'Uphold my steps in Your paths, that my footsteps may not slip. I have called upon You, for You will hear me, O God; incline Your ear to me, and hear my speech' (Psalm 17:5,6).

We are in constant need of the Almighty God and must communicate with Him daily, through prayers and through the study of His Word. When we come to God with a open and contrite heart, He hears and respond to our prayers; every agonising cry, every prayer of thanksgiving and praise to Him. He promised to be with us always and to hear us when we call. We can rejoice and be glad that our God is with us every step of the way - in the decisions we made and the actions we take. When you pray to God, you must pray in faith believing that He hears. God loves to hear from you, so trust Him and be in the habit of pleasing Him. David had not only had faith, but faith in the God whom he prayed, and expected to hear and answer his prayers. This is the David that God described as 'a man after His own heart.' It is not because David didn't sin, but because trusted all God said, believed in His word, acknowledged his wrong doing, openly confessed his wrongs to God with a open and contrite heart. He knew that despite what he was going through God is always true to His Word and will hear him. David knew God and God knew him well enough to make that statement about him. When David prayed, he prayed to God from a heart that is an open book, not one of disbelief or unconfessed sin. His prayer was sincere and without pretense, as he called upon God to uphold his steps in His paths that his footsteps may not slip. He knew God would hear and answer him. What is your prayer life like? Are your prayer prayed in faith of  the God whom you believe in? Are you an open book when you go before God, laying yourself bare and without pretense? Like David, your prayers can be effective, if go before God with a contrite and sincere heart. When you trusted in the Word of the true and living God and believed in His faithfulness to deliver, according to His will and purpose. Let us approach the throne of grace in humility of heart knowing God will answer the prayers of His Children.

Have a wonderful day and a blessed weekend 🌹🌹

 'But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you' (Matthew 6:33). The Lord is our Provider and knows all that we are in need of before we even ask. We do not need to worry or fret ourselves about what we shall eat or drink. Our Father in heaven will take care of these things we need. We are told by Jesus, 'To seek first the kingdom of God.' What does that mean? It means we should lean on, and trust in the grace of Jesus Christ. We should repent of our sins and have a desire to turn away from it. We should seek to put God first in our praise to Him, in our worship of Him, to put our total trust in Him and to rely on Him  rather than ourselves or others. We need to seek Him first in our reassurance and acknowledging who He is and what He can do. We also need to seek God's righteousness by  loving our neighbors and feeding the poor and destitute, seek justice for the vulnerable. We should put God's plan and

 'I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you' (John 14:18). Jesus is awesome and full of compassion. He loved his disciples and wanted them to understand about His death and resurrection; that He would be going away for a while. He knew they would be confused and devastated, so he hastened to comfort them. He said, 'Let not your heart be troubled: Ye believe in God, believe also in me...I go to prepare a place for you...I will come again and receive you unto myself, that where I am there ye may be also' (John 14:1-3). He also promised another Comforter, that he can abide with them forever. What a merciful and loving Saviour! He went further to say he would not leave them comfortless; but will come to them. He was like a father to them, as He and the Father are one. Therefore, He promised not to leave them fatherless, or as an orphan. But will come to them. Speaking of His death and resurrection He said that in a little while the world would not see him no more

 'In your patience possess ye your souls' (Luke 21:19). In the last days we will suffer afflictions, persecutions and be reproach of men. We will be betrayed even by our own families and friends, as they hand us over to our persecutors to save themselves.  God is saying to us, that we should be patient as we bear these burdens and afflictions, by possessing peace and joy in our souls which no one  cannot take away. Our hope and life is in Christ Jesus, and when we hold steadfast unto him, allowing the Holy Spirit to dwell in us and work through us; we will let nothing disturb our peace  or distress our soul. In isolation, it may seem daunting and a difficult task to be joyful and enjoy ourselves in such dire circumstances. However, when Christ is in us the Holy Spirit will empower us and give us the endurance and perseverance to enjoy our souls. The Word of God said, "...we shall be hated of all men for my name's sake; but he that endureth to the end shall be saved&quo
