It's not how you Pray, it's When U Pray
“You must be patient. After you have done what God wants, you will get what he promised you.”
Hebrews 10:36 ERV
I think the waiting causes us to feel that God forgot about us or that he is not coming through. While we wait we have time to meditate on his word and know that he got us. Let’s focus on the promises of God and not the problem or the wait. He coming. Hang tight 💚

I am a firm believer that it is not how you pray but whenupray that things change. It is when you apply your heart and soul to the goal of talking to God and relying on him to change your life that you see positive change. I was reminded of the following scripture;
“But I must not be too proud of the wonderful things that were shown to me. So a painful problem was given to me—an angel from Satan, sent to make me suffer, so that I would not think that I am better than anyone else. I begged the Lord three times to take this problem away from me. But the Lord said, “My grace is all you need. Only when you are weak can everything be done completely by my power.” So I will gladly boast about my weaknesses. Then Christ’s power can stay in me.”
2 Corinthians 12:7-9 ERV
https://www.bible.com/406/2co.12.7-9.erv
I am reminded that we do not have to be strong in any situation, we have to trust God. That’s it, that’s the post.
When you feel overwhelmed or overtaken, take it to the Lord in prayer and watch things change.
I do not believe God is a genie in a bottle and when you pray, poof everything becomes good in the world. What i do know is, he is a way maker, he is a miracle worker, he is peace in the middle of a storm and he is a promise keeper so rest assured, he has your back.
His grace is all you need.
“God raised Jesus from death. And if God’s Spirit lives in you, he will also give life to your bodies that die. Yes, God is the one who raised Christ from death, and he will raise you to life through his Spirit living in you.”
Romans 8:11 ERV
https://www.bible.com/406/rom.8.11.erv
I don’t know about you but the current state of the world and life has caused numerous things in my life to die. Creativity, drive, joy,
peace and stability. To name a few… I’m sure you can relate. But oh baby Just as life was put back in Jesus on the 3rd day. The same life will be put back into you. You will be creative, you will find joy, you will find peace. You shall be healed. You will be successful and walk on your purpose. It is written!! And I believe it!! Let’s go!!!

“In that day you will no longer ask me anything. Very truly I tell you, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.”
John 16:23 NIV
https://www.bible.com/111/jhn.16.23.niv
Ask, you know, for that thing that you think is not really important or the thing that you think is too small or too big For God. He got you, he is just waiting on you to have the faith to ask for it. Seal it with Jesus name and it’s yours!!! It’s up there in the word so it can’t come back void(meaning it’s law) now go ahead and ask. 💚🤞🏽

“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”
Galatians 6:9 NIV
https://www.bible.com/111/gal.6.9.niv
This is one of my favorite scriptures because it says God got you covered. Just don’t give up……. When you tired of your car messing up, when your job is bout to end and you still gotta show up, when you don’t feel qualified. When it’s more bills than money!! When your body is tired from functioning at an all time high. God says I see you and I will take care of you!!! Do not give up!! Please keep pushing through. God can’t lie. So he coming!!!
Straight faith 💚🤞🏽
“Then he went up and touched the bier they were carrying him on, and the bearers stood still. He said, “Young man, I say to you, get up!” The dead man sat up and began to talk, and Jesus gave him back to his mother.”
Luke 7:14-15 NIV
https://www.bible.com/111/luk.7.14-15.niv
In this scripture Jesus brought the dead man back to life. The man was dead yall. And he told him to get up!!! And he did!!! He is saying the same thing to you. Every dead thing in you, he is calling it to get up. Dead joy, dead peace, dead happiness, dead finances, dead passion, dead purpose. Whatever it is that you have allowed to die due to life and it’s experiences is coming back to life in the name of Jesus!!! “GET UP” 🏆

“Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this is also vanity and vexation of spirit.”
Ecclesiastes 6:9 KJV
https://www.bible.com/1/ecc.6.9.kjv
In this season let’s make sure we are truly thankful for the things we have. We always tend to want a little more but it’s not always needed. We are truly blessed to see December considering the year it has been. If God does not do anything else he has done more than enough. On this day let’s operate in pure thankfulness. 🏆

“And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 4:19 NIV

“From far away, the Lord will appear to his people. The Lord says, “I love you people with a love that continues forever. That is why I have continued showing you kindness.”
Jeremiah 31:3 ERV
https://www.bible.com/406/jer.31.3.erv
If I listened to every preacher and gospel speaker I will hear about the wonders of the Lord. I will hear how he blesses people , how he heals them and how he punishes them. If I listen a little longer they will tell me how God sent his only begotten son to cleanse me of my sins and that by choosing Jesus I will have ever lasting life. I believe all those things yes I do, but I also believe in Love, not just the love of Jesus but the love of God, he loved people so much that yes, he gave his only begotten son to free us from sin.
If I am free of sin why do people keep assigning sin? You know reminding you of how terrible you are, how bad your choices are and how much more righteous they are; showing you Old Testament scriptures to justify their actions. I’m always thrown off when someone can categorize sin to me that has been forgiven.
I’m no Bible scholar and I realize some of the Bible is deeper that am able to comprehend but my relationship with God is just as deep and I will continue to allow the Holy Spirit to lead and guide me and I will continue to believe that Jesus died for my sins.
I will continue to believe that the love God has for me and mankind will never end, that his compassion will never end and his mercy will show up new each day.
“Yes, I am sure that nothing can separate us from God’s love—not death, life, angels, or ruling spirits. I am sure that nothing now, nothing in the future, no powers, nothing above us or nothing below us—nothing in the whole created world—will ever be able to separate us from the love God has shown us in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Romans 8:38-39 ERV

“The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.””
Exodus 14:14 NIV
https://www.bible.com/111/exo.14.14.niv
A lot of times we create frustration and anxiety by trying to figure it out. When God literally told us to chill he got us. So that’s your challenge. To put your gloves down and let him handle it. You know what it is. Let it go. 🏆
“So do not have trouble in your mind about what might happen tomorrow. Tomorrow will have its own problems. It is enough for you to be thinking each day about the problems of that day.’”
Matthew 6:34 EASY
https://www.bible.com/2079/mat.6.34.easy
Yesterday is gone and everything that had to do with it. God told us not to worry. Focus on today and everything else will work itself out. Today be thankful for life, employment, good health, finances, a car to drive, a home to go too, food to eat. A sound mind. You know the little things that we tend to take for granted. Today will be good because we said it will!! Let’s go🏆

Right on the other side of your fear..

I woke up just thinking about how crazy this year has been. How things have been happening that is totally unimaginable. A virus that’s killing people and shutting the whole world down. It’s still hard to grasp. People unemployed, kids out of school, finances shot to hell AND GOD KEPT US!!!! Insert a shout. We still working, we still have food, we still have each other. Omg!!! Today let’s just focus on how blessed we are to have the things we need. Who cares if we can’t have what we want right now. God kept us in a season where many lost everything, including their life. Whew!! God kept us. 💚🙌🏽
