“Our most powerful prayers are hyperlinked to the promises of God. When you know you are praying the promises of God, you can pray with holy confidence.” (page 93 of The Circle Maker by Mark Batterson.)
Will you pray with me?
When I have doubt that the ministry that I am doing is going anywhere…
None of God’s promises in the Bible ever fail. It’s in the Bible, Joshua 23:14, ESV. “…Not one word has failed of all the good things that the LORD your God promised concerning you. All have come to pass for you; not one of them has failed.”
When I see schools closing the doors to conversation about God…
“But He said, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.” Luke 18:27, NKJV.
When I have doubt that helping students share the gospel at school is working…
“so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty,
but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.” Isaiah 55:11
When my heart wanders…
“I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.” Ezekiel 36:26, NKJV.
When I am stressed and worried…
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.” Galatians 5:22-23, NKJV.
If you search for Me with all your heart, you will find Me. “You shall seek me, and find me, when you shall search for me with all your heart.” Jeremiah 29:13 (WEB). Seek God with all your heart today. A friend told me yesterday that reputable business men often take an hour a day to read and grow themselves in their trade. The principle is the same here. Let’s take some time together and seek God. He is our promise. He is our path. He is our goal. He is our everything. Pray through his Word today.
Peace,
