Praise the Lord, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name
– Psalm 103:1
We are so blessed that our God is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love. He satisfies us with all good things and renews our youth like an eagle’s .
A couple months back I had a severe allergic reaction to a food while having lunch , it caused the throat and airways to get choked up and even breathing was difficult via the mouth . I understood the gravity of the situation and quickly left the dining table to avoid causing panic to my family members . I went to my room and at that moment of total helplessness prayed to the Lord , the Holy Spirit gave me promise verses to claim and pray with according to Psalm 118:17 “ I shall not die, but live and declare the works of the Lord” and also
By that time my family members realized that something is not right and came to my room and I realized that if I had taken an allergy medication or gone to hospital it would have taken at least 20-30 minutes to get relief and at that moment every second was vital because there was difficulty in breathing and the result might not have been good . Though I was surrounded by family they were almost in a helpless situation to help me “ for the help of man is worthless , with God we will gain the victory” Psalm 60:11-12 . And we all know “if God is with us who can be against us” – Romans 8:31 and “No weapon forged against you will prosper “– Isaiah 54:17
Such a wonderful miracle God showed in my life , I didn’t have to take any medication or even visit the doctor , the word of God healed me and saved me . Such a powerful and wonderful God we have , for He says “ I am the Lord, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me ?”
Yes Lord nothing is hard for you , for everything is possible through you , in you and with you . Amen
When we claim God’s promise verses in our prayers , it makes prayers more powerful . For we know in the armour of God , the only offensive weapon we have to fight the enemy is the “sword of the Spirit , which is the word of God “– Ephesians 6:17
When I was scared and helpless the Holy Spirit brought to my mind all these wonderful and powerful promise verses . Even though I wasn’t able to pray or speak properly , I just claimed these promise verses and the Lord Almighty healed me instantaneously . Such loving mercy !!
So it is extremely important to read the Bible , the Word of God . Because if we do not read and know the word of God , how can be pray according to God’s will . When we read and meditate on the Bible verses , the Holy Spirit speaks to us through these beautiful promise verses for Jesus says in John 14:26 “ the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you “
Prayer
Loving Heavenly Father , Lord we trust in you with all our heart and we will not lean on our own understanding . In all our ways we will acknowledge you and you will make all our paths straight . Yes Lord, we will worry about nothing but pray about everything with thanksgiving , and the peace of the Lord which transcends human understanding will come and guard our hearts and minds as we live in Christ Jesus
