Acts 3:6 Then Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.”

I wonder what went through this man’s mind when Peter said these words! I wonder what it was like to spend all of your life having to beg because you could not work!

We are so lucky in many parts of the world where we have countries such as the UK who try to look after their citizens and keep them from having to beg for a living.

But even though we may be poor in monetary wealth, we still have the wealth of the gospel and God’s love and grace which we can share with others all the time!

Step forward and be the difference!

Daniel 6:10 Now when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he went home to his upstairs room where the windows opened toward Jerusalem. Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before.

Daniel did not follow the rules of the land in this matter because he knew in his heart it was against everything he had learned about God.

God is never going to support any law from any land which prohibits people praying openly to Him; Daniel continued to pray openly (he continued to leave his window open just as he had always done)

We need to follow this example and the example laid down by the disciples and lift up our prayers to God ever day and always; He will never stop listening!

Psalms 55:17 Evening, morning and noon I cry out in distress, and he hears my voice.

There is nothing new about praying all the time – Daniel was a prime example of someone who refused to give up praying despite it being outlawed.

But many of us only call out to God when things go wrong or when we are under some distress.

We need to change our ways and call out to God at all times, be they good or bad. God is always there, always listening and always ready to be by your side.
