In the fourth watch of the night, Jesus came to them, walking on the sea. When the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, "It's a ghost!" and they cried out for fear. But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying "Cheer up! I AM! Don't be afraid." Peter answered him and said... -
Anchor of the Soul from Refreshing Hope Ministries on Vimeo. When people lose hope, they lie down and die. They lose the will to live and fight any longer. Hopelessness is utter despair, the belief that nothing good will happen. When you begin to think like this, it will bring a desire to die. A ...

The Pharisees and the scribes asked him, "Why don't your disciples walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with unwashed hands?" He answered them, "Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honors me with their lips, But their heart is far f...

The Lone Ranger
-
Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings. 1 Peter 5:8 WEB
When a pack of lions hunt water buffalo, they follow the herd and watch it a while. They pick out a straggler that is off on its own, or separate one from the rest of the herd. The lions are not interested in a fight, they are just looking for an easy meal. They do not dare confront the entire herd because they would be trampled to death. There is strength and protection in numbers.
Our enemy walks about like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. As a Christian, this means that the lone ranger becomes a lonely stranger, and a prime choice for the enemies lunch. Be sure that you have Christian friends in your life. You need people who will pray with you, help protect you from attacks, encourage you, add happiness and strength. People who are still there when the others are gone.
Fellowship with one another is important. During some very dark times in our life, we had friends that prayed for us every day, when I no longer had the strength to. Their prayers pulled me through, and eventually I got back on my feet. At other times, they were in need of prayer and we prayed with them.
Try to get involved in activities with other Christians. If you are able, start serving at a local church, join a life group, attend a Bible study, intercessory prayer, soon you will have many friends. If you have no church to go to, then participate in our online church here at www.refreshinghope.org. Make some friends. Know that our adversary seeks out those walking alone, and he loves an easy target.
Prayer: Heavenly Father please help me to find my place in the body of Christ. Put the people in my life that should be there. Bring encouragement and hope back to my life and guide me to where I need to be, in the name of Jesus Christ I pray.
Note: "And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord's people" (Ephesians 6:18). If you have a prayer need, we are here for you! We and the prayer team are ready to lift you up at our private prayer page: RHM Prayer Network> You can subscribe to our daily devotional here <
