Let Us Continue in Prayer!
Today’s scripture verses remind us to continue in prayer with thanksgiving and praise, to trust in Him for He will bring it to pass. Satan wants us to stop trusting and give up.
A while ago, I had moved and needed a new job. I was getting concerned because my money was getting low. I just moved into my home, and my new neighbor came over to visit me. As we were talking, she asked me if I needed a job and told me where I could get a job working on a school bus as an aid.
I went down right away to inquire for this job and received it right on the spot! It was on a 20-seat bus with behavior problem children. I loved the job and the children; they were no problem to me because I loved them like Christ, and they knew it; we became instant friends. Children know when they are really loved. I got along very well with the children, other workers, and the school staff, that is how I knew that this job was sent by God. Plus, it paid well, and I had to complete health benefits. Jesus knew what I needed and supplied it all. I was learning daily how to lean on and trust in Him. Sometimes it may take a while and sometimes He answers right away, but He is always there and never leaves us alone. Even on those dark, dreary nights when you think there is no hope- hang on, He is with you. His Word says, “I will never leave you or forsake you. I died for you with an everlasting love.” Thank you, Jesus!
Isaiah 40:31
But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary; they will walk and not be faint.
James 1:12
Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.
Psalm 46:1
God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.
Philippians 4:6-7
6-Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
7-And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
