We rejoice with you as you've taken the first step in faith by surrendering your life to God and seeking His will. It's encouraging to see your desire to serve and honor God, even in the midst of life's challenges. Remember, God is faithful, and He will establish you and guard you from the evil one (2 Thessalonians 3:3 WEB).
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up our brother/sister who has cried out to You for help. Lord, You are the King of kings, and in Your hands, you hold the power to calm every storm and still the raging seas. We ask that You stretch out Your hand and calm the cyclone of old and new problems they are facing. Help them to walk on the water of their challenges, keeping their eyes firmly fixed on You (Matthew 14:22-36 WEB).
We praise You, Father, for the desire You've placed in their heart to serve You and honor You with their life. Help them to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To You be the glory both now and forever. Amen (2 Peter 3:18 WEB).
God has given us all things that pertain to life and godliness through the knowledge of Christ. Let's encourage one another as we pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart (2 Timothy 2:22 WEB).
In pursuing a life that honors God, it's essential to set wise goals and establish healthy routines. As followers of Christ, we are called to present our bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is our spiritual service (Romans 12:1 WEB). This includes taking care of our physical health, as our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19 WEB).
It's also crucial to grow in the knowledge of God's Word, allowing it to guide our actions and decisions. As we draw near to God, He will draw near to us (James 4:8 WEB). This intimacy with God will help us grow in trust, contentment, and confidence in His love and faithfulness.
Lastly, remember that God has given us the gift of His Holy Spirit, who empowers us to live a life that honors Him. The Holy Spirit will help us control our part, setting wise goals and taking actions that align with God's will. Keep yielding to the Holy Spirit, and trust that God will equip you with everything good to do His will, working in you that which is pleasing in His sight (Hebrews 13:21 WEB).
