  • Praying for Complicated Relationships

    Over the years we all have a few complicated relationships. Fault aside…it just happens. Sometimes these are in business or with family or friends. Many times we come to an impasse and cannot move forward with that person and it’s a difficult dilemma to be in.

    Most of us want people to like us. Most of us do not want to burn bridges. Most of us want peace in relationships. Sometimes though it’s just not possible and we have to disconnect from that person or they do from us. Sometimes it’s the only way.

    These hardships can hurt and cut deeply. If it’s not a break-up it can feel like a break-up. If we lose a customer it can sting. If someone isn’t healthy for us or is a bad influence and we know we have to move-on well it may be the right thing to do…but it’s tough and it’s painful.

    I’ve found in business, friendships, and family that whenever there is an issue that we cannot work out, even through prayer, we still need to Pray … Pray for that person, Pray for the specific situation, Pray for ourselves and how to handle it all. When we find a compromise or agreement cannot be met and we have to agree to disagree well then we still should Pray for it all…Pray for each other.

    Sometimes God see’s what we do not in a relationship and in His bigger picture He’s protecting us and them so we have to trust His process. If we’ve prayed and listened to God before, during and after the situation then we should trust to keep things peaceful and move on peacefully or stay near each other peacefully.

    Personally I’ve found a peace in those painful circumstances when I continue to Pray for that person and myself. I Pray that everything goes according to God’s Will and we all are blessed, protected and safe.

    Don’t stop Praying for relationships.

  • I Will Pray With My Spirit

    “I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my mind; I will sing with my spirit, but I will also sing with my mind.”

    – I Corinthians 14:15
  • Prayer is our Go-To

    As Christians our go-to should be Prayer. When things get tuff…we should Pray. When someone is sick…Pray. When things are going good…we should Pray even more.

    Whether in our personal lives, business, health, community, Church, missions, school, or whatever we do…in ALL things we should Pray.

    I believe Prayer is the single most powerful tool we have as a Believer. God gave us access to Him, a direct line, allows us to have private conversations with Him anytime 24/7, 365 to stay connected with Him.

    We are blessed to be able to have such a personal relationship with the almighty God that anytime we want to we can talk to Him.

    In Prayer we can give thanks, ask for help, cry, scream, laugh, discuss business strategies or seek direction according to His Will not ours. We are fortunate to have such a lifeline in God that he is at our side and in our hearts all the time.

    Thank you God for giving us Prayer.
  • He said I didn’t find God, God found me.

    An older friend of mine got Baptized the other day and sent me his baptism video. In the video he said I didn’t find God, God found me. It was a beautiful baptism for a wonderful guy who had a rough past but God found him and is using him to help others. Prayers answered.

    Love you man and proud of your baptism and changes for the better. You are a wonderful asset to many and loved by us all.

  • Rejoice, Pray, Give Thanks

    “Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”

    – 1 Thessalonians 5 : 16-18

  • Where your treasure is, there your heart will be

    Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. These words invite us to examine not just what we say we value, but what truly holds our attention and devotion.

    We live in a world that constantly encourages us to gather more—more possessions, more recognition, more security. It is easy to let our hearts become attached to things that are temporary. Yet the condition of our hearts can be measured by what we pursue most earnestly and protect most carefully.

    Treasure is not limited to money or material wealth. Treasure includes our time, our energy, our thoughts, and our affections. Whatever we consistently invest in becomes the place where our hearts settle. If we invest primarily in earthly gain, our hearts will be tied to outcomes that can shift and disappear. But if we invest in what honors God—acts of compassion, generosity, obedience, and sharing the hope of Christ—our hearts become anchored in eternity.

    Our real wealth is not what we accumulate, but what we dedicate to God’s purposes. Every opportunity to do good, to encourage someone, to speak truth in love, and to reflect Christ becomes eternal treasure. These investments never diminish. They endure.

    The challenge is not whether we possess treasure, but whether our treasure aligns with eternal priorities. When we intentionally lay up treasure in heaven, our hearts follow—and in doing so, we discover a deeper peace and lasting joy.

    “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” – Luke 12:34

    – From Pastor Willis J. Ferrell of (The Redemption Center Church) Danville, Virginia

  • Pray for those who mistreat you.

    “Bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.”

  • God hear our Prayers

    “Now, our God, hear the prayers and petitions of your servant. For your sake, O Lord, look with favor on your desolate sanctuary. Give ear, O God…We do not make requests of you because we are righteous, but because of your great mercy.”

    — Daniel 9:17-18
  • Trust that God is our Refuge!

    Psalm 62:8

    “Trust in HIM at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to HIM, for God is our refuge.”
  • Scripture saying to Humble Ourselves & Pray

    “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”

    2 Chronicles 7:14
