Joyce
   I will be praying for your family during this difficult time.  This message is absolutely the truth.  Relying on ourselves and our own strength is beyond risky.  We need to always seed God's guidance on our decisions, our steps and seek his strength in our daily lives.
   Thank you for sharing this message.

Diana Figueroa, Esq.

Desperate for Him
It’s tempting to think we’re strong, we’re capable, and “we’ve got this.” But in reality, we are powerless on our own. We desperately need God—every moment of every day.

We wouldn’t be here if He didn’t create us. We wouldn’t live if He didn’t sustain us. We wouldn’t flourish if He didn’t guide, protect, and empower us.

The author of 1 Chronicles knew the importance of depending on God. He said:

“Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually!”
1 Chronicles 16:11 ESV

In a world that’s constantly focused on itself, it’s crucial to recognize our need to depend on God. We need His strength, we need His power, and—to put it simply—we just need Him!

If you’re feeling confident in your own self-sufficiency, ask yourself: Who made this world? Who created my body, my mind, and my soul? My eyes, my legs, my lungs? Who has the power to save—or to destroy? Who holds the keys to life?

Just as we continually need air, we need the power and presence of God to sustain our every move.

So how can we seek His strength and presence continually? By staying connected to Him: talking to Him throughout the day, prioritizing Him in the midst of busy schedules, humbly asking for His power.

God will never deny a heart that is genuinely seeking Him.

So come to Him with your weakness and He will give you strength. Come to Him with your questions, your needs, and your wants, and He will give you Himself. And that is the very best thing of all.

I come to Him asking for comfort and strength as my family lays my younger sister, Debbie, to rest in NJ.  Please pray for the Michael/Taylor family.  Thank you.
