We wash, we dress, we eat. Would you ever think of leaving the house without brushing your teeth? And yet we rarely take the time to prepare our souls for the day ahead of us. It doesn't need to take very long. Just a minute or two each morning. But a simple morning prayer can literally transform the way we think, feel, behave, and work. A morning prayer helps to remind us how blessed we are—even on those days when you sleep through the alarm, when the coffee spills on your lap, when the toast burns, when the kids are whining, when nothing seems to be going right. Even brief prayer can give us the courage to confront a diffi cult day, and it can give us the insight to recognize a miraculous one. Before you race out the door, take a moment. Take a deep breath in, let a deep breath out, and talk to God. Tell God your hopes for the new day and your worries too. And don't forget to notice something to be thankful for this day. A morning prayer: There are so many things I take for granted. May I not ignore them today. Just for today, help me, God, to remember that my life is a gift, that my health is a blessing, that this new day is fi lled with awesome potential, that I have the capacity to bring something wholly new and unique and good into this world. Just for today, help me, God, to remember to be kind and patient to the people who love me, and to those who work with me too. Teach me to see all the beauty that I so often ignore, and to listen to the silent longing of my own soul. Amen. (Part 3 of "VICTORIOUS" Series) I received a text from a friend several years ago and wrote it in my journal. I had been going through many tough challenges. Her message was uplifting and I believe it will encourage you if you are going through a difficult time. She texted, "Everything you are going through is preparing you for what you asked God for. God will reveal (what you need to know) all in his time. Remain focused and obedient. Walk alone when you have to. Trust God to the fullest no matter how crazy things may look. No word from God is without power or without the ability to come to pass. He said it even if you don't see it yet. He said it! Don't you dare turn a w a y . K e e p m o v i n g f o r w a r d ; G o d i s real. Keep believing, even when it looks like believ- ing isn't w o r k i n g . The enemy wouldn't be trying so hard to take you out if your impact against his kingdom wasn't going to be so great! God will allow the Goliath so we can see the David in us." Keys My friend gave me a few important points that helped me to continue to walk in victory despite the circumstances. First, who or what we focus on when we are dealing with trials will determine the level of our peace during the storm. We can keep our eyes on the problems or zero in on Christ and his word. Hebrews 12:2 (CEV) states, "We must keep our eyes on Jesus, who leads us and makes our faith complete. He endured the shame of being nailed to a cross because he knew later on he would be glad he did. Now he is seated at the right side of God's throne! Secondly, our job is to believe and trust in Christ, especially when things seem to get worse. Spend time finding out what his word says, meditat- ing on the scriptures, believing what he has said, and praising him for his faithfulness. John 6: 29 (AMP) says, "...This is the work of God: that you believe [adhere to, trust in, rely on, and have faith] in the One whom He has sent." Lastly, there is a pur- pose for the pain and a ministry for the mess. God is going to use it all for his glory. After we have experienced a storm, now we can comfort someone else through theirs. 2 Corinthians 1:4 (NLT) says, "He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us." PRAY THIS PRAYER: "Father you are an awesome God, worthy of all the praise, glory, and honor. Thank you for blessing me with friends who love me enough to encour- age me and pray for me. I am grateful that I am never alone. I also thank you for entrusting me with the ministry of com- fort to others. Please continue to strengthen me through every test and trial. In Jesus' name, I pray - Amen."
