pray for faith – focus on what God is doing and share His goodness in our lives
Message:
God once said to me, “Quit talking so much about the devil, what he is saying and what he is doing. I am saying something! Talk about what I am saying. I am doing something! Talk about what I am doing.” This divine reminder encourages us to focus not on the distractions and negativity that surround us but on the good that God is actively doing in our lives.
In a moment of reflection, God spoke to me, urging, “Why don’t you study the Word, and see how Jesus waged spiritual warfare?” It becomes apparent that Jesus did not dwell on the actions of the devil or the forces of darkness. Instead, He lived in the light, casting out darkness with the truth of God’s Word. We are called to follow His example—resisting the devil and sharing the good things that God is actively doing in our lives.
This call to action nudges us to shift our conversations from fear and despair to hope and divine interventions. We become vessels of God’s truth, spreading light in a world that often feels heavy with darkness. As we engage with others, our words should reflect the powerful, transformative nature of God’s work. In doing so, we partner with Him to create a ripple effect of positivity and faith.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we come before You today with grateful hearts, acknowledging Your presence in our lives. We thank You for the countless blessings You bestow upon us each day, for the love and grace that guide our steps. Lord, help us to remember the message You have placed upon our hearts: to focus not on the struggles and the whispers of the enemy but to speak freely about the miraculous works You are accomplishing all around us.
Teach us to turn our attention away from the distractions that seek to undermine our faith. Strengthen our resolve to resist the devil’s temptations and deception, choosing instead to engage in meaningful conversations about Your goodness. Help us share the testimonies of Your faithfulness and mercy with those who cross our paths. Empower us, Lord, to be messengers of Your love, echoing the truth of Your Word and the beauty of Your actions in our lives.
As we reflect on the ways You have intervened, may our hearts overflow with gratitude. Let our souls rejoice in the understanding that You are actively working, even when circumstances seem bleak. Illuminate our minds with Your wisdom, guiding us to scripture that anchors our faith and reminds us of Your greatness.
May we cultivate a spirit of encouragement, being bold enough to share the good news of Your love with those who need it most. Allow our words to be seeds of hope that blossom into faith, drawing others closer to You. Thank You, Lord, for the privilege of participating in Your kingdom work. We ask for courage and clarity as we strive to speak life into the world around us, and we commit to telling everyone about the incredible things You are doing in our lives.
In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
