Hello, single Christian millennials.

I know it's hard,

but don't let that be reason enough to stop believing in God,

to stop trusting God.

Remember what He says in Jeremiah 29:11,

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD,
“plans to prosper you and not to harm you,
plans to give you hope and a future.”

He has a great plan for your life.

The journey to success can indeed feel like a never-ending construction project.

But remember, it's through that process of building and rebuilding, learning and growing, that we truly find success.

And the beauty of it is, we get to decide what our own version of success looks like.

So keep building, keep learning, and most importantly, keep going! 😊

Struggles and challenges are a part of life, and they often don't cease even when one achieves success.

In fact, with success come new challenges and responsibilities.

It's important to remember that these struggles are not necessarily a bad thing.

They can help us grow, learn, and become stronger.

They can also provide valuable lessons and experiences that contribute to our success.

The path to success is not always easy, but it's the journey that shapes us.

As the saying goes, "The gem cannot be polished without friction, nor man perfected without trials."

So, embrace the struggles and let them guide you on your path to success.

We Christians must always wear the Full Armor of God to stand against all attacks of the enemy,
whether we know it or not.

Ephesians 6:10-11: “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.”

Ephesians 6:12: “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”

Ephesians 6:13: “Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.”

Ephesians 6:14: “Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,”

Ephesians 6:15: “and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.”

Ephesians 6:16: “In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.”

Ephesians 6:17: “Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.”

Ephesians 6:18: “And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.”

“The Lord will fight for you;
you need only to be still.”
Exodus 14:14

In times of uncertainty and struggle,
it is comforting to know that we are not alone.

We can trust in the Lord to guide us
and protect us.

Let us find peace in stillness
and have faith that everything will work out according to His plan.

Sometimes, it can be difficult to let go and trust in a higher power.

We may feel like we need to take control and fix everything ourselves.

But this verse reminds us that we don’t have to do it all on our own.

We can surrender our worries
and fears to the Lord
and trust that He will fight for us.

Let us find comfort in the knowledge that the Lord is with us,
fighting for us every step of the way.

In good times and bad,
God is always with us.

No matter the circumstances,
He is the God of every situation.

Trust in Him and know that He is always there for us,
guiding us through life's ups and downs.

Remember that what matters most
is not the situation we find ourselves in,
but our faith and trust in Him.

So let us hold fast to our faith,
knowing that God is with us every step of the way.

As it says in Proverbs 3:5-6,
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make straight your paths."

Let us put our trust in God
and know that He will guide us through even the most difficult times.

Wrestling with God: How Jacob’s Encounter Changed His Life

Jacob's story in the Bible teaches us
about the transformative power of God's grace.
Despite his flaws and mistakes,
Jacob was able to overcome his struggles
and become a better person
through his relationship with God.

One of the traits we can learn from Jacob is perseverance.
He faced many challenges and setbacks in his life,
but he never gave up.
He continued to strive towards his goals
and achieved them with God's help.

Another trait we can learn from Jacob is humility.
After his encounter with God,
Jacob realized that he could not rely on his own strength
to succeed in life.

He recognized his need for God's guidance and blessings,
and he humbled himself before God.
This humility allowed him to grow in his faith
and become a better person.

In today's world,
we can apply these lessons by striving to persevere
through our own struggles and challenges,
while also recognizing our need for God's guidance and blessings. We can also strive to be humble,
recognizing that we are not perfect
and that we need God's help to
become the best version of ourselves.

Life is full of ups and downs,
but one thing remains constant:

The Presence of God.

Whether we are experiencing joy
or facing challenges,

God is always with us,
guiding us and providing comfort.

Even in the most difficult situations,
when it feels like there’s no hope left,
we can trust that God is working behind the scenes
to bring about His perfect plan.

It may not happen on our timeline,
but in God’s time,
all things are possible.

So let us take heart and have faith,
knowing that we are never alone

and that With God,
All Things are Possible.

Abraham's Unbreakable Faith: A Lesson for Us All

Ever heard of Abraham and his incredible faith?

He's known as the father of many nations,
with a story that showcases unwavering belief despite overwhelming challenges.

In Romans 4:18-22,
we dive into how Abraham
clung to his faith in God's promise,
even against all odds,
becoming the father of many nations.

Imagine being 100
and still believing in an impossible promise.

Well, that's exactly what Abraham did.
Despite his body no longer being able to produce children
and Sarah not being able to conceive,
Abraham never lost faith.

He acknowledged the reality of the situation but still trusted in God's promise,
seeing it as his conviction that God had the power to fulfill it.

This passage teaches us about the amazing power of faith.
Even when things seem impossible,
we can have faith in God's promises
and find strength in our beliefs.

Like Abraham,
we can face reality while still having unwavering faith,
knowing that God has the power to make his promises come true.

Abraham's rock-solid faith was seen as righteousness.
His unwavering belief in God's promise stands
as an example for all of us.
When we trust in God
and believe in his promises,
we too can experience the power of faith.

So, next time when we're up against a tough situation,
channel our inner Abraham
and have faith that God has the power to fulfill his promises.

"Have faith in God," Jesus answered.

"Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain,
'Go, throw yourself into the sea,'
and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen,
it will be done for them.

Therefore I tell you,
whatever you ask for in prayer,
believe that you have received it,
and it will be yours."
Mark 11:22-24 NIV

Fighting for the Vision, Goals, and Dreams that God Has Given You

Have you ever felt like giving up on your dreams?
Have you ever felt like the obstacles in your path are too great to overcome?
If so, you’re not alone.
Many of us have faced moments of doubt and uncertainty
when it comes to pursuing our goals.

But what if I told you that there is a way to overcome these challenges? What if I told you that the key to achieving your dreams lies in fighting for the vision, goals, and dreams that God has given you?

When we align our vision with God’s plan for our lives,
we tap into a source of strength and determination that is greater than anything we could ever imagine.
We can face our challenges with courage and confidence,
knowing that we are not alone in our journey.

So how do we fight for the vision, goals, and dreams that God has given us?

Here are some steps we can take:
Pray for guidance: Ask God to show you the path He has laid out for you and to give you the strength and courage to follow it.
Stay focused: Keep your eyes fixed on your goals and don’t let distractions or setbacks derail you from your path.
Surround yourself with support: Surround yourself with people who believe in you and support your vision.
Take action: Don’t just dream about your goals - take action to make them a reality.

Remember, when we fight for the vision, goals, and dreams that God has given us, there is no other option but to succeed. So don’t give up - keep fighting for what you believe in and trust that with God by your side, anything is possible.

Have you realized
that no matter what battles we face,
God is always fighting for us.

in the face of adversity.

All we have to do is be still
and trust in Him,

The future may be uncertain,
but our faith in God is not.

Abraham was called by God to leave his home and family
and travel to a land he had never seen before.

He didn't know where he was going,
but he trusted God.

And God did not disappoint him.

We can have the same kind of faith in God.

Even when we don't know what the future holds,
we can trust that God has a plan for us.

He is the architect and builder of our lives,
and He will never leave us or forsake us.

So let's not be afraid of the future.

Let's trust God and step out in faith,
knowing that He will lead us to our promised land.

Are you feeling a bit overwhelmed by the challenges of today?

It’s okay.
We all have tough times.

Remember, hope is always there.

God’s love is with us every step of the way,
and He’s our refuge and strength,
even in the darkest moments.

Remember what it says in Isaiah 41:10,
“Fear not, for I am with you.”

Keep your head up!

11/07/2023

Lord, set us on fire on You once again, seeking You, finding You in a Different situation, an Encounter with You, doing Your will and seeking Your will in our lives. Visit us in our prayers, a new and personal encounter with You once again. In Jesus name, amen.

When I was going through a tough time,
my faith gave me the strength to keep going.

I found comfort in prayer
and felt like I wasn't alone.

No matter what you're going through,
remember that there is always hope.

'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord,
'plans to prosper you and not to harm you,
plans to give you hope and a future.'

No matter how dark the night,
the sun always rises.

Keep the faith
and never give up hope.

5 ways to stay hopeful during tough times:

1) Connect with others who share your faith
2) Spend time in prayer and meditating God’s word
3) Read uplifting books or listen to inspiring music
4) Volunteer or help others in need
5) Take care of yourself - eat well, exercise, and get enough sleep.

How do you stay hopeful
when things get tough?
For me, my faith gives me strength and comfort.
