NEVER GIVE UP! Pray and believe God!

Don’t allow wrong focus or discouragement to get the best of you. Discipline your mind to stay on God and His Truth—no matter what is going on around you.

Daniel fasted and prayed for three full weeks because of the terrible state of Jerusalem (see Daniel 10:2-3). Finally, an angelic being appeared to Daniel and caused him to fear. The angel said: “Do not fear, Daniel, for from the first day you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard; and I have come because of your words. But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; and behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left alone there with the kings of Persia. (Daniel 10:12-13).

Just as Daniel’s prayer was heard, our prayers are heard too. There was a spiritual battle raging–that delayed God’s answer. It is obvious there is a spiritual battle raging across the globe.

This account in scripture illustrates clearly how prayer and fasting can change the outcome of situations on earth, but even when we don’t yet see answers and things may appear worse, we can trust that God is still working on our behalf WHEN we are surrendered to Him.

Look at what Jesus said, “He who is of God hears God’s words” (John 8:47). Great news today! When we ARE SURRENDERED TO GOD, we hear Him when He speaks to our heart.

We need the power of God. We need to hear from Him…not man’s opinions. Don’t rely on your own efforts–rely on God’s power.

Prayer: “Father, keep me from assuming anything by neglecting to take everything to You in prayer. I want to hear the truth from You. Help me to follow the leading of Your Holy Spirit and not be led by my flesh–mind, will and emotions. Produce in me the fruit of Your Spirit–fill me with Your love, peace, and joy so that I may be more like You. Help me to be kind, patient, and good to others. In Jesus’ name. Amen.”
