Every day in the God's Word

 EVERYDAY IN THE WORD!

FRIDAY JANUARY 16, 2026.

SUBJECT : WHY PRAY?

Memory verse: "If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land." (Second Chronicles 7 vs 14.)"

READ: Psalm 5 vs 1 - 3: 

5:1: Give ear to my words, O Lord, consider my meditation.

5:2: Give heed to the voice of my cry, my King and my God, for to You I will pray.

5:3: My voice You shall Hear in the morning, O Lord, in the morning I will direct it to You, and I will look up.

INTIMATION:

Prayer is to speak reverently to God in order to sincerely express thanks, praise, or make a request. Therefore, to pray is to express one’s desires; praise or appeal to God in words or thought. Prayer brings us closer to God; it not only establishes a relationship with God, it is vital to maintaining our relationship with Him. It helps us in recognizing who God is and offering Him glory, honor, and adoration. The secret of a close relationship with God is built on the altar of prayer. It is essential to start each morning with prayer, when our minds are more free from the usual daily hustles and bustles, and commit the whole day to God. 

Regular communication helps any friendship, and it is certainly necessary for a strong relationship with God. This is evidenced in the life of Jesus. He constantly went before God in prayer to determine God’s Will and direction, resist temptation, ask for courage, discover what His Father in heaven would do, offer thanksgiving, pray for others, etc. Matthew 26 vs 36 - 39 and Mark 14 vs 34 - 41 describe Jesus being very distressed about His crucifixion. He brings this matter to His Father, seeking His Will.

Prayer is one of the greatest opportunities given to man by God. It is one of the greatest privileges and ministries available to all Christians. It brings us in communion with God, and our humbly being in the presence of God at all times is the secret to continual triumph of the believer, hence the reason to pray without ceasing. Indeed, everyone who seeks to take his or her place in the Kingdom of God should seek or learn how to pray effectively. Jesus Christ never taught His disciples how to preach, but rather taught them how to pray. (Matthew 6 vs 9 - 13.) Jesus Christ told the disciples "WHEN YOU PRAY" and not "IF YOU PRAY" therefore, the onus is on us to pray. 

Jesus is a prime example of a life lived by prayer that offers relevance, purpose, answers, and above all, a relationship with God the Father. Jesus prayed wholeheartedly for every move He made, asking God for guidance, leading, and direction. He prayed prayers of thanksgiving, prayers for healing, prayers for His disciples, and prayers for believers—present and future.

Apostle Paul, in First Thessalonians 5 vs 17, advises the believers thus, "Pray without ceasing." For him, prayer is the ultimate lifeline for the believer to God. This attitude of praying at all times is built upon acknowledging our dependence on God, realizing His presence within us, and determining to obey Him fully. We cannot spend all our times on our knees, but it is possible to have a prayerful attitude at all times. And we will find it natural to pray frequent, spontaneous, and short prayers. Short prayer attitude is not a substitute to regular times of prayer, but should be an outgrowth of it. In Philippians 4:6, Paul tells believers to pray for everything with thanksgiving.

Prayer is the platform of seeking direction from God. In Matthew 7 vs 7 - 11, Jesus talks about asking, seeking, and knocking, “For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks finds. And the door is opened to everyone who knocks.” Jesus encourages us to ask God for things. “If you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask him?”

Prayer is to be offered in the Name of Jesus (John 14 vs 13), that is, the prayer must accord with His character, and must be presented in the same spirit of dependence and submission that marked His pattern (Matthew 11 vs 26; 26 vs 39, 42; Luke 22 vs 42).

Faith is essential to prayer (Matthew 21 vs 22; Mark 11 vs 24; James 1 vs 5 - 8), for faith is the recognition of, and committal of ourselves and our matters to the faithfulness of God. Sometimes you think that God will not hear you because you have fallen short of His high standards for holy living, but if you have faith, and have trusted Him for salvation, you should know that God has forgiven us and He will listen to us. 

Some other times you grow tired of praying because it seems God is not answering you, but a Christian's persistence in prayer is an expression of faith that God answers prayer. Faith shouldn't die if the answers come slowly, for delay is not denial, and may be God's way of working His Will. Always be confident, and know that God is present, always listening, and always answers in ways that He know are best for us.

Prayer: Abba Father, endue me with spirit of supplication, and total dependence and trust in You. I am persuaded that in Your lovingkindness You will liberally give me if I ask. For without You I can do nothing. Give me the grace to come to You in all things, and at all times, in Jesus Name I have prayed. Amen.

PRAISE THE LORD!

WHAT ARE YOU SERVICING?

Date: Friday, January 16th, 2026 

Title: WHAT ARE YOU SERVICING?

John 15:4, Isaiah 53:5

You must service your relationship with Jesus if you want to stay in vital union with Him. When you gather with other believers to fellowship, what you are servicing is a relationship. Relationship gives birth to fellowship and the fellowship you activate strengthens the relationship. When you do not get into fellowship, the relationship will begin to die in your experience. That is why some people are closer to their friends than to their own siblings. It is not because blood has changed, it is because of the lack of interaction and failure to service that family relationship. Fellowship is the servicing of a relationship. A deliberate, intelligent fellowship with Jesus will lead to vital union. The Lord wants you to bring this understanding into your walk with Him. When you are not in vital union with Him, He will not be real to you and Christianity will look dry and hard.Relationships carry different weight in our lives because of what we are servicing. You can service a problem to the point where it becomes more real to you than the power of God. A person can have a medical condition that he is servicing by fellowshipping with the doctors report until it becomes stronger in his mind than the word of God that says with His stripes we are healed. Some service their relationship with a human being more than their relationship with God. A man can be closer to his wife than to the Lord, or closer to his pastor than to the Great Shepherd. Your pastor is supposed to be a signpost pointing you to Jesus, not a replacement for Him. It is possible to have a relationship with human beings that is more real than your relationship with God and that is a very dangerous place to live from in these days.So I want to ask you today as you go on in 2026, what exactly are you servicing? What gets your meditation, your time, your excitement and your repeated attention. If you give deliberate, intelligent fellowship to fear, fear will become a vital union in your life. If you service anger, lust, worry or offence, they will grow roots around your heart. But if you choose to service your relationship with the Holy Spirit, His presence will become more real to you than any other thing. Make a decision to change what you are fellowshipping with. Replace endless worry and complaining with speaking the word. Replace idle talk with worship. Replace long hours of mindless entertainment with quality time in the scriptures and in prayer. Choose gatherings that stir your spirit, not the ones that drain it. As you service your relationship with Jesus consistently, you will find that His voice becomes clearer, His leading becomes surer and His life flows through you in fruits that glorify the Father.THOUGHT TO PONDER: What have you been unconsciously servicing with your thoughts, conversations and daily routines and how has it been shaping your inner life. What practical changes will you make from today so that your most serviced relationship becomes your relationship with Jesus and the Holy Spirit.

Prayer: Lord Jesus, help me to stop servicing my problems and distractions and to start servicing my walk with You until You become the most real person in my life. Amen.

Every day in the God's Word

 EVERYDAY IN THE WORD!

THURSDAY JANUARY 15, 2026.

SUBJECT: THE GIFT OF SPEAKING IN TONGUE! 

Memory verse: "For he who speaks in tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries." (First Corinthians 14 vs 2.)

READ: First Corinthians 14 vs 2 - 5:

14:2: For he who speaks in an unknown tongue does not speak to men, but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries.

14:3: But he who prophesies speaks edification, and exhortation, and comfort to men. 

14:4: He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself; but he who prophesies edifies the church.

14:5: I wish you all spoke with tongues, but even more that prophesied: for he who prophesies is greater than he who speaks with tongues, unless indeed he interprets, that the church may receive edification.

INTIMATION:

Speaking in tongue is a special prayer language, and a legitimate gift of the Holy Spirit. It is a heavenly language unknown to anyone, and considered as language of angels. The gift of speaking in tongues that continues throughout church history and is so widespread today is the Spirit-prompted ability to pray and praise God in a heavenly dialect, possibly even an angelic language that is not related to anything spoken on earth such as English or French or German or Latin. 

The Holy Spirit personally crafts or creates a special and unique language that enables a Christian to speak to God in prayer, praise, and thanksgiving. This gift is not a human language that one might encounter in some foreign country, but a Spirit-empowered capacity to speak meaningful words that are only understood by our Triune God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God can also provide the interpretation through the one speaking or through another believer. 

It is noteworthy that speaking in tongues is not a sign of spiritual superiority nor the invariable sign of Spirit-baptism or Spirit-filling. There are numerous instances in Acts of true conversion and Spirit-baptism where no tongues are mentioned. No one should put down those Christians who do not speak in tongues. The apostle Paul made several points about speaking in tongues: (1) It is a spiritual gift from God; (2) it is a desirable gift even though it isn’t a requirement of faith; (3) it is less important than prophecy and teaching. Speaking in tongues primarily benefits the speaker. 

The exercise of the gift demands some guidelines so that the purpose of the gift—to help the body of Christ—is not lost. Those who speak in tongues should follow the guidelines. Those who do not speak in tongues ought not seek the gift as a sign of salvation or for special closeness with God, for it is neither. It is a gift of God, given only to whomever God chooses. If a person has not experienced the gift of tongues, he or she ought not seek it but seek what gifts God has given.

The gift of speaking in tongues is of no value to the congregation as a whole, only to the person who speaks to God in the unknown language. But if the person also has the gift of interpretation, the tongue could be used in public worship if the one praying (or someone else with the gift of interpretation) would then interpret what has been said. This way the entire church or congregation would be edified by the gift. 

The apostle Paul says that the one who speaks in a tongue “speaks not to men but to God” (First Corinthians 14 vs 2). This means that tongues is a form of prayer: “For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.” (First Corinthians 14 vs 14.) 

Tongues is also a form of praise: “What is the conclusion then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will also pray with the understanding also. I will sing with the spirit, and I will also sing with the understanding.” (First Corinthians 14 vs 15.) 

It is also a way in which we give thanks to God: “Otherwise, if you bless with the spirit, how will he who occupies the room of the uninformed say “Amen” at your giving of thanks, since he does not understand what you say? For you indeed give thanks well, but the other is not edified.” (First Corinthians 14 vs 16 - 17.) 

Tongues is also a way in which we edify or strengthen ourselves: “He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church.” (First Corinthians 14 vs 4.) It is noteworthy that self-edification is a good thing, as we are commanded in Scripture to edify ourselves: “But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,” (Jude 20.) Self-edification is only bad if it is done as an end in itself. It is good to take whatever steps you can to edify yourself, to build up and strengthen your soul, so that you might be better able and equipped to build up others (see First Corinthians 12 vs 7). 

The self-oriented use of the gift of tongues by believers must be carefully practiced in order not to pursue self-development at the expense of broken, lost people. When we give too much attention to our own needs, ideas, and spiritual expression, we may push aside the Spirit’s true desire and abandon those who need encouragement. 

Spiritual gifts are beneficial only when they are properly used to help everyone in the church. We should not exercise them only to make ourselves feel good. No matter what gift(s) a person has, all spiritual gifts are distributed by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit decides which gift each believer should have. We are responsible to use and sharpen our gifts, but we can take no credit for what God has freely given us.

Prayer: Abba Father, thank You for Your manifold spiritual gifts in the body of Christ. I crave for the gift of speaking in tongues that can enable me communicate with You directly; praying, praising, and giving You thanks, and edify myself; building myself up in the most holy faith, in Jesus’ Name I have prayed. Amen.

PRAISE THE LORD!

RUNNING YOUR OWN DIVINE PROGRAMME

Date: Thursday, January 15th, 2026 

Title: RUNNING YOUR OWN DIVINE PROGRAMME

Romans 8:19, Hebrews 6:12

The whole creation is waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God. That means creation is not just waiting for Christians in general, it is waiting for you in particular to show up in the programme God wrote for your life. One of the ways many believers weaken that manifestation is by comparison. God is investing in you because of the future He planned for you, not because of what your friends are doing. Just because you share a house and even a bed with someone does not mean you did the same things overnight. You do not know what they read, what they prayed, what they watched or what they discussed while you slept. In the same way, you do not know what God has in mind for them and what He has in mind for you.The Bible says we should be followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises. You follow faith and patience, not fashion and pressure. There is a difference between learning principles from those ahead of you and trying to copy people whose journey is completely different from yours. Some Christians are carrying visions that will touch nations, yet they want to live like people who are only planning to survive in one street. God knows what you are carrying, so He begins to put you through a stricter programme. While some people can sleep all night, the Holy Spirit is waking you to pray because of the battles He wants you to win ahead of time. You are meant to be a guide for someone’s future, but you will delay that person’s destiny if you keep postponing your own growth. Personal commitment is required to bear much fruit.So as you move further into 2026, stop complaining that your life is tighter than your friend’s life. Instead of murmuring, ask the Holy Spirit, Lord, what are You preparing me for that is making You demand this level of discipline. Stop trying to escape from every training that stretches you. Stay with the reading schedule He gave you, the prayer time He instructed, the service He planted you in, the financial discipline He is teaching you. Do not abandon your divine programme because a friend without any future plan seems to be enjoying more freedom. That freedom is very expensive; it is being paid for with their tomorrow. Decide that you will not manifest partially. You will press with God until everything He has put inside you comes into the open, in character, in calling, in capacity and in impact. That is how your life will answer the groaning of creation and bring glory to the Father.THOUGHT TO PONDER: In what areas have you been comparing yourself to friends instead of submitting to the specific programme God is running for your life? What concrete steps will you take this year to embrace His disciplines and follow those who through faith and patience inherit the promises?

Prayer: Father, deliver me from unhealthy comparison and help me to stay with the programme You designed for me until my full manifestation appears. Amen.

Every day in the God's Word

 EVERYDAY IN THE WORD!

WEDNESDAY JANUARY 14, 2026.

SUBJECT: CREATED IN CHRIST JESUS FOR GOOD WORKS! 

Memory verse: "Who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify to Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. (Titus 2 vs 14.)

READ: Ephesians 2 vs 4 - 10: 

2:4: But God, who is rich in mercy, because for His great love with which He loved us,

2:5: even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ, (by grace you have been saved;)

2:6: and raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 

2:7: that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

2:8: For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 

2:9: not of works, lest anyone should boast.

2:10: For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

INTIMATION:

We are saved and became Christ followers through God’s unmerited grace, not as the result of any effort, ability, intelligent choice, or act of service on our part. However, out of gratitude for this free gift of salvation, we will seek to do good works; helping and serving others with kindness, love, and gentleness. While no action or work we do can help us obtain salvation, God’s intention is that our salvation will result in acts of service and good works. We have been created anew in Christ by obedience to the gospel. We have been so created, not by good works, but for good works. 

The Christ follower owes all that he or she is to God who gave us a reason for transforming our thinking and life (Romans 12 vs 1 - 2). Through the manifestation of God’s grace, Christ followers have been driven by faith to conform their lives to the Will of God. They do good works in thanksgiving to the grace of God (Second Corinthians 4 vs 15). The Christ follower is not saved by works of merit that he or she has devised according to his or her own desires. They are saved for the purpose that God might work through them. Therefore, they do good works in response to what God has done for them. 

It is our works that manifest our response to the grace of God. They are indication of our thankful response to God for His gift of grace. It is noteworthy that final judgement will be based on our deeds because they proclaim what sort of heart is within us. When we realize how far God had to send His Son in order to redeem us from condemnation, we respond with a life of thanksgiving. Our good works, therefore, are works of thanksgiving, not works of merit. We should continue to believe in God in order to maintain good works. Our maintaining of good works manifest our belief in God and appreciation for His grace.

While good works can’t save us or even increase God’s love for us, they are true indications of our faith and love for Christ. Discipleship for Christ followers is not optional, but a requirement. Every believer should be involved in good works. In carrying out good works, Christ followers will develop a solid spiritual foundation of a good character that is fit for eternal dwelling. Good works manifest the goodness of one’s heart. We therefore, judge ourselves by our works, for it is by our works that we manifest our hearts (Second Corinthians 5 vs 10). 

Christ followers are the light of the world, and their light should shine before everyone that when they observe or see their light, which is their good works, they will glorify our Father in heaven. If we live for Christ, we will glow like lights, showing others what Christ is like. Christ followers must behave with integrity among the unbelievers in whose presence they live. They must behave in a way that presents hope to others. In doing this, they influence others for good, and also bring glory to God. If your actions are above reproach, even hostile people will end up praising God. Gracious, godly, and winsome behavior on the part Christ followers could even win some of the unsaved souls to the Lord. 

Prayer: Abba Father, thank You for Your free gift of salvation to me. Give me the grace to represent Christ appropriately in good works, that they will see my good works and glorify You, in Jesus’ Name I have prayed, Amen.

GETTING RID OF WHAT CANNOT FOLLOW YOUR FUTURE

Date: Wednesday, January 14th, 2026 

Title: GETTING RID OF WHAT CANNOT FOLLOW YOUR FUTURE

Psalm 18:29, Genesis 41:1

For by thee I have run through a troop, and by my God have I leaped over a wall. Your future has walls, not just doors. Many people get very close to the season they have been praying for and then discover they are not ready to scale the wall that stands at the edge of their next level. The problem is not that God did not plan a great future, it is that they refused the preparations and disciplines that would have given them the right starting point and momentum. David did not meet Goliath by chance. He had already faced a lion and a bear in the secret place. Those earlier challenges were the programmes of his future. The same Goliath that dethroned Saul was the one that announced David. What you are running away from now may be what God intends to use to train you for the future you are asking for.Your flesh hates the journey into the future. It prefers comfort, shortcuts and imitation. I want to challenge you to become uncomfortable with the things that are keeping you small and begin to press into the full manifestation of your divine purpose. Without a clear programme for your future you will carry things from your present that will sabotage you later. Men say someone fell from grace to grass, but what usually happens is that the grass of wrong habits and secret sins followed them up the ladder and pulled them down at a critical moment. Esau traded his birthright in a moment of hunger because he could not delay gratification. He thought only of his stomach and despised his future. Joseph, when Pharaoh sent for him, shaved himself and changed his clothes before he appeared in the palace. He understood that certain appearances and behaviours belonged to the prison, not to the throne. You must identify the behaviours in your life now that do not belong in your future.God loves you too much to leave you unprepared. He will send men from your future to you, people who understand the rules and philosophies of where you are going. They will talk to you about punctuality, purity, diligence, excellence and sacrifice. Their words may sting your flesh, but they are saving your destiny. You may meet them as pastors, teachers, bosses, books or messages that will not leave your spirit alone. Do not despise them or look for softer voices that will pamper your laziness. At the same time you must commit to go fully through the programmes of your future. You cannot attend a one month Bible school and expect to pastor men for destiny. You cannot pray casually and expect to stand before Goliaths. Personal commitment is required to bear much fruit. God wants you spiritually strong and also sound in character, finances and responsibility. Let this year be the year you allow God to shave off what does not belong to your palace and embrace every training that will make you ready for your own day of manifestation.THOUGHT TO PONDER: What habits, attitudes or relationships in your present season clearly do not belong in the future God has shown you? Which trainings, corrections and disciplines have you been resisting that you now need to embrace so that you can arrive at your future ready and not disqualified?

Prayer: Lord, open my eyes to what cannot follow me into my future and give me grace to drop it and submit to every training that prepares me for full manifestation. Amen.

Every day in the God's Word

 EVERYDAY IN THE WORD!

TUESDAY JANUARY 13, 2026.

SUBJECT: BE HONEST WITH GOD!

: "O LORD, You induced me, and I was persuaded; You are stronger than I, and have prevailed. I am in derision daily; everyone mocks me." (Jeremiah 20 vs 7.)

READ: Job 7 vs 17 - 21:

7:17: “What is man, that You should exalt Him, that You should set Your heart on Him,

7:18: that You should visit him every morning, and test him every moment?

7:19: How long? Will you not look away from me, and let me alone till I swallow my saliva?

7:20: Have I sinned? What have I done to You, O watcher of men? Why have You set me as Your target, so that I am a burden to myself?

7:21: Why then do You not pardon my transgression, and take away my iniquity? For now I will lie down in the dust, and You will seek me diligently, but I will no longer be.”

INTIMATION:

The first building block of a deeper friendship with God is complete honesty about your faults and your feelings. God knows we are imperfect, and is not expecting us to be perfect, but He does insist on complete honesty. The Bible remarks in Psalm 130 vs 3, "If You, Lord, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand?" None of God's friends in the Bible was perfect. If perfection was a requirement for friendship with God, we would never be able to be His friends. Fortunately, because of God's grace, Jesus is still the "friends of sinners." (Matthew 11 vs 19.) 

In the Bible, the known friends of God were honest about their feelings, often complaining, second-guessing, accusing, and arguing with their Creator. God, however, didn't seem to be bothered by this frankness; In fact, He encouraged it. God allowed Abraham to question and challenge Him over the destruction of the city of Sodom. Abraham pestered God over what it would take to spare the city, negotiating God down from fifty righteous people to only ten. If he had continued till one, God would have granted his request because a soul is valued more than the whole world. (Mark 8 vs 36.)

Our God is very patient. God did not slay Jeremiah when he claimed that God had tricked him (Jeremiah 20 vs 7 - 8). God listened patiently to David's many accusations of unfairness, betrayal, and abandonment as enumerated in his Psalms. In the passage we read today, God also listened to Job, and allowed him to vent his bitterness during his ordeal. Job referred to God as a watcher or observer of humanity. He was expressing his feeling that God seemed like an enemy to him—someone who mercilessly watched him squirm in his misery. However, in the end, God defended Job for being honest, and He rebuked Job's friends for being inauthentic. 

God told them, "..My wrath is aroused against you and your two friends, for you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has. Now therefore, take for yourselves seven bulls and seven rams, go to My servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; My servant Job shall pray for you. For I will accept him, lest I deal with you according to your folly; because you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has." (Job 42 vs 7 - 8.) We should know that God is watchful over everything that happens to us. We must never forget that He sees us with compassion, not merely with critical scrutiny. His eyes are eyes of love.

To instruct us in candid honesty God gave us the Book of Psalms—a worship manual, full of ranting, raving, doubts, fears, resentments, and deep passions combined with thanksgiving, praise, and statement of faith. Every possible emotion is catalogued in Psalms. When you read the emotional confessions of David and others, realize this is how God wants you to worship Him; holding back nothing of what you feel. You can pray like David: "I pour out my complaints before Him; I declare before Him my troubles. When my spirit was overwhelmed within me...." (Psalm 142 vs 2 - 3.)

In one startling example of frank friendship in the Scripture (Exodus 33 vs 1 - 17), God honestly expressed His total disgust with Israel's disobedience. He told Moses he would keep His promise to give the Israelites the Promised Land, but He wasn't going one step farther with them in the desert! God was fed up, and He let Moses know exactly how He felt. Moses speaking as a "friend" of God, responded with equal openness: "If Your presence does not go with us, do not bring us up from here. For how then will it be known that Your people and I have found grace in your sight, except You go with us? So we shall be separate, Your people and I, from all the people who are upon the face of the earth." So the Lord said to Moses, "I will also do this thing that you have spoken; for you have found grace in My sight, and I know you by name." (Exodus 33 vs 16 - 17.) 

Moses was bold and candid with God. He felt God gave him a task, and should back Him up appropriately. He was quite frank. This is the honesty that friendship with God desires from us. Can God handle that kind of frank, intense honesty from you? Genuine friendship is built on disclosure. What may appear as audacity God views as authenticity. God listens to the passionate words of His friends; He is bored with predictable, pious cliches. To be God's friend, you must be honest to Him sharing your true feeling, not what you think you ought to feel or say.

It is encouraging to know that all of God's closest friends—Moses, David, Abraham, Job, and others—had bouts with doubts. But instead of masking their misgivings with pious cliches (attitude I call "holier than thou"), they candidly voiced them openly and publicly. Expressing doubt is sometimes the first step toward the next level of intimacy with God.

Prayer: Abba Father, I will lay bare myself before You, for You already know my thoughts before I speak them. Nothing is hidden from You, I pray for grace to come to You all the time in complete honesty and as a true friend, in Jesus’ Name I have prayed, Amen.

PRAISE THE LORD!
