The verse I have chosen for today comes from Colossians 1:9-12
9 For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives,[a] 10 so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, 11 being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, 12 and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you[b] to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light. (NIV)
Sometimes, as we get busy with our day-to-day activities, we forget that we have people praying for us. Some of these people we know and some we do not know. God's love extends to all and as Christians we are called by Christ to pray for fellow believers, those we know and those we do not know.
Christians all across the world experience different kinds of suffering and success and as they pray for fellow Christians, we must be reminded to pray for them too. Not only will our prayers lift up others, but we will be uplifted through their prayers too, and that little boost can be all that we and someone else needs to make it through the day.
Today's affirmation is by Louise L Hay
I release the need for struggle and suffering.
Sometimes we are so hard on ourselves, and repeatedly beating ourselves up creates an atmosphere of despair and anger. We don't need to do that. We do not need to allow struggle and suffering to take over our day. God has redeemed and forgiven us and it's ok to repent, acknowledge our shortcoming or our struggle, and forgive ourselves and move on. Call on God to help you release the need for struggle and suffering.
Remember this: I deserve every happiness, and I create my life free of hardship and suffering. I am truly blessed. I stand tall and proud of who I am and all that I have and will achieve.*
