Fervent Prayers.

I will not allow a gift to become a curse. The opportunities to pray for those in my life is a blessing. No matter how hard it gets, I believe that they are in God's hands. Nothing is impossible for God! Psalm 34:17 says, "The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles." He is the only one capable of truly saving those who are lost. God has given me a burden to pray for those who are within my reach and I will do so diligently. The enemy would love for me to fall into despair but that is not what God wants. "Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done." (Phil 4:6)

When I was visiting Nicaragua for the first time I began to feel for those in pain and instead of getting overwhelmed, I released it to God. In return He explained to me that he wants to hear my prayers. It fueled the passion in my heart. I will not allow myself to get backed into a corner, afraid that nothing will change! I will speak out. I will not remain silent.

"Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results." - James 5:16

God, please give me faith! 

I know that you keep all of your promises, Good King. 

Help me to see through your eyes.

Amen.

I choose you.

In the lowest moment in my life, I want to choose God. He has the ability to pull you out of the darkness if you would only turn to him. Thinking back on all of the darkness I was once involved in, I cannot stand for mediocrity! God has rescued be from the hands of the wicked. He is my shepherd, my king and my close friend. Its sad how on a daily basis God can be pushed to the backs of our minds, when he really should be our only focus. All things belong to God. I am infinitely grateful that God is in charge of my life.

I choose joy over depression.

I choose life over death.

Right now I am choosing to spend more time in God's word, more time in abandoned worship and deep prayer. I am expecting a change in my life! Why? Because "I can do all things through Him who strengthens me." (Philippians 4:1) He has already moved mountains in my life, who says that he cannot still do great things?

"Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus." 

Philippians 4:6-7
