Jesus is both author and finisher of our faith. He gives us the wisdom we lack, reverse discouragement, walks us through trials, and provides the way out of temptations.
As believers, we don't have to labour alone. Christ is able to ease burdens, light the way, and neutralize enemy attacks. Yet, we often try doing everything else before finally resigning ourselves that there is nothing left to do but pray.
In fact, the most potent item in our spiritual arsenal is frequent and fervent prayer, grounded in faith. By putting on the full armour of God during days of spiritual battle, we are able to stand our ground and praise him, not for our difficulties, but in spite of them. Jesus is our eternal Friend and personal Redeemer.
Remember where you were when you first met your Savior? He did not bring you out of Egypt to abandon you now!
Seek him first, regardless of what you face.
Philippians 4:6-7
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Be Blessed!
