Raise your eyes quickly to Him !

Search the Scriptures

Abraham looked up and saw a ram behind him. Genesis 22.13

"...incurring a twenty-year sentence for acts of armed robbery...". This is what the warrant of committal that the investigating judge had issued to me stipulated. This document stayed in front of me for months, so it reminded me every day of the long sentence I risked serving. Nevertheless, after giving my life to Jesus Christ, I decided to raise my eyes to Him and invoke Him to unblock this situation. And do you know what happened ? After seven months, this same investigating judge decided to temporarily release me!

When you face a problem, does it keep you from looking to God ? Does it take up a disproportionate place in your heart, thus absorbing your spiritual vitality ?

Some difficulties are so important to us that they lead us to imagine a disaster scenario. They throw us into fear and anguish, thinking of the consequences that could arise. Is this your case ?

God isn't asking you to live in denial like no problem exists, He's asking you to lay your worries in His hands and trust Him. So, just like Abraham, do not delay and look up to Him, He has already prepared the solution you need.

Listen the voice of God

Let's take the time to listen to what God wants to say. Perhaps you are going through a moment when everything seems blocked to you ? Turn your gaze to God.

Praying is simple. Speak to God as you would your closest friend. God loves you and he can hear everything. Here is an example of a prayer : “Lord, the psalmist wrote : “I lift up my eyes to the mountains, where will my help come from ? Help comes to me from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.” Yes, I declare it, help comes to me from you. Amen !"

Praise God

Praise God for all the situations that he has miraculously unlocked in your life : a file that has been pending for too long, a large refund, a job that was slow to materialize...

Act today

If you are in a stuck situation, decide to look up to God. Position yourself inwardly and declare out loud, in your room or in front of your loved ones, that you have the certainty that God is acting in your favor.

Honor the Lord

Our journey for the day ends. Let us pray together to honor our God.

"Lord, thank you for you are a God of hope. Yours is the reign, the power and the glory, amen !"
