In a Dark Hour!

An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him. And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.
Luke 22:43–44, NIV
In a Dark Hour
In the Garden of Gethsemane just a few hours before He was arrested and taken to be crucified, Jesus was under such pressure and anguish that His sweat became like great drops of blood. He was praying, “Father, I’m at My breaking point. If it’s possible, take this cup from Me.” But the Father was silent. At that point, an angel appeared and strengthened Him. Jesus had been deeply troubled and under great sorrow, but He became empowered with supernatural grace and peace to face the cross. He received everything He needed to finish His purpose.

You will never face what He did, but whenever you feel overwhelmed with pressure, you can know that God will send angels. All the forces of darkness cannot stop what God has purposed for your life. You may be in a dark hour, you don’t see how you can face what’s in front of you. God has already dispatched the angels. He’s about to breathe strength and power and endurance into your spirit. You’re going to come out, not the same, but in the power of the Spirit.
A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You that when the difficulties in my way look bigger, stronger, and overwhelm me, You send the angels to help. Thank You that the forces of darkness can never keep me from my purpose. I believe that You have supernatural grace and the power of the Spirit for me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

        Give Cheerfully “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”  (2 Corinthians 9:7) When giving is done with the right attitude, it can be a gateway for God to move in significant ways in our lives. It is important to remember that it is not the amount we give that matters so much as it is the attitude that characterizes our giving. God loves it when we give out of a cheerful and grateful heart. God’s loving of a cheerful giver results in God taking action in our lives. Scripture states unequivocally that God will make all spiritual and earthly blessing abound to us so we can multiply our efforts for the kingdom. This is why I believe giving provides a major gateway for God to work in our lives, we can expect God to visit us. Jesus will fellowship with the cheerful giver, and the Holy Spirit will impart life to out mortal bodies. When we weave a pattern of giving...

  The Best Anxiety Preventive Memorize and Meditate “ Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you. ” (James 1:21) Soak your Heart For the Word of God to work in our heart, we need to make sure we have a clean heart, free from the control of sin. This is why we confess and repent of our sin to restore a working relationship with God. One of the best protections against sin gaining control is to humbly accept and plant the Word in our heart. God’s Word can save us from fear, anxiety, and a host of other maladies seek to control us. The Psalmist said he hid God’s Word in his heart so he would not sin against God. We want to soak our heart in the Word. Sow to the Spirit As I meditate on these concepts, I want to sow them to the Spirit by praying them into my heart and soul. I ask God to implant his Word deeply within my inner being. His Word is food for my spirit and soul. More times than I can re...
