Stop Asking God That

Stop asking God to take you off of a job that you begged him for, and now you hate it. Have you ever thought that you were asking God to take your paycheck away? Did you ever think that when you prayed this type of prayer that you were asking God to place you into poverty? Do you see now, why God hasn’t answered your prayer? Instead of wanting to leave the job, ask God to let you be a witness on the job. You can be a witness that God will keep you through foolishness, people lying on you, and bosses hating on you. How else is God going to prepare a table before you in the presence of your enemies if you keep running from them. By staying on that job, you’re letting them know that God can and will deliver you without taking you out of the situation. Lastly, pray for everyone on that job. Pray that God blesses them and protects them. Pray that God keeps them from all hurt, harm, and danger. Pray that they come to know the same God you know. Just don’t pray; Lord take my job away.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

I Don’t Need This

Have someone ever made you so mad and before you knew it, you said; I don’t need this? I don’t need this job. I don’t need this drama, and I really don’t need you. As soon as the words came out of your mouth, you realized that in your anger you just messed up real bad. It was too late to take it back. As a result, you lost your job, your friends and your relationship. Yes, it hurts but God always has a way for you to recover. You see, it’s not always the enemy that takes from us. Sometimes, we are our own worst enemy and we freely give our stuff away.

You know, if you were thinking clearly you would never say I don’t need this job. As hard as it is to find a good person to share your life with, you would never be so quick to say; I don’t need you. You cannot allow anger to get the best of you. What if God said; I don’t need this. I already live with the Father in heaven. I don’t need this. These people don’t do nothing but lie, steal, cheat, curse, fornicate, commit adultery, etc… I don’t need this. These people only want material things, they don’t want anything spiritual. But, instead, Jesus said, we needed this. We needed for him to die for our sins. We needed for him to forgive us for the same thing over and over again. We needed for him to love us when we couldn’t and didn’t love ourselves. 

The next time you feel like you don’t need this. Keep it to yourself, don’t throw away your blessings, and take it to the Lord in prayer.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Pray For Me

When people ask you to pray for them, do you really pray for them? Do you tell them, I’ll pray for you and keep it moving? Do you have good intentions on praying for them but get side tracked in the process and forget?

Now when people ask me to pray for them, I stop what I’m doing and pray for them right then and there. It doesn’t matter where we are at. We can be at work, the grocery store, out to dinner, etc… I use to tell people I’d pray for them, then I would forget. I would become busy with doing something else or focussing on my kids. I just find it better to touch and agree with them right there. We all need prayer and the mere fact someone has trusted us enough to come to us and ask for prayer, should make us stop and take a minute to pray. We just don’t know that our prayers may have helped them make it just one more day. Our prayers may have stopped them from committing suicide or homicide. Our prayers may have made them say; I’ll run on to see what the ends going to be. 

Make sure you’re never to busy to stop and pray when someone asks. It might just save their life.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Pay Attention

How many of us get so comfortable with everyday life that we stop paying attention.

I’m away on a business trip and as I was walking back to my car I hit the unlock button on the key chain and the car door unlocked. When I got in the car it was not my car. My car was parked right next to it.

I quickly got out of the wrong car and began to thank God because someone could have thought I was trying to steal their car. God quickly spoke, pay attention. Nothing is that important that you can’t watch what you’re doing or where you’re going. See I was trying to dial my co-workers number to see where we were meeting up for dinner.

Let’s all do a better job of paying attention and be safe.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

What Do You Do

What do you do when life throws you a curve ball and the situation is so bad that you can’t even pray?

What do you do when the child you’ve raised won’t talk to you or you get a phone call saying their dead?

What do you do when you continue to get passed over for promotion and you know you’re qualified?

What do you do when reading the word, going to church, and hanging around Christians make you sick?

You lean on God and trust in God as if your very life depended on it because in actuality it does. Life has a way of letting us know just how fragile and vulnerable we are. It can rip the very core of our faith and yes it can happen to the best of us.

So today, let’s purpose in our hearts and minds that we will cast all of our cares on The Lord, no matter how small or big.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.
