“We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.” (Romans 8:26)
Have you ever felt you haven't prayed enough or felt dissatisfied? We struggle to focus, we are distracted, we wrestle with wandering minds and we feel frustrated. This doesn't mean you are failing in some way, it only indicates that there's desire for more. More time spent in His presence, more of Jesus in your life, more of a deeper fellowship with His Spirit. Instead of getting discouraged and giving up, ask the Holy Spirit to help you and guide you into a deeper relationship with God. Then your prayer life will be more fulfilling and even exciting.

O Lord, please grant me the grace to love you above all things, to treasure you, to find all of my identity in you, and to submit all of my hopes and dreams to your wise care. Please help me to renounce everything, even the things I don’t know I cling to. Help me to entrust everything in my life into your wise and loving hands. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.

You're not powerful enough to ruin God's plan for you.
In case you thought you blew it.
In case you thought you were too far gone.
In case you are stuck in fear.
Rest in the fact that God is a God of redemption, and He knows your limitations.
Psalm 103:13-14 reminds us: "As a father shows compassion to his children, so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear Him. For He knows our frame; He remembers that we are dust."
If you're seeking to honor God, you're exactly where you need to be. He sees your heart, your sacrifices, and your obedience. It's not about perfection, but submission. God fulfills His plans through willing hearts.
Please don't think that you messed up the story.
Continue to show up faithfully, and know that God, in His faithfulness, will do His part and direct your path. 🌿

Quiet Time 2/25
What am I feeling today?
There’s no emotion that comes to the forefront of my mind. I just know that I have a lot of work to do since this coming week is midterms. I just need to lock in and get the work done.
Luke 4 NIV
(v. 1-2) “Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, left the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, where for forty days he was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and at the end of them he was hungry.”
Confirmation that he was full of the Holy Spirit but it was also the Spirit that led him into the wilderness. Obviously God knew that Jesus would be tempted upon him being led there, but He allowed it to happen. I think we can apply this to ourselves, He doesn’t give us more than we can handle.
(v. 5-7) “The devil led him up to a high place and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world. And he said to him, “I will give you all their authority and splendor; it has been given to me, and I can give it to anyone I want to. If you worship me, it will all be yours.””
The devil states here that all the authority over the kingdoms of the world has been given to him and that he can give it to anyone he wants to. Now we know in Matthew 28 Jesus states that all authority in Heaven and on earth has been given to him. But when this occurred in the wilderness, that wasn’t the case yet. It’s just interesting to see here the devil claiming his power over the world.
(v. 9-12) “The devil led him to Jerusalem and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down from here. For it is written: “ ‘He will command his angels concerning you to guard you carefully; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’” Jesus answered, “It is said: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’””
Proof that the devil knows the scripture and he probably knows it better than all of us. Also proof that just because you have a head knowledge of what the word of God is doesn’t mean anything if you don’t put it into practice and transform your life around it. Also, just Jesus stating that we’re not to put God to the test which is good advice for all of us.
(v. 41) “Moreover, demons came out of many people, shouting, “You are the Son of God!” But he rebuked them and would not allow them to speak, because they knew he was the Messiah.”
Even the demons knew who Jesus was (again proving that just because you acknowledge Jesus as the Son of God and the Messiah, does not mean you are saved, you must make him your Lord!). Also find it interesting that Jesus didn’t want them saying who he was in the beginning.
(v. 43) “But he said, “I must proclaim the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns also, because that is why I was sent.””
Just Jesus stating that his purpose in being sent here was to proclaim the good news of the kingdom of God. And how grateful we all are for it because otherwise how would we have known?

In prayer it’s better to have a heart without words than words without heart.

Jesus sees us just the way we are. He knows our weaknesses, our failures, our deepest fears. And yet He loves us! What a loving Saviour! What a message of hope to a lost and ever-changing world!
When you start to feel overwhelmed by the changes around you, take heart in the promise that Jesus remains the same through the ages, and that His love for you is everlasting.
Prayer: Dear Jesus, You are our firm foundation, our Rock, and our Fortress. Thank you that you never change! You are our Saviour, our Lord, and our Friend. Amen.
