Power Tools: Prayer & Praise

Hello All!! It's been a while since I blogged! I've been super busy with work and family. But I've got a great message to share now that I'm back!

I want to pose a question this morning: Do you realize how much power you have? I'm talking about the kind of power to change situations you are in right now, power to change your atmosphere on the job, power to change the outcome of an illnesses that doctors may have diagnosed you with and power to get out of a financial situation that you may be trapped in. Yes you have the power to do this ALL! But it's important to realize that this power comes from God. When we invite God into our life we receive the power to do an abundance of things.

So how do we get this power? Easy...through prayer and praise. During bible study last week the pastor talked about making sure that we take time to pray in the MORNING everyday before we step out and face a new day. We when receive that covering from God during prayer there is nothing that get in our way to get us off track for the day.  For Psalm 91:4 says "He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection." In addition to prayer, praise is another great power tool. This morning on my way to work I had the best praise and worship in my car. During that time I was able to reflect on God and get in a state of mind where there is nothing or noone who can make me have a bad day! Psalm 35:2 says, "I'll tell the world how great and good you are, I'll shout Hallelujah all day, every day"!!

RECOGNIZE the POWER you have and USE IT EVERYDAY!

Be Blessed:)
