This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
Joshua 1:8 (KJV)
Inspiration
We make excuses not to study the Bible. Time limitations seem to be the number one reason! The Word is a precious gift from God Himself. Absorbing scripture keeps us alert in the truth so arenât deceived by false prophets. It provides comfort in times of trouble and guidance when we have big decisions to make. Consistently studying Godâs work strengthens our faith and our ongoing relationship with the Creator we love and adore. Love always has time.
Prayer
Dear Lord, please forgive us for making excuses not to study scripture. Help us make studying a priority so we can apply it to our daily life. In Jesusâ Name, Amen.

And it shall be when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What is this? that thou shalt say unto him, By strength of hand the Lord brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage
Exodus 13:14 (KJV)
Inspiration
Life hands us some seriously troubling events. We feel enslaved with the emotions those events tend to produce; emotions such as grief, depression or anxiety. We take these troubling events and turn them into powerful witness statements! The Holy Spirit leads us to opportunities where we can share our stories and comfort people who are experiencing the same turmoil.
Prayer
Dear Lord, with the guidance of Your Spirit, we will persevere through troubling events and when given the opportunity, we will witness to our brother and sisters. In Jesusâ Name, Amen.

And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.
Genesis 19:17 (KJV)
Inspiration
Itâs impossible to forget we are sinners. All of us have made poor life decisions or sinned against God, causing hurt to people we love. Itâs easy to allow regret to seep into our hearts and make us feel as though we can never overcome our terrible actions. Regret over our sinful nature is natural but we must remember that Jesus paid it all so that we may be forgiven. Godâs love is unconditional, the slate is wiped clean when we ask for forgiveness in Jesusâ name.
Prayer
Lord, please forgive our sin and make our lives new through your Spirit. In Jesusâ Name, Amen.

There is no mountain we cannot climb because with God, all things are possible!
Prayer
Dear Lord, nothing is impossible for You and we are humbled by the fact that You are present to help us conquer each moment. In Jesusâ Name, Amen.

Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh.
Genesis 18:15 KJV
Inspiration
We deny our true selves to others. We donât want to admit how impatient or angry we get. We donât anyone to know that we become jealous or have hateful thoughts. God knows our true hearts. We donât have to fear when it comes to admitting our true feelings to Him. He knows our sins before we speak and grants forgiveness when we ask. His grace is sufficient for all.
Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father, we cannot deny our true self from You. We come to You with sincerity to ask forgiveness for our sins today. In Jesusâs Name, Amen.

Dear Lord, we are devoted to You. We need You desperately and will stand with You continually every day of our lives. In Jesusâ Name, Amen.

Looking back on life, we observe countless moments when God has intervened in our lives or the lives of others. His bestows upon us numerous blessings and miracles beyond our understanding.

Inspiration
God commissioned Paul to share the Gospel with the nations. He experienced great persecution along the way, yet the Lord encouraged him to remain courageous as he continued his ministry into Rome. We also surrender our lives to the Lord and complete many works in His name. People ignore or reject us, but the Holy Spirit never fails to guide and encourage us along the way.

And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.
Acts 23:12(KJV)
Inspiration
The Jews were desperate to extinguish Paulâs life and vowed their death to accomplish the deed. Paul was imprisoned, beaten, and rejected multiple times, yet he continued the Lordâs ministry because he had faith in Godâs plan. How important is sharing the Gospel today? We often become comfortable and fail to venture out into our local community to share the way to salvation. We are shy or may not be confident about our evangelical skills. We have faith in Godâs plan; He extends salvation to all, and we are crucial in His ministry.
Prayer
Dear God, we are crucial to Your ministry. Please help us overcome our weaknesses, so we may continue sharing the Gospel. In Jesusâ Name, Amen.

Inspiration
We love our brothers and sisters in Christ and miss one another when separated. Paul was eager to see the church of Rome and anticipated blessing them with a spiritual gift. He saught to deliver encouragement by joining them in person to worship and fellowship. When we fellowship together, the unity strengthens our character, and we discover unique qualities amongst our brethren that aid in the churchâs ministry. We are all eager to unite in the name of God and develop and strengthen our gift of evangelism.
Prayer
Dear Lord, we love our church family and desire to make our time of fellowship a priority this day. In Jesusâ Name, Amen.

Romans 1:15 (KJV)
Inspiration
Our pastors are eager to share the Word with us. God commissions them to teach us about salvation and how to apply scripture to our lives. We must meet their eagerness with encouragement and prayer.

We will continue to keep them close in prayer and use words of encouragement as they complete the works of the Lord.
Prayer

And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
Genesis 6:6
Inspiration
Our sins grieve the Lord because Sin is the darkness that separates us from God. When we choose to walk our own way instead of living our lives according to Godâs will, we are choosing to separate ourselves from Him. He becomes saddened at the thought of being rejected by His children. We must take an honest look at the sins lurking in our thoughts and seek guidance to rid ourselves of the sins that separate us from our heavenly Father.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, Please forgive us for the dark thoughts that cause us to sin and further separate us from You. In Jesusâ Name, Amen.

And the Lord said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
Genesis 4:6 (KJV)
Inspiration
Anger is a normal and unavoidable human emotion. We all become angry at one time or another. Our anger is often stirred up when we witness mistreatment of our friends or unfair outcomes in the lives of loved ones. ItââŹâ˘s inevitable that we will become angry when people hurt, but we cannot allow anger to control our actions and lead us to sin. Instead of being quick to anger, let us turn our anger over to the Lord.
Prayer
Father, Anger is a dangerous emotion if allowed to get out of hand. We ask for guidance as we turn our feelings of hurt and anger over to you this day. In Jesusâ Name, Amen.

Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins, and clothed them.
Genesis 3:21 (KJV)
Inspiration
Itâs difficult to be a Christian parent in the world today. There are multiple temptations for our children when they use the internet, turn on the television, view social media, or see casual advertisements at the store. Sins are downplayed and overtime our little ones may become desensitized to the danger scripture warns us to avoid. God shows us how to intervene when our children stumble. We must forgive, shower them with unconditional love and clothe them with spiritual protection.
Prayer
Dear Lord, please help us give unconditional love to our children when they stumble, just as you have given to us time and time again. In Jesusâ Name, Amen.

And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.
Genesis 3:8(KJV)
Inspiration
We make excuses for sin just like Adam and Eve. Sometimes we need to hide for a minute to convince ourselves we really didnât do anything wrong or find someone else to blame for our disobedience. Some sins donât appear to be hurting us right away making us think we can change on our own. Instead of trying to hide, let us come face to face with the God who loves us unconditionally. When we sincerely repent, He immediately wipes our sin away.
Prayer
Father, please help us stop hiding our sin. We can repent sincerely because you love us unconditionally. In Jesusâ Name, Amen.

The thing is from my cognitive abilities i can say that there must be a god but the problem arise here when people say that god hear our prayers and the wishes in our hearts and also the prayers we only made in our heart but i canât believe in these thingâs, i think either god dont hear these things or he give everything in our control and he dont play any role in our dailylife activities.i want to code an example that when something didnt go as there wish people say, its god volition, like suppoese a family were about to go for a trip and something comes up and they had to delay it, they say its god vloition maybe theres something better in this settlement of god,on the contradiction when we see an 4 year old girl getting rape , killed and throwing in a trash can then why dont people say its god volition like in very small things people say its god volition then why god dont stop such incidents where hundereds and thousands of children under age 10 are raped and killed. I only gave a single example,(the issue of Palestinian and many more are already infront of everyone).from these things i conclude that either god dont hear us or he gives everything in our control.
