Word of the Day: Tired of praying? Don't give up, the answer will come!
Have you been praying for something for ages? Keep going, don't give up! The Bible warns us that when we do not receive what we are praying for it is sometimes because we do not know how to ask. Sometimes we only use prayer as our last resort, but in the Bible, we are told that we should never stop praying!
16 Rejoice always, 17 pray continually, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
A life built on continually praying would be an incredible life! But it is also a real challenge to us, because all too often our prayers run dry, and we get tired of asking, of going for years without seeing the door opening.
Do not give up praying. Jesus assures us that, although the timing might not be the timing we were expecting, prayers will be answered, doors will be opened, and we will receive the things that we ask for. Jesus wants you to know that if you seek with all your heart, you will receive, you will find.
Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
-- Matthew 7:7
The answer will come!

Word of the Day: God wants to bless your professional life!
God wants to help you sustain yourself and do good work! He has the power to give you a job and help you succeed. God blesses those who strive and give their best. Glorify God in the way you work or seek employment, and He will bless you!
The Lord will send a blessing on your barns and on everything you put your hand to. The Lord your God will bless you in the land he is giving you.
Deuteronomy 28:8
God's blessing is more than just a large salary. Deuteronomy 28:8 speaks of provision and favor in all aspects of our work, promising blessings upon everything we put our hands to. We can be assured that when we approach our work with faith and expectation, God is intimately involved in every detail of our professional lives.
Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.
Proverbs 16:3
God wants to bless us! But we have to recognize that God is the ultimate provider of opportunities and success shifts our perspective. While hard work and dedication are essential, ultimately, it is God who opens doors and grants favor in our careers. Proverbs 16:3 reminds us to commit our work to the Lord, acknowledging His sovereignty over our plans and endeavors.
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.
- Colossians 3:23
More than many things, our attitude and heart are crucial. In Colossians 3:23 Paul is encouraging the church to work wholeheartedly, looking for heavenly, rather than for human approval. This perspective transforms even mundane tasks into acts of worship, elevating the significance of our daily labor.

Word of the Day: simply trust in God
The Israelites were terrified! They were fighting the Philistines, and their army was being led by a giant. Goliath, who was a champion within the ranks of the Philistines, challenged the Israelites to send out their champion to fight him. No one was brave enough to do so, except for one young shepherd boy by the name of David. He was filled with faith in God and volunteered to face Goliath.
Despite being vastly outnumbered and facing a formidable opponent, David approaches Goliath armed only with a sling and five smooth stones. Goliath mocks him, but David declares his trust in God
"David said to the Philistine, “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied."
1 Samuel 17:45
With unwavering trust in God's strength and protection, David slung a stone at Goliath, striking him in the forehead and defeating him. This miraculous victory showcases the power of trusting in God even in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. David's faith and courage inspire us to trust in God's guidance and provision in our own lives, knowing that with God, all things are possible.
Some trust in chariots and some in horses,
but we trust
in the name of the Lord our God.
Psalms 20:7
We live in a material world of cars, money, and beauty, but all of these things must come to an end. Trusting in these things takes us a step further away from God and the life he has in store for us. But those who trust in God have their feet firmly on the Rock. Remember the story Jesus told of the man who built his life upon the rock, that man was ready to face the day-to-day challenges and struggles.
Today is a good day to ask yourself the question: who do I put my trust in? Everything but God will crumble away, but the Word of God will remain forever. Simply trust in the Lord, our God!
