When you have a problem and you decide to pray to God about it, you need to keep your eyes on him not your problem. The problem will be resolved, but it will be more difficult if you focus on the problem and not on the solution. 2 Chronicles 20:12 says “Our eyes are upon thee.” This means your eyes need to be on God not your problem.

Stay focused on God and he will solve your problem and you will be able to move on. Pray for the solution and then thank God for it each time you think about it. Don’t let the devil try to get in and try to convince you that you are not getting anywhere with God. He comes but for one thing and that’s to kill, steal, and destroy. Don’t let him win. Focus on God and you will win!

Journaling when you pray is something that very few people do. They either don’t see the need, they don’t know they should, or they don’t have the time. Journaling is something that can come in handy when you are doing your Bible study each day or week. You can reflect on the activities you have done for the week and what you have asked God for.

We should pray on a regular basis. Even if it’s just a prayer thanking God for a wonderful day and to release the angels around your family and friends to make their way safe in whatever they have planned for that day. You may think you are going to have a perfect day and when you pray first thing in the morning, you will have a great day.

So set that alarm for ten or fifteen minutes earlier than normal or don’t hit the snooze but so many times. Start your day off with prayer and have a wonderful day.

We all go through tough situations. Whether it is an illness, a death, or financial problems, we have all gone through them. For whatever reason, we have to go through these things. Most times these are attacks from the devil, but going through them and getting through them is the hard part. Telling the devil to go away and move on is hard for most people.

Jeremiah 33:11 says “…Give praise and thanks to the Lord of hosts, for the Lord is good; for His mercy and kindness and steadfast love endure forever! For I will cause the captivity of the land to be reversed and return to be as it was at first, says the Lord”.

As hard as it may be to be thankful and happy when all of these bad things are going on, you need to. You need to thank God everyday for the good things and that he is helping you stand strong and faithful during your difficult times. You need to listen to him and follow what he says as well.

Standing strong and continuing to stand on your faith can be difficult during hard times. Continue to pray for the courage and strength and God will show you the way and what you need to do. Just remember, God is on your side and he is there to help you every step of the way.

When you do this you will be the winner in your situation and in your life.

My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. James 1:2-4 (KJV)

Rejoice evermore. 1 Thessalonians 5:16 (KJV)

This verse is true in so many ways. When you are feeling down because of the weather or a situation in your life, remember that God is there for you and he will always be there. Lift your problems to him and then be glad and rejoice. God will take care of you and any situation you are in. No matter what it is or what others say about it.

When you walk in God’s footsteps, you will be led in the direction you are to go, so don’t get discouraged or down because the light is at the end of the tunnel and God has a plan. So, do as my Grandma always says. “Keep on the sunny side”!
