Today is such a glorious day. I got a lot done as I listened to my favorite preachers.

Their messages are so edifying,  and I couldn’t wonder whether my messages are building you up in the faith as well.

Anyways, as I read Proverbs 15:25 from the  King James Version which says, “The LORD will destroy the house of the proud: But he will establish the border of the widow”; I have been pondering the correlation between the “house of the proud” and “the border of the widow “.

If you have some insights, kindly share them with us. 

However, it is so comforting to know that even though “The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD…the prayer of the upright is his delight” (Proverbs 15:8)

Soul Searchlight:

1).How is your prayer life?

2).Who is your go to person when you have a problem.

Your answer will show you in whom you have believed.

The person your mind goes to first when you have a problem, is the person your faith is in.

But if Prayer to God is your fist ‘go to’ when you are troubled or challenged, then you have faith in God.

There is room for improvement, so repent to God, and work on growing in faith. 

Aspire to become a better version of yourself spiritually and it will reflect on your physical world. 

Prayer is one way of growing in faith.

A prayerless Christian is powerless to handle challenges, because we generate spiritual power at the place of prayer.

Challenges are a part of life.

Every human being  has a fair share of them.

 But, the differences are in the resources the Christian has to overcome challenges. 

We are so blessed that God gave us a panoply of weapons with which to overcome challenges and still have life in all its fullness ( Read Ephesians 6:10-18).

Prayer is a very effective weapon because you can pray all manner of prayers and have the assurance that God delights in hearing your prayers (Ephesians 6:18; Proverbs 15:8).

Prayer to the Christian is what oxygen is for the living.

Sarah was despised because of her barrenness. But God heard her heart cries and all who laughed at her, laughed with her (Genesis 16:4,21:1-3,6).

Paul and Silas were imprisoned and placed in an inner dungeon, with feet clamped in stocks.

 But they prayed and sang hymns to God. 

Then God showed up strong and there was a supernatural jailbreak! (Read the story for yourself in Acts 16:16-34).

Prayer calls God’s power into play in your challenges.

If you have not been praying, you have not been using one of the most powerful weapons in your Spiritual arsenal. 

You can start today by praying always (Luke 18:1) 

Prayer is simply having a heart to heart discussion with God.

My prayer for you is that you will acknowledge God in all your ways, so that prayer will be like breathing to you,  in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.

Trust your day is going well.

You can send in your prayer requests. 

Tomorrow, our spiritual exercises of fasting, regular prayers, Bible readings and meditation continue.

Up next is Proverbs chapter 16:21-endm
