3 Daily Essential Prayers
Sometimes, we may be in spiritual darkness, numbness, struggles or fatigue, while other times, everything may seem fine or stagnant. Whether we are on either side of the spectrum, there may be moments where we are unsure of what or how to pray for ourselves. Through this message, let us find out what are the 3 essential things we can pray for each day.
Work Through Your Fear
No one likes to fear, but we can be absorbed by fear. Being fed news and information about the pandemic day and night, it could result in us involuntarily giving in to needless fears. Find out how to live free lives even in the midst of a pandemic.
Love Is Easy?
The reason that we often have struggles in our relationship with people comes from two main areas. The first reason is that we lack in our love for others, and the second is because we do not know how to love. When we do not love enough, we tend to judge from our own perspectives and standards. And when we do not know how to love, we are unable to give words of understanding and assurance. So, how then should we make our love sincere and right with God?
Not Wrong Yet Not Right Either
We are all afraid to do wrong, and we try our very best to avoid doing so. Yet, have we asked what is doing right? Not harming someone doesn’t mean we are blessing him. Not breaking the law doesn’t mean we love. If there is one thing that the pandemic can teach us about, it will be about doing right instead of merely avoiding the wrong.
What If I Enjoy The World More Than God?
In this day and age, people are all seeking ways to find pleasures in an attempt to decompress or escape from their reality for awhile. However, we often go out of control when we start to enjoy our time in the world more than our time spent with God. This will either cause believers to have a sense of guilt and accusation within, or start to fall into deeper temptations. So, how then can we find more joy in being with the Lord, than immersing ourselves in the pleasures of the world?
Are We Getting Too Comfortable With Worldliness?
As Christians living in a sinful world, are you feeling more and more comfortable with the culture, values and happenings that emerge in our world? Or are you sensing more and more tension as you see the increasing godlessness? The devil likes to take us captive little by little. If we do not pay attention to what we are loving or pursuing in our heart, we will be totally entrapped before we realise it. Although it is not easy to live set apart lives in a tempting world, may the good God help us when we seek to please Him sincerely.
Is Vaccine The Way Forward?
It seems that the only hope out of the COVID-19 pandemic is through the vaccine. Yet, is that the best bet? As we put our hopes in God, find out how we can be discerning and think beyond the hopes of a vaccine.
The Blackhole Of Busyness
To handle a busy lifestyle in this current era is no easy feat. But when we hear this and we have a heart to realign our living to restore our relationship with God, the church and our brethren, it is a stepping stone to seeking and discovering ways that God can guide us to better balance our worldly and faith living so that we become more and more one-hearted with Him in all we do.
Are You More Emotionally-Driven Or Principles-Driven?
In your daily lives, do you rely more on your principles or emotions?
We all know that we should not rely on our emotions but many times when we make decisions and react, it all comes from our emotions first. So we need to ask ourselves today: When our circumstances affect us and emotions come, do we have a certain principle to guide us through?
Be An Upright Person Before The Lord
One of the hardest questions we can ask ourselves is: Am I an upright person before the Lord? Am I honest with my every inclinations, desires, motives and choices? Am I clean with integrity? When this happens, we will start to see the greed, the comparisons, the selfishness, the jealousy and the contempt within us. Needless to say, it will cause us to feel uneasy, guilty, vulnerable and shame. How then, do we respond when this happens?
