Pray to God continually. Pray continually (1 Thess, 5:17). Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus (Phil. 4:6-7).
Rely on God to reward your faith as you diligently seek Him. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart (Jer. 29:13). And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him (Heb. 11:6),
Attempt the impossible with God. ` “I am the LORD, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me? (Jer. 32:27).Jesus replied, “What is impossible with men is possible with God” (Luke 18:27).
Yield your will to God when you pray. Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.” He went away a second time and prayed, “My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done” (Matt. 26:39, 42).
Our nation (USA) is in a spiritual, moral, and financial predicament. Here is God’s remedy: If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. (2 Chron. 7:14).
Your first love matters to Christ. Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken your first love. Remember the height from which you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place (Rev. 2:4-5). Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved (Matt. 24:12-13).
