Greetings Prayer Warriors,
The Lord has ways to encourage and coax us along in life, as we can easily dwell in discouragement and become complacent and pessimistic. But God has promised us the sweet life with Him in heaven, if only we persevere.
So as you watch prices skyrocket and the economy shake, scratch your head and wonder what ever happened to common sense, perhaps it’s time to take inventory of what you and your family need versus what you want, and evaluate the state of your spiritual life..
Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and decay destroy, and thieves break in and steal. But store up treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor decay destroys, nor thieves break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be. Matthew 6:19-21
Are you rich in prayer? It’s never too late for someone to start. It can be as simple as uttering a daily “Praise be to God!” or “Jesus, help me!” Prayer is a powerful weapon against vice and a springboard to virtue. Rather than time spent acquiring things, work on storing up your treasures in heaven and keeping your focus on God. Perhaps exchange an evening out, for an evening in with your family, developing a family prayer routine while building a new family cohesiveness with lively and fun conversations that will enrich each member. Joy is often found where you least expect it.
Let’s continue to pray for one another’s families, for together we are stronger. Remember, you never walk alone!
Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
Say a prayer for another and ask that they continue the prayer chain, and as always, that they pass this on!
