Isaiah 64:6-8


Throughout my life, prayer has been weak and a hard thing to understand for me. I prayed just as a task and didn’t shared my heart to God. During this time, God is calling me to improve in my prayer life. As I have been learning, it is not my actions and my attempts that make the way to God; He is the way, truth, and life. Not even me who is looking for me first, it is Jesus who never gets tired nor stops looking after me. All I need to do and respond to his loving call. During the last months, in my walking with Christ, He has been taking me higher and deeper. I believe, this season is about praying. In these verses, there was no one who stood up and come before the Lord, to cry out to Him and plead for His mercy. They didn’t react and search God, even though they were in sin and not pleasing the Lord. As them, my prayer is shallow and mediocre. In the book of Acts, they were sent to pray and ministry the word. It means that is half part of the work giving ministry the power to do it. But we most of the times fall very short in it. I am one… I have found that praying equals hard work. Takes more denying of myself than anything else. Starting from the morning, waking up can be easy some days but others hard. I can go acting without asking for God’s will, and making decisions without His approval. Even in relationships, a good friend is someone who prays for you and I have found myself wanting friends, but if I want a friend I must first be one. God has this season because He is preparing me for something that is coming, through prayer, being watchful and available to Him; He is going to pour in me what I need and build me up. He is the potter and I am the clay… but it takes from me to let Him work on me. If I don’t set time to pray for me, family, people in ministry, ministry itself, and His promises; is going to be hard to see His will be done. I have organized myself, and set some rules to cultivate a private prayer life.

Application:
Do my daily prayer schedule.

1 Corinthians 9:22

What another demonstration of love to our neighbors or to people than to be emphatic with their lives and share with them the gospel? Knowing that God called me to be a disciple and to share the gospel to people has opened my eyes. His calling qualifies me, even though I feel like I am not ready or don’t have enough love for others, I have stopped trying and just letting Him work in me and through me.  Being honest, it is hard for me to be open to all people I face or get to know, but it is even harder when it is people that I know or are my friends. I believe this happens because of my lack of faith in Him. Now that I am in a real relationship with Him, my love and passion has been growing. My heart opens more and more every new time we get to do outreaches or share the gospel.  I can’t love people with my heart, but I can love them with His love. In my strength is hard to lay down and try to talk to everyone, but His faithfulness and passion for them is what makes me move. N

Hebrews 11:1

It seems that for all our lives and during every phase, we humans actually keep on wishing, wanting, and expecting  for something to happen or to come up to. Most of us will be influenced by the circumstances in our lives and the words of other people. It seems that we are constantly under pressure and bombarded with things that we don’t  even expect; like if we would become the person that the circumstances are dictating or what other people  are saying. Our expectations of life and the desires or hopes of our heart are biased to the wrong way.  Hebrews helps us define what faith really is, if we pay close attention. It is faith that is what holds all of these points, letting  us know what really is going wrong is our faith’s direction. We have the steering wheel of our own faith, it is us who  decide where we want it to be anchored or to whom or what we rely it on.  During my life I have been always a dreamer, having life goals, and constantly looking towards the

Luke 21:19

While I was thinking of standing still, a soldier was illustrated in my mind. When a superior calls a soldier to stand still, the soldier must leave whatever he is doing and come up firming his body. Then he has an attitude of listener, because the superior surely has something important to say. After the superior finishes his command, the soldier must wait until he has permitted to “relax”.  We can take certain points out of this illustration. The soldier has attitudes of obedience, service, and discipline. Jesus is our chief in command and we are his soldiers, we have to fight for souls. As any soldier, we need to look sharp and in shape. Otherwise we are going to die. We shall seek Jesus daily to know him more and delight ourselves in Him; so that our faces can reflect Him. Our ears need to be sensible to His voice, in a battle of so much noise and action, confusing a command from a different source will have terrible consequences. Our most important weapon is His word, sharper
