Being at risk: How to not rely on our own wits to pray through the tough things with our friends and family

A few months ago, one of my friends was really far from God and was struggling.
I thought about, talked about and worried about my friend's struggles a lot! But thinking, talking and worrying is not the same as praying. 
So I decided to do two things for my friend: I mailed her a bible and I ramped up my prayer life. The bible package was not as easy as the prayers though, but both did work, praise God!
But, there were days I felt like God was not hearing my prayers. Have you ever tried praying someone through a messy complicated situation and have not seen answers right away? I know it's hard but, do know with confidence God hears your prayers. Trust that he is working out the difference even when you don't see the difference. And tell fear that it has no place in this conversation with God!

What is on your schedule today: how do you know how to plan your years according to Jesus Christ and his terms and conditions 

There is no insight no plan that can succeed against the Lord. Proverbs 21 It’s in there somewhere. Somehow the writer of Proverbs is speaking to us.  That’s why when you make plans, you need to be careful about what you want to do!  Buying headphones is an example, I buy them every six months.  But that is not the point.  Here’s my point: we can make plans for our days, but whatever plans we do make cannot succeed against the Lord.  Even our president knows this! He is in the word of God! Jesus said don’t judge by merely human appearance and by human rules. Rather, judge by what is in a person’s heart!  Fake news has been around since the garden of Eden, whereas I need to start marking my bible in such a way that when a Jehovah's Witness comes knocking at the door of my soul, I am prepared to tell them the Real Truth behind the good news of the true gospel of Jesus Christ! So, please pray for me that I have my bible marked in the fashion. So true.  So, like I said, be careful abou

Don't rush me!! Wait for me Jesus...

What does not rushing look like? It starts with a desperate prayer: Lord, unrush me! You know, Jesus did not rush. He went out of his way to talk to the woman at the well and to reach out his hand to the leper. He stayed prioritized by loving on people and made time for them. You know, if your feeling rushed, remember that the Savior of the world did not rush so neither should you. For more, visit: proverbs31.org . Blessings!

Women and busyness: How as women of God we are called to read and study His Word

Being busy can take a lot out of you. But, if you're like me, you're often reading the word: being busy doing that. https://www.shewrites.com/blog/view/2841162/ministering-to-women-while-being-busy-in-the-word Reading the bible is tough for most people. Even for me. But, I find that if I pray before I read, I have a greater understanding of God's word. If you have not already, go to a local book store and buy one. Start by reading ten minutes a day. If you find that ten minutes isn't enough to satisfy your spiritual hunger, try ten minutes in the morning and ten minutes in the evening. You may need several ten minute feedings throughout the day. On top of that, there are a lot of websites that are free bible study sites: www.biblestudytools.com , www.biblegateway.com  and www.biblehub.com . So, what are you waiting for? Get a bible, go Online, and start to study God's word! Blessings!
