Want To Know The Best Reasons People Pray?

spirituality Apr 12, 2020

God has the power to bless, forgive, guide, protect, and provide for us. God can do everything, with or without our input. Even if we present our requests to God, we understand that heaven will not align according to our will. So, sometimes, we might lose sight of what is important about prayer.

 

Why Should We Bother Praying?

Do you look at prayer as something that you should do daily? You might wonder why you should even bother praying. After all, God will do what He knows is best, and He will work everything out for your good. There is no real point in the conversation, right?

 

But there is an exciting moment recorded between God and King Hezekiah in Isaiah 38:1-8. In it, the king has become very ill, and the word of the Lord reaches him, telling him that it is time to get his affairs in order. Hezekiah turned, face to the wall, and prayed to the Lord.

 

Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed unto the Lord, And...

Affirmation: I AM Bettering my Future and Letting Go of the Past

affirmations Apr 11, 2020

I am fully mindful that the past is in the past. Therefore, I hold my chin up and move forward with no looking back.

 

I have no control over events that have already occurred in my life. However, I have control over my present and future. So, I assert my authority over my future by making sound decisions that allow me to live well today and in the coming days.

 

I take responsibility for my actions. Generally, the things I do bring positive experiences into my life. But, from time to time, I do make an unsound decision. When this happens, I dare to face the outcome of my actions.

 

I choose to learn from my difficulties, ensuring that the same mistake is never made twice. This in itself allows me to create a better future!

 

My possibilities are shining brightly! Rather than dreaming my days away, I make the most of each day by planting small seeds today to reap the rewards in the future.

 

Life is about making the most of what I have now while still...

Christian Parenting: Raising Children in Faith and Love

relationships Apr 10, 2020

Parenting is one of the most challenging yet rewarding roles God entrusts to us. As Christian parents, our responsibility goes beyond providing for our children’s physical needs—we nurture their spiritual growth, shape their character, and guide them toward a life that honors God. But what does Christian parenting truly involve, and how can we effectively raise our children in faith and love?

 

The Foundation: Building on God’s Word

The Bible is our ultimate guide in parenting. Proverbs 22:6 says, "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." This verse emphasizes the importance of instilling biblical values in our children from a young age. By consistently teaching them God’s Word and demonstrating its truths in our own lives, we lay a strong foundation for their faith.

Children learn more from what they see us do than we tell them. As parents, it's our responsibility to lead by...

Faith Is the Backbone of Christian Life Coaching

The teachings and practices of Jesus, as well as the activities of the early church, often involved the coaching process. This approach allowed individuals to receive guidance, support, and encouragement towards achieving their goals and fulfilling their potential via a Truth Mindset.

They felt that an essential component was absent from their lives. They sought assistance from a helpful listener who was positive and objective and provided truthful feedback. They desired a mentor to guide them toward attaining more tranquility and happiness in their Christian existence. These individuals were in search of a coach.

Through coaching, people could develop their abilities, deepen their understanding, and overcome obstacles that hindered their progress.

It was a powerful tool that helped individuals to grow and thrive, and it remains an important aspect of personal and spiritual development today.

Communication Skills To Keep Fresh On The Mind

The word communication is general in its implication. Communication could take on many roles, depending on its use and context. It also has many formats as a delivery mechanism. You can listen to music, read a book, or watch videos. Discussions are also a form of communication.

Because of the general characteristics of communication, it is not easy to imagine formulating it into a skill. But, it is possible. Numerous colleges offer majors in communications, which raises the field. It is not necessary to study at a four-year college to enhance your communication skills. It requires a basic understanding and practice.

The greatest skill you can develop to communicate well is to listen. Not all people are natural listeners. Many times, during conversations, people are not focused. So, we may have to put effort into becoming better listeners.

To improve your ability to listen to others, repeat everything they say the next time you speak with someone. That may be a little odd to them at...

Make Time to Spotlight the Awesome Truth of Jesus

Making Time to Share Jesus With Others

Years ago, a young country doctor just starting his career faced an outbreak of typhoid in the small farming community he settled in. In the first few days after arriving and ‘putting out his shingle,’ nearly a dozen people came to see him—all of whom had typhoid. He knew what it was. He knew how to treat it. The question was, had he gotten there in time?

Unfortunately for three families, the answer was no. One family lost two of their three small children to the disease by the end of the young doctor’s first month there. He was devastated. In his heart and mind, he was a complete failure. He tried to move beyond the emotional pain and defeat, but he could not. A few months later, without saying a word, he left to live out the rest of his life working as a farmer and determined not to tell anyone what he was.

Fast-forward a few years. The young doctor fell in love and got married. Before long, the couple was expecting a...

Affirmation: I Cleanse my Body, Mind, and Spirit, By Letting Go

affirmations Apr 04, 2020

I let go. It is a freeing process to renew me. The old me steps aside when I release my inhibitions and awaken anew. I must let go of many things in my life to open myself to blessings in store for me.

 

Letting go of all anxiety and stress cleanses my mind. As I let go of my worries, I have peace of mind and tranquility in my soul. I am empowered when I surrender control because my mind is free from tension’s corruptive power.

 

I let go of all emotional wounds of my past so that I can cleanse my spirit. No matter whatever is behind me, I step forward into a better day. I oppose evil thoughts and replace them with faith and trust. And I know my present and future hold the best days of my life.

 

To cleanse my body, I scrutinize my diet and make necessary changes. I eliminate fatty and unhealthy foods. I eat fruits, vegetables, and other food rich in nutrients and vitamins. My body is free from alcohol, drugs, and other toxins. My lungs are free from smoke. I...
