“11 Chronicles 15:7 But you, be strong and do not let your hands be weak, for your work shall be rewarded!”
Every day, my faith grows like the seed of a mustard tree. Although the smallest seed, it will grow like a shade tree planted by the river, flourishing and thriving. It will shade the birds and animals, and for myself and those around me, because God is with us, and His promises remain unchanged. My daily bread is knowing that although I seem to be alone, I am not, because You, GOD, have proven Yourself faithful to me in the darkness; Your light goes before me and surrounds me with Your unfailing love. LORD, I speak these exact words to those reading this and to our loved ones. Bless the work of my hands and the fruit of my lips. Let my work be a blessing to others and bring You glory. Let my roots be deeply rooted in You, LORD. I need You in every way, word, and deed. Lead me away from the temptations of the devil, the flesh, and the world. Lead me in the Way, the Truth, and the Life, who is my Hope and Future; JESUS CHRIST, Your Son.
When the blows of adversity struck my great niece with a severe toothache, and she was denied treatment, my heart was crushed; I couldn’t stop crying for her. It was personal to me, mainly because I suffered from teeth problems, and the pain is incomprehensible. I couldn’t understand why a little child had to suffer such pain because of a lack of finances. But GOD, You remembered her love for you, and this little child was unfazed by the flying darts coming toward her because of her steadfast faith in You; You would protect her, she, a little child, knew GOD’s love and faithfulness would prevail. You provided for her treatment through the hand of another child who gave his allowance for her and a sister in Christ who gave cheerfully; LORD, may Your blessings surround them like a gentle breeze. Dear God, forgive me and heal me from second-guessing; grant me a steadfast spirit, confident in Your unfailing presence with me and my loved ones, in the Powerful Name of Your Son, JESUS CHRIST, amen.
