Take it to God in prayer

October 16, 2021

If your are prone to worry and be anxious about things. Here are three verses that can help…

Psalm 55:22 NLT – Give your burdens to the LORD, and he will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip and fall.

1 Peter 5:7 NLT – Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.

Philippians 4:6 NLT – Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.

These three verses show us the importance of giving things to God in prayer. They promise that He cares for us and that He will take care of us. They encourage us to pray about everything.

There is nothing He cannot handle, no matter how small or how big! All problems we face are small in God’s eyes.

Prayer

Lord God, I bring my worries, concerns and burdens to You. I pray You will take them and work them all out according to Your will and purposes. I pray that You will exchange my worries and fears for Your peace. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Invite people to see Jesus

October 15, 2021

John 4:39 NLT – Many Samaritans from the village believed in Jesus because the woman had said, “He told me everything I ever did!”

I really like the story from John 4 where Jesus talks to Samaritan woman. He told her about her life and “everything she had ever done”. Then she went back to her village to invite people to see Jesus. The story goes on to say that many people believed in Jesus because of her invite.

There is great power in the invite. Who can you invite to meet Jesus today?

Are you really there God?

October 9, 2021

One of the best prayers we can pray if we are not sure God exists is…

Dear God, I am not sure if You are really there. Please remove the scales from my eyes, so I can truly see You. Please reveal Yourself to me. Amen

Before long you will see God moving in your life and the lives of those around you. He will reveal Himself to you.

Give it a go. What have you got to lose?

Prepare a testimony

October 6, 2021

When share your faith a testimony can bring the Bible and your faith in Christ to life. I have found that people love hearing stories of how God has done great things for you.

When I share about my testimony I touch on three main areas. These three things really help me to structure my story and how Jesus’ story impacted and changed my life.

My life before Christ – I share things like how I felt, my long term illness, what sort of things I was in to, my upbringing and the sense of emptiness I had inside. These things set the scene.

My conversion – I then share how I came to Jesus. I talk about how I was feeling in the year before coming to Jesus, the people who helped me and the story of Jesus coming to die on the cross for me.

How my life has changed – In this final section I share how knowing Jesus personally has changed my whole life and outlook. I talk about the love, acceptance, hope, joy and purpose I now feel inside.

You can also share things some of the things that God has done for you. I actually have several short testimonies that I share with people depending on the situation.

So why not spend some time preparing a simple testimony. It really helps when someone asks about your faith in Christ.
