Waiting on God is hard. But I have learned that it is wise to wait for God’s timing. I have also learned that God’s word is truly trustworthy. God does not break his promises. God can’t break his word. Because he is God. When God made his promise to Abraham, he backed it to the hilt, putting his own reputation on the line. He said, “I promise that I’ll bless you with everything I have—bless and bless and bless!” Abraham…
If you feel your life is too full, too chaotic, too messy to find time to pray. Think again. You can not get anything meaningful done before praying. Actually you can simplify your life with prayer. When we leave our burdens to God we can get on with our life. Prayer will intensify our joy of living. If you feel you have too many things to pray about that there is no point to even start praying because it’s all…
The demands of everyday life are great. Sometimes I do wonder how we all manage to get by with all the things we are asked to do. Juggling seems to be the style of living for many of us.

Do you feel small and helpless when you think of wars, nuclear catastrophes, terrorism, economic situation, and the future? In the middle of turmoils we need to be reminded that God has not forgotten us! Fear not! God has good news for us: ‘You’re my servant, serving on my side. I’ve picked you.
