Are you struggling over a difficult situation? Have you prayed for a breakthrough but are feeling disheartened? Take your focus off of your own situation and pray boldly for another with an overwhelming circumstance. Devote your time and energy interceding for others suffering in similar ways.

Paul describes your prayer journey in the above verse. Being saved through faith is the start of your path. The good works you do are your progress and development. Today, ask Jesus to show you the works you have been created to do and ask Him for the courage to keep on the path.

Scripture asks that you seek God first in your life. Spend time with Him especially on days when your to-do list is long. Your life will run smoother, your decisions made easier, and your priorities will become clearer when you are rooted in faith. Everything works best with Him on your side.

Take a moment and consider the amazing power of Christ in your life. Feel the comfort of His infinite love. Reflect on how much He suffered for you. Spend time with Him in prayer and ask Him how you can truly know Him.

Jesus not only guided His disciples with His words, but with His walk. He modeled how to share the good news, how to live a life of prayer and so much more. You are also an example to others and the road you travel with Christ isn’t just for you, but for all those who follow and learn.

In our world filled with distractions, it can be difficult to hear God’s voice. To bend your ear toward Him, bookend your day with prayer. Dedicate the first 15 minutes and the last 15 minutes of every day as your special meeting time with God. Remain spiritually alert; God speaks to us in unexpected ways.
