A Prayer to have Strength to Save Ourselves through Christ [04-08]

Quote (April 8th, 2020): "Sometimes you have to be your own hero."Ecclesiastes 11:4-10 -> Whose who wait for perfect weather will never plant seeds; those who look at every cloud will never harvest crops.... You don't know what God is doing, or how, so do just take action."For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "Plans for Good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope." (Jer. 29:11)Christ has already sent the invitation to be our Hero, we just need to accept and choose to save ourselves. We need to take up our cross and follow him to be our own Heroes for our worldly bodies. Superman doesn't exist, but Christ does. So lets take up our cross and stop waiting for happiness or a perfect life without action.

A Prayer of Encouragement to Keep Pushing Forward [04-06/07]

Quote (April 06/07, 2020): "Push Yourself"Isaiah 53 talks of the coming Messiah's struggles with men but how he overcame the world in the end. God allowed one of his sheep to be led to the slaughter but only to save the many other sheep that God has called and wants in His Kingdom.Isaiah 54 gives us a hope for future Israel. Yes, they have been through a lot at this point but God tells them to continue pushing on because he is their God and in the end they will prevail. We need to push ourselves with absence of the fear of men. God is our God and we need to push ourselves to shape our characters and be the best we can be for his soon coming Kingdom.
