Are you trying hard to put all your faith, hope, love and trust in God. He does not ever disappoint us. (NASB) Romans 10:11

Im so busy and stressed. I really dont have time to pray. I tried last night and fell asleep. 

Also im really afraid to trust God. Ive just been struggling even with him. Even when i was dedicating my life to him at one point.

This can be a long drawn out process to learn that we are safe to trust God. Knowing there is a God and knowing He can be trusted is not the same. To add insult to injury there is a lot of pain, misery and suffering in this world and it is very difficult to believe that God is going to cause good to come out of all of that. Can we really trust that God is good when the world is in the state it is in. I do know that we are better off with God than we are without Him. So we need to build on what little trust we have and just like exercise strengthens our body. A little bit at a time we can build our trust in God and know that everything is going to work out and He is in control. 

If you ask my wife this is not even an issue for her. He answers prayer, He gave us life. Why would anyone question Him?  She just says to do your best and trust the rest to Him. Because we do not have any choice otherwise.

Your honesty delights the Lord. How so?

Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord,
But those who deal faithfully are His delight.

(Proverbs 12:22 NASB)

Would it help to emphasize that prayer is conversation with God, @Figure of eighty? We speak to the Lord, and He hears our voice; we speak to the Lord and reveal the depths of our heart to the One who knows all things. I speak to Him all day long and this is not a burden. Remember this:

Almighty God, who fashioned the poet as well as the simple man by His hand, is not moved by flowery speech. The Lord God has need of nothing, for He created all things seen and unseen and, in His sight, there is nothing new under the sun. What moves God upon His throne, then?

The words of the sincere who cast the truth of their heart before His throne with abandon... this one the Lord will not despise. Speak to the Lord from the depths of your heart, my friend, and do not be afraid that He will despise you for it. God already knows the secrets of our hearts. By doing so, you are engaging in prayer. :)

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
