Today's Verse:
"For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building." 1 Corinthians 3:9

Heavenly Father,

There's a co-worker of Yours, Joyce Meyer, who said "Are you, or someone you know, going through a difficult time? Has a crisis come your way that threatens to overwhelm you? Could you use some help? Everyday Answers provides wisdom from God’s Word to help deal with life’s difficult issues." She has a section in her blog called "Everyday Answers" which contains a list of very interesting topics and answers.

There are two most difficult problem we face Lord:

1/ Battlefield of the Mind

Father, we are overwhelmed by crisis on a daily basis. This seems to be a "never ending story", because the world is full of problems. It could be us or it could be our love ones who falls into the satan's trap. And these issues could be just big enough to make us feel so frustrated. Father, may You send angels to us, to smoothen our hearts in these times of trouble, may You grant us peace in heart. Father, let us count our blessings and focus on You and You alone when we fall into any satan's trap. Father, remind us once again that You are the ONE and ONLY ONE that is in control. Father, remind us that You are the ONE who has our best interest at heart. Father, as it is written "The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." (2 Corinthians 10:5), help us to discipline ourselves in Your words each day.


2/ Pleasing People

Father, since birth, we have been trying to please the people around us, at first, our parents and close relatives, then teachers, friends and later, our other-half... Father, we are living in such desperation, to obtain acceptance from others. Father, help us to choose, not our lives in such misery, help us to choose to live in Your love. For father, our hopes, dreams and future are in You and You alone. As Paul said "so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. (Ephesians 3:17-19)" Let us practice to love one another, as You have loved us.

In Christ's glorious Name we pray, Amen.
