Romans 8:37 (NKJV) 37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.
There are three things that will keep us sound and on the right path in our walk with God; Prayer, fasting, and spending time in the word of God.
If we invest our time in doing these things, we will care more about the things of God than the things of the world.
When troubles come, we will be prepared for the battle.
Without these three things working in our lives it will make hard times much harder.
We are not saying we won’t feel the pain that comes with hardship if we are praying, fasting, and studying God's word. We will hurt like everyone else hurts.
But a child of God will find comfort in their Father if we keep ourselves close to Him. We will be more than conquerors!
So, what does prayer do for us? Understand that prayer brings God's answer.
Jeremiah 33:3 (NKJV) 3 ‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’
And know that prayer followed by fasting brings deliverance.
Matthew 17:21 (NKJV) 21 However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.”
When we are spending time in His word, we will find wisdom and understanding for our everyday living and the things we may face in life.
Psalm 119:130 (NKJV) 130 The entrance of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple.
Let us not just limp through this life, but let us be more than conquerors through Him, with His strength and might.
Let us not just excel for our own benefit, but that we may be able to offer our help to others.
Amen.
