Jesus taught, "…I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you" (Matthew 17:20).
The power of prayer is not the result of the person praying. Rather, the power resides in the God who is being prayed to. 1 John 5:14-15 tells us, "This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us - whatever we ask - we know that we have what we asked of him." No matter the person praying, the passion behind the prayer, or the purpose of the prayer - God answers prayers that are in agreement with His will. His answers are not always yes, but are always in our best interest.

You give and take away
You give and take away
But my heart will choose to say
Lord, blessed be Your name
you make everything glorious
This is where you draw the line
This is where the old you ends
Gets left behind
Welcome to forever
This is where you disappear
And you come alive
So this is life
Life is in the letting go
Life is in the sacrifice
Life is when you lose control
It's when you die
When you and I embrace surrender
When you and I choose to believe
Then you and I will see who we were meant to be
"And David turned away from Eliab..." (1 Samuel 17:30, AMP)
When David was a shepherd boy, his father asked him to take lunch to his brothers out on the battlefield. When he arrived, he heard Goliath taunting and challenging the people of God. David asked the men standing around, “What is the prize for defeating this giant?” They said, “The reward is one of the king’s daughters in marriage and no more taxes.” That got David’s attention. He knew this was a battle worth fighting.
When David’s older brother, Eliab, heard him talking about fighting the giant, he tried to embarrass him. In front of all those men Eliab said, “David, what are you doing out here? And what have you done with those few sheep our father left you with?” He tried to make him feel small. He was saying, “David, you’re not important. You’ll never do anything great.” But I love the way David responded. The Scripture says that David turned and walked away from Eliab.
I believe one of the main reasons that David was a champion is because he knew which battles to fight. He knew to turn away from discouraging voices so he could focus his energy on the real battle. Today, what are the discouraging voices coming against you? Choose to turn away from those distractions so you can turn toward the victory God has in store for you!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father God, I humbly come to You today releasing all my cares and concerns and focusing on the plan You have for me. Help me to turn away from the discouraging voices so that I can walk in the victory You have for me. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Scattered words and empty thoughts
Seem to pour from my heart
I've never felt so torn before
Seems I don't know where to start
But its now that I feel your grace fall like rain
From every fingertip washing away my pain
I still believe in your faithfulness
I still believe in your truth
I still believe in your holy word
Even when I don't see, I still believe
Though the questions still fog up my mind
With promises I still seem to bear
Even when answers slowly unwind
It's my heart I see you prepare
But its now, that I feel, your grace fall like rain
From every fingertip washing away my pain
I hear the spirit speak whispering my name
Gentle as a butterfly
In a violent hurricane
I feel the spirits breath free me from the net
Flying from captivity
And the life I called a wreck
I hear the spirit speak a voice behind my eyes
It's time for a brand new song to sing
Now I'm saying my goodbyes
I'm an eagle rider flying on your wings
And you take me higher to your beauty I will cling
I'm an eagle rider when I fly above the winds
And I'm climbing higher, so much higher than I've been
I see the world below spinning in the breeze
The giants seem much smaller here
Now I'm living in my dreams
I love the spirits voice it's teaching me to fly
It's time for a rediscovery
As I fall into the sky
I'm Going up, not coming down, I'm Going up, not coming down.
I feel much lighter here, much brighter here,
when I'm with You.
I feel much lighter here, much brighter here.
Hello, hello, goodbye.

the same power that conquered the grave lives in me, lives in me.
Your love that rescued the earth lives in me, lives in me. ~~
"let not the wise man boast of his wisdom
or the strong man boast of his strength
or the rich man boast of his riches,
but let him who boasts boast about this:
that he understands and knows me,
that I am the LORD,
who exercises kindness,
justice and righteousness on earth,
for in these I delight,"
declares the LORD.
- Jeremiah 9: 23-24
There's a wave that's crashing over me
And all I can do is surrender
Whatever You're doing inside of me
It feels like chaos but somehow there's peace
It's hard to surrender to what I can't see
but I'm giving in to something Heavenly
You're up to something bigger than me
Larger than life something Heavenly
i got another summer vacation scheme- with herbert smith. 3 internships this summer! >.<
who are we that You would be mindful of us?
what do You see that's worth looking our way?
we are free in ways that we never should be,
sweet release from the grip of these chains.
like hinges straining from the weight,
my heart no longer can keep from singing.
all that is within me cries for You alone be glorified,
Emmanuel God with us.
my heart sings a brand new song,
the debt is paid these chains are gone,
Emmanuel God with us.
Lord You know our hearts don't deserve Your glory,
still You show a love we cannot afford.
like hinges straining from the weight,
my heart no longer can keep from singing.
Such a tiny offering compared to Calvary
nevertheless we lay it at your feet.
