Christian Reflection and Prayer

My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect
in weakness. -  2 Corinthians 12:9

 

If you're down to nothing, God is up to something. I want to
tell you something - no matter how deep you are down the
hole, God is up to something in your life. If you respond
with faith, good things are gonna happen.

 

If you need hope, get it today. Good things are happening
because God loves you, God is not ignoring you, He has
not abandoned you, He's not taken a break from you, He's
not cut you off, He is with you. He is on your side, He is
for you. And if you feel as though you've lost everything,
have faith, have hope, and even have joy. God's up to
something in your life. Good things are are going to happen.

 

PRAYER:

 

Dear Lord, help me to see what you are up to in my life.
Help me have the faith to carry on and have joy in my trials.
Thank you for being on my side. Amen.

 

What is God doing in your life today?

Scripture:   (Psalm 14)

 

Seeking after God creates wisdom and goodness in and
through us. How can we not help but "become good" when
we orient our lives towards God who is goodness?  Richard
Rohr writes, "God does not love you because you are good,
God loves you because God is good. And then you can be
good because you draw upon such an Infinite Source." God
is the source, the origin of all goodness, which is love. 
When we live in love we are wise and we become that which
we seek.

 

Prayer:

 

May we seek you this day, O God, and grow in wisdom as
we do.
