Devotion
How much more will God give you?
David Jacobs

I never wanted anything when I was a child. My parents were generous but did not spoil my siblings and me, and we were lucky to live a comfortable life. My parents made sacrifices that still amaze me, giving up much of their youth that many people cling to like a life preserver in the sea. However, my parents don't view it as a sacrifice at all; instead, they see it as a fulfillment of their dream, being able to raise great children in a happy family.

My parents have a great attitude about it, and it is one that I am sure many people wish their parents also had. I was fortunate, but we all are. For our Father in heaven, hallowed be His name, will give more than my parents could ever dream of. No matter our plight in life, God is waiting patiently for us to ask Him for something.

Prayer

What we ask for is up to us. If you asked me for some food and I gave you a chair, it wouldn't make any sense. God does not fool us; He does ...

Morning Prayer 

And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.

Inspiration 

God has calmed storms in our lives on multiple occasions. When the winds are fierce, and we feel there is no help to come, God moves the thunder clouds out and restores our peace of mind. He is loving, compassionate, and caring. God never leaves us to fend for ourselves. We are thankful for His love and devotion as He soothes ravenous storms that will destroy us. We lift praises to the heavens for His unfailing love and affection.

Prayer 

Dear God, You calm the storms brewing in our hearts and give us peace that passes all understanding. We are thankful for Your love and devotion during our struggles and hardships. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Night Prayer 

But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.

Inspiration 

When faced with the opportunity to tell a stranger about Jesus, what will we say? Word selection is crucial, and we fear leaving something important out. We often freeze up in moments we could be sharing the Gospel. We can be confident in our words because God grants salvation to everyone, and He wants every heart to have the choice to follow Him. Knowing this, we call upon His Spirit, and He gives us all the words necessary. We will not be concerned about how to spread the Word because God will help us every step of the way.

Prayer 

Dearest Heavenly Father, we call upon Your Spirit for the words to share Your promise of salvation in any given moment. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
