If you are to go to Christ, do not put on your good doings and feelings, or you will get nothing; go in your sins, they are your livery. Your ruin is your argument for mercy; your poverty is your plea for heavenly alms; and your need is the motive for heavenly goodness. Go as you are, and let your miseries plead for you.

Charles Spurgeon

Praying and sinning will never live together in the same heart, Prayer will consume sin, or sin will choke prayer.?

A Cry from the Depths

Jonah 2:2-9

Have you ever felt like you're in a desperate situation, with no way out? Maybe you've made mistakes, or circumstances have spiraled out of control. That's where Jonah found himself - swallowed by a whale, trapped in the dark depths of the ocean.

But even in that desperate place, Jonah cried out to God. He prayed a prayer of repentance, acknowledging his disobedience and recognizing God's sovereignty. He expressed faith in God's salvation, even when all hope seemed lost.

Jonah's prayer is a powerful reminder that no matter where we are or what we've done, God is always within reach. We can cry out to Him in our darkest moments, and He will hear us.

Reflection Questions:

1. Have you ever felt like you're in a desperate situation? How did you respond?
2. What mistakes or regrets have you been carrying? How can you apply Jonah's example of repentance and faith to your situation?
3. Take a moment to cry out to God, acknowledging your need for His salvation and guidance.

Prayer:

Dear God, I come to You in my desperation, acknowledging my mistakes and limitations. I cry out to You, trusting in Your sovereignty and salvation. Help me to repent and turn to You, even in the darkest moments. Guide me and rescue me, that I may worship and thank You forever. Amen.

"Today we're going to look at the answer which
Jesus Himself gave to this question, what is
truth. Jesus had actually answered the
question in a private conversation with His
disciples. This private conversation is
recorded in John 14 verses 2 - 6. "1 am the
way, I am the truth and I am the life." He
presented Himself as the complete and final
answer. You want to know where to go, l'm the
way. You want to know what to believe, I'm the
truth. You want to know how to live, I'm the
life. I am the answer to those questions.

Imagine Jesus as a master builder, not just a remodeler. He's not looking to simply give your life a fresh coat of paint or update the exterior to make it look nice. When Jesus enters your life, He's there to completely transform you from the inside out. He's not renovating your old self; He's relocating you into a brand-new identity. He's exchanging the broken, worn-out parts of your old nature for a fully restored, state-of-the-art version of yourself. You may still live in the same world, surrounded by the same people and challenges, but with Jesus, you are fundamentally changed. Your new identity is bought and paid for with His love and sacrifice. You are no longer the same person, trying to hold things together on your own. You are a new creation, fully furnished with the love, grace, and power of Jesus Christ.

Lord, just as You guided Jonah out of his own path and into Your will, I ask You to pull me from my own direction and lead me into Yours 🙏🏻

Christ emptied Himself for us—will we empty ourselves for Him? Let His sacrifice inspire our humble surrender and generous love, reflecting His grace in all we do.

Keep to the Point that your life needs to be all for Christ

In the midst of uncertainty, choose faith over fear. Stand on the rock of God's promises, unwavering and unshakeable. As 2 Timothy 1:7 reminds me, 'For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.' When doubts creeps in, remind yiurself of His goodness, His love, and His presence. Donot let fear dictate your path, but instead, walk by faith, trusting that He has a plan to prosper you, not to harm you (Jeremiah 29:11). May you remain steadfast, and may your soul remain anchored, and may your spirit remain surrendered to His will.

Dear Reader,

Often, we need to take a step back and declutter our lives, just as we do with our homes, which serve as a sanctuary—a safe space where we can breathe and rest. This action of removing distractions from our physical space reflects the need to cleanse our inner space, creating room for peace and clarity.

Just as we care for our homes, we must also care for our hearts and minds, for they are our true temples. Scripture reminds us of this holy responsibility:

🔹️“Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?” (1 Corinthians 3:16)

We are called to protect our inner selves from unnecessary burdens, to let go of the weight of anxiety, negativity, and the pain of the past. By doing so, we make room for God's peace and guidance.

🔹️“Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.” (1 Peter 5:7)

As we declutter our homes and lives, we are reminded to focus on what truly matters: love, wisdom, growth, and renewal.

🔹️“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.” (Hebrews 12:1)

Let us take time to sort through what no longer serves us and make space for growth, healing, and a deeper walk with God.

God's love transforms us when we believe and have faith. We are strengthened, rooted, and grounded by His love, which surpasses human understanding. His love enables us to experience the fullness of God, and live a life where His presence is always present. 🙏💜

When we build our life on God nothing will shake us out of our identity that's in God 💜🙏🏻

Even when all seems lost, we can take hold of God's hand, and He will grasp ours, whispering words of comfort: 'Fear not, be not discouraged.' We will take our boldness and courage that comes from within, and we will rise as the conquerors He created us to be, g knowing He'll guide us through life's darkest places and lead us to triumph. 🙏🏻💜
