There is no need to worry about our trials. God is faithful to respond to our every need and request. We were made for fellowship with him even in our heaviest times. 

Scripture makes it clear that the Lord wants to talk to every one of us. First, though, we must stop all activity. Only then will we hear him speak clearly to our hearts.

The strength, power and encouragement believers receive from the Lord in prayer while shut in with him must see us through the trials ahead.

If Nehemiah could go to a pagan king with a sad countenance and yet find favor beyond imagination, how much more will King Jesus show compassion to each of us?

Christ likens his relationship with his people to that of a husband and wife, and the Bible says Jesus delights in us, so what should a healthy relationship with God look like. 

Many Christians pray only out of a sense of obligation. They think of prayer as something they are “supposed” to do, but God longs to hear from us.

Once a believer’s tongue and lips are truly purged, we will never again want to speak anything that is unlike Jesus. The words that flow from us will be pure.

God will reach his mighty hand into a repentant believer’s heart and pluck out all roots of fear so that he will know the immeasurable favor and blessing of God.

The repentant Christian can be overwhelmed by sorrow and weariness. However, the Lord always comes to touch his body, to give him renewed peace and strength.

No matter what sins believers fall into, God is ready to come and bring us out of our despair, to break everything that binds us and set us free, as soon as we cry out to him.
