Blessing Message

^“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” ( Philippians 4:6)In this world that we live, we face different hardships, yet we can see the hand of God above all. Yes, He answers to our cries and tears. He is right by our side to listen and to grant our desires. Let us remove every doubt, worry and unbelief from our heart and look up to Him. Bible assures, “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own” (Matthew 6:34).

On a stormy day, have you seen the little bird singing happily and whistling, not bothered about food or shelter?  People may be running helter-skelter in search of a shelter. Even in such a chaotic circumstance, the little bird sings sweetly taking refuge in a small cleft on the hillock. It does not worry for anything.  Are you not precious than these birds? (Matthew 10:31). God will take care of you and your family. Dearly beloved! If that little bird could sing joyfully, you too can find the unfailing refuge in the Lord if you put all your trust on Him. He will be your refuge and will never forsake you. Without understanding this truth, why do you focus only on your inadequacies and lament in despair? “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;   and the peace of God will guard you, bless you and guide you forever” (Philippians 4:6,7). Do not give up your prayers. Look at Daniel. Amidst the big problem that he went through when a decree was passed that none should pray to other gods or man except to the king, he continued seeking God for help and refuge three times a day as was his custom. This we read as, “Now when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he went home to his upstairs room where the windows opened toward Jerusalem. Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before”( Daniel 6:10).What happened then? Did God forget him? No. His life was spared miraculously though he was thrown into the den of lions. What an awesome God we have! Be bold and strong. God answers to your prayers.

Prayer: Dear Father,

Forgive me for making You smaller than my problems.  I am glad that You are in my life as my Saviour and Father. I believe that You care for me to the minute details.  Not a single hair falls down without Your knowledge.  I bring all my problems that are standing before me as lofty mountains.  Give me wisdom, power and strength to hold on to Your promises till they become dust.  Help me not to worry.  I cast out all confusions  and take victory in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
