Hold On!
|
Posted By: Jackie Moore on April 13, 2009 Remember, to succeed you need to find something to hold on to, something to motivate you, something to inspire you. ~ Tony Dorsett Scripture: And they came to Him and awoke Him, saying, "Master, Master, we are perishing!" Then He arose and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water. And they ceased, and there was a calm. But He said to them, "Where is your faith?" And they were afraid, and marveled, saying to one another, "Who can this be? For He commands even the winds and water, and they obey Him!" Luke 8:24-25 This year has really been a challenge to not only me but to so many of you as well. Some of us have lost jobs, lost loved ones, lost homes and cars. Our faith is challenged almost on a daily basis. It seems as though we are walking in perpetual darkness. There are actually days when there doesn't seem to be any hope for our situations. We haven't found the job that we want. We are forced to move out of a house we have lived in for many years. We miss our mother, our father, our sister, our friend. We have to depend on others to get us around because we don't have a car. We cry at night because the burdens become too heavy for us. We can't tell others about our problems because maybe they won't understand and even if they do, could they or would they even help? Saints of God, Hold on! Our storms won't last forever. It is a part of our journey through this life. Hold On! A change is coming. Hold On! We are on our way to the Other side! HOLD ON! Jesus is on board this ship! HOLD ON! Even the winds and the rains, of our individual storms will obey His will, if we just HOLD ON TO GOD'S UNCHANGING HAND! Be Blessed Prayer: Father God, we come before the throne of grace to praise and uplift Your name once again. We enter into Your courtyard, lifting up our hands in total praise, honor and submission. We surrender our will to You alone. Lord, we humble ourselves before the throne of grace, in reverence to You. Father, thank You for yet another day. Father God, today, right here, right now, I ask that You speak to the storms in the lives of my brothers and sisters. Peace. Be Still. I ask O'Lord, that You would cover them with the wings of Your salvation. I Plead the Blood of Jesus over every saint reading this prayer right now. Father, we come touching and agreeing and on one accord that You would tend to the individual needs of Your saints. Lord, so many are under attack by him who seeks to destroy us. We ask Lord, that You would touch each and every saint as well as each household represented here. Touch, Bless, Anoint, and most of all cover Your saints with the Holy Spirit right here, right now. In the name of Jesus we submit our prayers, Amen. If you enjoyed this article, Join HBCU CONNECT today for similar content and opportunities via email! |
