“Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is going to happen, it shall be granted him.

Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they shall be granted you.” (Quotation – NASB version, Mark 11:23-24)

Are you feeling hopeless – give up everything?
Discouraged to the point of your soul being so despair,
Discontented that life is a struggle?

As a believer in Christ we have the answer – the key to our present situations, that is – Faith and hope in God. Not in knowledge of it but applying that truth in our predicaments.
Focus on the bigger picture – God is in control, not our problems.

Life is not a ‘bed of roses’ but a journey. Along the way we may meet with many challenges, ‘storms’. Don’t allow these deter you elsewhere – as believers we press on with God’s help and strength.

We seek His face in prayer and persists in it until the answers come – God will provide a way out of it. Follow the directions He is leading you – be steadfast, unmovable in God’s promises. What He says He will do.

Don’t blame God for your problems but claim that abundant life. (The thief [devil] comes only to steal, and kill, and destroy; I came that they might have life, and might have it abundantly. John 10:10 – NASB version)

Prayer Guide:

Dear Lord,

I thank you that I can call upon You anytime. (share your problems with God…, even though He knows all things, He wants you to tell him).
As the problem at hand is bugging and overwhelming me, help me dear Lord to overcome it with Your help. Guide me out of it.

In Jesus name, I declare that Your word is truth and life – remove this problem which seems as huge as the mountain.

I claim your wisdom and make the right choices in the course of life and I believe this problem is removed by Your mighty power. I release my problems into Your hands and also cease striving to find alternative ways of resolving it other than Your way.

You are my strength and shield – help me never doubt Your word or promises.

Thank you dear Lord.

In Jesus name, name above all names I pray, Amen.

As we go through the different ‘seasons’ in life, you may be fearful and uncertain of what you will faced. Be in touch with God through prayer and reading His Word.

There are many promises in His Word to claim.
We have to make choices everyday so ask Him for wisdom to do the right thing that will bring Him glory.

Regardless of whatever situation you are in – He has promised:

“I will never leave you nor forsake you” (Hebrews 13:5)…

“at all times you ought to pray and not lose heart” (Luke 18:1)

…Always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ..
(Ephesians 5:20a)

Be encouraged that at times when you go through difficult pathways in life – trust God.
Visualize how a pupae struggle to get out of the cocoon… through it, its wings are strengthen and then emerges a beautiful butterfly. Had someone cut open the cocoon to free it, it would be too weak to fly and it will die. Likewise our situations may be similar.
