Luke 22:32 But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren.

One of the amazing statements Jesus said that should shake any doubt out of our heads!

Satan wanted to try and make the faith of Peter to no effect by breaking away at the foundations of Peter’s belief, but Jesus prayed for Peter!

If we have a God that is praying for us even when He knows we are about to reject Him – what reason do we have to doubt His love?

Take your doubts and recognise them, but never let them bring your down because you know Christ is praying for your strength!

Psalm 145:14 The Lord upholds all who fall, And raises up all who are bowed down.

One of the best things in life is to be forgiven when you know you have done something wrong against someone else. Just knowing they are willing to put that act behind them and move forward is fantastic!

Christ taught us we need to try and continually forgive one another for the things we do wrong to each other – as hard as that may seem!

When we do fall, Christ is more than willing to forgive us when we come back to Him humbly.

Thank you God daily He blesses you always!

Isaiah 55:6 Seek the Lord while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near.

When is the best time to look for something or someone you have lost? Is it best to look as soon as you know they or it is missing, or to wait a long while?

When someone is close by you can be fairly confident in knowing where they are even if you cannot see them.

When we spend time each day praying to God and reading His word we find it easier to pray and listen; but when we start missing out on prayers and reading we find it more difficult to follow God.

Jesus spent much of His time getting people to be friendly so they could get to know Him better. Spend time every day getting to know God.

Jeremiah 3:1 “They say, ‘If a man divorces his wife, And she goes from him And becomes another man’s, May he return to her again?’ Would not that land be greatly polluted? But you have played the harlot with many lovers; Yet return to Me,” says the Lord.

It is a life of varying degrees of faithfulness which we believe. We tend to set the standards higher for the ones we love.

But as soon as we focus on something else in our lives, a new target has been set and will remain our focus until we turn back to focus on God.

God would prefer it if we were able to stay focused on Him more in our lives than staying focused on the people around us or on earthly treasures.
