Anytime, Anywhere

Be unceasing in prayer. (1 Thessalonians 5:17)

We can pray anytime, anywhere. Our instructions are to "pray at all times, on every occasion, in every season" and to "be unceasing in prayer," but we know that we cannot spend all day long in a corner talking and listening to God. If we did, we could not live our lives. Prayer needs to be like breathing-regular, easy-and we need to just pray our way through life as part of the way we live. In fact, just as our physical lives are sustained by breathing, our spiritual lives should be maintained by praying. We can pray out loud or we can pray silently. We can pray sitting down, standing up, or walking. We can talk and listen to God while we are moving or while we are being still. We can pray while we are shopping, waiting for an appointment, participating in a business meeting, doing household chores, driving, or taking a shower. We can pray things like, "Thank You, Lord, for everything You're doing," or "God, I need You to help me," or "Oh, Jesus, help that lady over there who looks so sad." Actually, this approach to prayer is God's will. Satan wants us to procrastinate, hoping we will forget to pray. I encourage you to pray right away when something comes to your heart. This will help you stay close to God all day.

Hearing from GOD each morning 365 Daily Devotions
By: Joyce Meyer

And please always remember GOD loves you!

Know Your Enemy

We are not wrestling with flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against the despotisms, against the powers, against [the master spirits who are] the world rulers of this present darkness.

                                                                                                        (Ephesians 6:12)

Satan uses people and circumstances, but they are not our real enemy; he is. He finds things and people through whom he can work and delights in watching us fight and war without ever realizing he is the source. When Satan used Peter to try to divert Jesus from going to Jerusalem to complete the task God had sent Him to do, "Jesus turned away from Peter and said to him, Get behind Me, Satan! You are in My way [an offense and a hindrance and a snare to Me]." (Matthew 16:23, Emphasis Mine) Satan used Peter, but Jesus knew that Peter was not His real problem. He turned away from Peter and addressed the source of His temptation.

We need to look beyond what we see or initially feel and seek to know the source of our problem too. Usually we blame people and become angry with them, which only complicates and compounds the problem. When we behave in this manner, we are actually playing right into Satan's hands and helping his plans succeed. We also blame circumstances and sometimes even God, which also delights Satan.

Yes, we need to know our enemy-not only who he is but what his character is like. The Bible encourages us to know the character of God so we can place faith in Him and what He says. Likewise, we should know Satan's character so we do not listen to or believe his lies.

The Rest Of God

For we who have believed (adhered to and trusted in and relied on God) do enter that rest, in accordance with His declaration that those [who did not believe] should not enter when He said, As I swore in My wrath, They shall not enter My rest; and this He said although [His] works had been completed and prepared [and waiting for all who would believe] from the foundation of the wold. [Ps. 95:11.]
                                                                                                 
                                                                                                   (Hebrews 4:3)


Hebrew 4:3 teaches that those who did not listen to God's Word or obey His instructions did not enter into the place of rest He offered them. So when you feel frustrated or upset, or if you lose your peace and your joy, ask yourself, "Am I believing God's Word?"

The only way we will ever be free from struggling is to believe the Word and obey whatever Jesus puts in our hearts to do. Believing God's Word delivers us from struggling so that we can rest in the promises of God.

Are you in need of God's rest? Adhere to Him, trust in Him and rely on Him and experience the rest He has prepared for you.

The Rest of God

Hebrews 4:3 teaches that those who believe God enter into His rest. Experiencing His rest is one way you can tell whether you are really in faith, or whether you are just trying to have faith. When you truly enter into the realm of faith, you enter into the rest of God.

Rest is freedom from excessive reasoning, struggle, fear, inner turmoil, worry, and frustration, which develop because of our working to do what only God can do. Being in God 's rest is not necessarily resting from physical activity, but resting in confidence in the midst of everything that goes on in life. It is a rest of the soul where the mind, will, and emotions are at peace.

You can rest in God because you know He will take care of you and meet your needs. You do not know when or how, and you really do not care because you are enjoying the life you have right now while God works on your problem.

God wants us to live at peace and in His rest. But in order for us to do that, we need to believe that God exists and that He is the rewarder of those who earnestly and diligently seek Him [out]" (Hebrews 11:6).

If you are worn out, I urge you to enter into God's rest. I encourage you to quit trying to control everyone and everything around you and simply allow God to do for you what only He can do.

No matter what you face, God wants to help you and give you rest.
