I will be with you. I will guide you and lead you. And I will make you the man I desire for you to be.

Prayer life
Just attended the mid week service at our church and our pastor said one thing thats stuck in my mind. He said, that we’ll grow weak as our prayer life goes down. It must be our highest priority to never cease to pray.
That’s so true with the type of things that we are facing each day. There are so many traps, trials and temptations that prayer seems to be the only way to regain our strength. Our strength is the joy of the Lord. We get this joy by waiting on the Lord.
Its middle of the week treat for me. Indian curries look soooooooooo tempting. Actually Biryani tastes much better than the curry itself.
Instead of saying…
We’ve never done it before say we have the opportunity to be first.
We don’t have the resources say necessity fuels invention.
There’s not enough time say we’ll change how we work.
We’ve already tried that says we learned from experience.
We don’t have the expertise say let’s network with those who do.
Our vendors and customers won’t go for it say let’s show them opportunities.
We don’t have enough money say maybe there’s something we can cut.
We’re understaffed say we’re a lean hungry team.
It’ll never get any better say we’ll try one more time.
Let somebody else deal with it say I’m ready to learn something new.
It’s not my job say I’ll be glad to take the responsibility.
Instead of saying, I can’t say By God’s grace I can.

Don’t let hurry…bury you
Today, I believe I have learnt an important lesson in life. I woke up this morning as usual…washed my face…got ready to start my day with a quick word of prayer.
That last bit there took a big toll on me. You can forget about everything but be absolutely certain not to forget to spend time with God. The sooner we realize that the better we can defend ourselves against the powerful darts that the enemy throws at us during the day. My dad always mentions this in his messages…that satan comes to steal, kill and destroy. I sort of understand it a bit more now.
Temptations and trials are inevitable part of life. The more closer you walk with God…the stronger the force. But also be sure that it won’t be more than we can handle just as God said. The word of God is quite simple on how to deal with these forces.
You just need to wait on God to renew your strength. Its as simple as that. Its a known fact in spiritual and physical realm that one cannot sustain long without strength to keep him/her going.
YOU MUST SPEND TIME WITH GOD.
There is absolutely no way around it…We must go through it. Take it this way…Start to fall in love with Jesus. In that way… Life becomes a whole lot better and things start to become more sense in this Christian walk.
Just like marriage…you start to work collaboratively and in oneness. After all we are his bride. You will start to do things not because you have to but because you want to. You slowly begin to understand your savior’s nature and what his likes and dislikes are. You start to truly appreciate His work in your life. Trust me…its a wonderful experience.
