“If two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in Heaven. For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them“. The grace of God has not only renewed our relationship with Him but also with each other. We not only learn to say,…
“If you abide in me and my words abide in you, ask whatever you will, and it shall be done unto you” – John 15:7 Prayer is not a monologue, but a dialogue and this verse suggests that it begins with us allowing his words to abide in us. Listening to God’s voice is the secret of the assurance that…
“If you abide in me and my words abide in you, ask whatever you will, and it shall be done unto you” – John 15:7 In this verse the promise and its conditions are inseparable. The verse suggests that if we want God to answer all our prayers, we must first abide in him. To abide in him means walking…
What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?- Romans 8:31 In Christ, we are a new creation. We need to let go of our old do-it-yourself life. The best thing to do is to give it a decent burial. We wrestle with our emotions during times of struggle and despair.…

“Awake! Why are you sleeping, O Lord? Rouse yourself! Do not reject us forever!” – Psalms 44:23 Psalms 44 is quite an interesting poem. It is an honest, open and straightforward prayer made by the people of Israel. If it were me, I would never have the guts to talk to God that way, yet, surprisingly, God allowed this Psalm…
“If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.” – James 1:5 God waits for us to come to him. It is so rewarding when after an entire struggle of figuring things out for yourself, you are so tired and can still go back…
