In the book of Philippians 4:6 We are instructed not to be anxious for nothing, but in everything by supplication and prayer, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Are you anxious for anything today? Don't worry, give it to God, ask him for whatever you need and allow him to give you what you need. I know sometimes it seems like no matter how you look at things, it won't be alright. But God is so compassionate, He desires to give you what you need. You can trust in His word, and know for sure that every word is true. I want to suggest if you are tired of trying to figure things out, go to God his yoke is easy and He will give you rest, but you must trust God, and let Him know what you need. In doing that you let Him know you believe in what you know to be true, but can't be seen. I pray peace for you today!

It's hard to know who you are if you are looking in the wrong place. If we go back to the beginning in Genesis, looking at Abraham's life it's amazing he was ninety-nine years old, and God still used him. He would become the father of many nations to include Jews and Gentiles. God had a plan for his life before he was conceived, and what that tells me is that God knew him and had a plan for his life before he was born.  God also has a plan for your life, it doesn't matter your age, your class in society, the color of your skin, or the amount of money in your bank account. If you are in a situation right now, you can't figure out what you are supposed to be doing, or your purpose in life, you first need to pray, ask God why are you feeling this way at this time. When you are experiencing storms in life, or feeling stuck change is taking place in your life. This is only a moment in time, it won't last forever so don't get stuck. Remember Jerimiah 29:11 God knows the plans he has for you, but sometimes you have to go through the storm to once again see the sunshine. Reflect over your journey this far, write down the pros and cons you've experienced. Get started by starting somewhere.

God uses his people in the world to  be His hands, heart, and love. By grace we have been saved for his purpose. There is a lot of sin in the world, and God has given many opportunities for us to repent (meaning to turn away from the sin that is killing us.) Sin leads to death there is no doubt, not physical, but spiritual. Have you ever been in a situation of sin, and you knew it was a sin, but you stayed in it? What did it lead to? Eventually, what is done in the dark comes to the light. At that time, the sin usually doesn't just destroy you, but it destroy others as well, innocent bystanders who was in the dark, but not by choice. 

God uses the lives of his people to help, and to offer hope. You might have a conversation with someone who has no idea what you are doing, but that person brings a word to you out of nowhere. You might ponder on it, but that is God allowing you to think about what you are doing, and repent. We have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, there is no perfect person on the earth.

God takes his people through different situations so they can understand with empathy what a person in sin might be going through. If we have never gone through anything, or been tempted, how could we ever help someone else. God sent Jesus to the earth to die for our sins, so that we would have everlasting life through him. He came to save the world, not condemn the world. His desire is that you should have everlasting life, not everlasting condemnation! So, if you are trying to get out of a sinful situation, it's easy, just ask God for forgiveness, but in order to be forgiven, you have to receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior, there is no other way to get to God. Just ask Jesus to come into your heart, and forgive you of your sin, and He will. 

I pray strength for you today, I pray that whatever you might be going through you will be delivered, there is no reason you should live your life in bondage of captivity!! Be blessed.

Today, I want to talk about the benefits of giving and receiving. In 2 Corinthians 8:12-14, 12 tells us to give whatever is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what one does not have. 13 Our desires should not be to relieve others while we are hard pressed, but that there is equality. 14 If you have plenty right now,  you can supply the need for someone, and in turn, when you are being generous in your abundance, someone will be your supply when you are in need.  

Thought: Sometimes, it's hard to decide if we should help someone or not, but the answer is, "yes,"  if you have something you can help someone in need with, then by all means, help. In doing so, when you are in need, you will have someone to supply you with your need. The time to give is not when you really don't have something to give, you don't want to put yourself in a bad situation while giving to others. God will honor your willingness to help those in need, but he also wants you to be a good steward over what you have. If it's hard at the time for you not to give, make it easy on yourself by saying, " I'm so sorry, I wish I could help you right now, but honestly, I don't have it to give." That's where it ends.  You're compassionate to their need, you  kindly explained why you can't help.
