    In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.

A Second Wind

  • Even the youths faint and get weary, and the young men utterly fall; but those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint. Isaiah 40:30 WEB

    I sat in the corner of my prayer room and wondered how I got here, too exhausted to pray anymore. Out of work while the bills piled up around us, there was not much in the natural to be happy about. I thought why even bother, months of praying with my face to the carpet has come to nothing. Now that we were packing to move from our home, I felt abandoned and alone.

    As I sat there in silence, suddenly I had a vision. It was like a dream but I was wide awake. I was standing in a boxing ring putting on gloves. The Lord was behind me, outside of the ring and He said, 'You're not alone for I am in your corner and I have prepared you for this day, now get in there and fight!' I came out of my prayer room with a renewed hope and at peace. I told my wife that it was going to be ok, I don't know how, but it will because one word from God changes everything.

    By the end of the week I had the greatest job ever: I became a pastor. Also a friend suddenly stepped in and paid all of our bills for the month. When all of my strength was gone, He refreshed me, He gave me hope. Young men may fall exhausted, but those who wait (hope) in the Lord shall renew their strength. The fight is not over and you are not out of the game yet. Get back up and go another round.

    Prayer: Heavenly Father, I thank You for being there for me. Please cover me with Your presence today. I need You Lord more than ever before. I want to walk with You, talk with You, and to know You in a special way. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray.

When I read your fun Bible fact of the day (Almonds and Pistachios are the only nuts mentioned in the bible.), the thought went through my mind that the closer you examine the characters between the front cover of the Bible and the back cover of the Bible, the more it looks like a can of mixed nuts.

Pastor Dion Thank you for this encouraging and hopeful message. (Do not give up. Have faith, God is with you always.) We all go through difficult times and get to the point where we want to give up. Your message gives us hope. Thank you. I pray your prayer. Amen.
