from the Father of light.

Ephesians 4:29 "Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your month, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister Grace unto the hearers."

Lord, I need to understand my own heart. My prayer today is "Search me O God and know my heart. Try me and know my thoughts. And see if there be any wicked way in me and lead me in the way everlasting". Ps. 139:23-24
