A Prayer When It's Hard to Be Still

Being still when our surroundings feel like chaos can be so hard, right? Here’s a quick reminder and prayer that you might stop in midst of all of it and experience the refuge, strength and peace that comes when we remember that He is God (& we are not 😉)

Faith Like This…

Can you imagine “amazing” Jesus? 👉🏽That’s what a Roman officer did!

He wasn’t even a Jew. He wasn’t raised in the faith. He didn’t know the Torah & yet he probably heard rumors of this carpenter who could

🙌🏽 heal heal lepers,

🙌🏽 make the blind see

🙌🏽 and the deaf hear!

So when the officer pleads with Jesus to heal his servant, & Jesus agrees to come to his home, the man confesses this:

“I’m not worthy to have you in my home.

Just SAY THE WORD FROM WHERE YOU ARE and my servant WILL BE HEALED…”

When Jesus hears this, He is amazed!

Turning to those who are following him, Jesus declares , “I tell you the truth. I haven’t seen faith like this in all of Israel!”

I don’t know what you are facing today that seems impossible, but I am praying that as you read this, you would be encouraged to have FAITH LIKE THIS!

Jesus is the same yesterday today & forever!

He longs to be your Healer

Redeemer

Reconciler

Provider

Shepherd

Rock

Manna for today…

You name it & He is the Source of anything & everything you will ever need.

Just call on His name, confess like the Roman officer that you are not worthy of His grace, but that you desperately need Him to be your Savior!

Invite Him to reside inside & “say the Word” as He leads you as Lord, watching with great expectation how a “faith like this” will move mountains in your life!

God's POV When Hard Things Happen

Speaking from experience…sometimes God allows hard things to happen for the sake of many good things - it gets us out of our boat, it leads us to new lands & reminds us of our desperate need of a Rescuer, Redeemer, Savior & Lord! 💞

He loves us enough to let the difficult things in life shape us into His image, growing our faith & stretching our ability to trust His Way SO THAT we can experience that it is indeed a HIGHway worth following!💯
