Let no man say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God," for God can't be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one. But each one is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed. Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin; and the sin, when it is full grown, brings forth dea... -
By faith Noah, being warned about things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared a ship for the saving of his house, through which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith. By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed to go out to the place which ...

Blessed is the man who doesn't walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stand in the way of sinners, Nor sit in the seat of scoffers; But his delight is in Yahweh's law; On his law he meditates day and night. He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water, That brings forth its fruit in its se...

Keep the Fire Burning
-
Now when Solomon had finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and Yahweh's glory filled the house. 2 Chronicles 7:1 WEB
When the Israelites built the tabernacle and the altar under the guidance of Moses, God lit the fire (Leviticus 9:23). Then the priests were ordered to never let the flame go out. They were to put new wood on it each morning (Leviticus 6:12). Later, when they built the temple of Solomon, God lit that fire too, and then the priests were ordered to keep the fire burning continuously.
God starts the fire inside of each of us when we first come to Him, but we are to keep the fire burning. You can take an ember out of a roaring fire and set it on the mantle by itself, and when it is alone, it will soon grow cold. If you place it back into the fireplace with the other embers, then it will glow hot again.
Daily prayer, worship, study, hearing the word of God, and being around others that have the fire, will all help keep your inner fire burning. God started it, but we have to keep the fire burning. Don't stop. Don't give up. No one said that it would be easy. Adam and Eve lived in the garden, but everyone since then has struggled just like us. If you have never been through anything, then you don't have much to share with others. You can do this and with God's help you will make it through.
Prayer: Heavenly Father please light the fire inside of me and give me the grace to keep it burning. I welcome You into my life Lord Jesus. Shine Your love through me. Teach me all about You, I want to know every detail. Please guide my steps, open the doors that I should go through and close the doors that I should stay out of, in Your name I pray.
