HUMILITY BRINGS ANSWERS TO YOUR PRAYERS

 "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." Psalm 34:18 (NIV) 


Have you ever wondered why you pray so much yet feel like God is silent? His Word says He is near to the brokenhearted, so why doesn’t He answer when you cry?

The one person God never ignores is someone with a broken and contrite heart. This refers to a person who is in pain, sorrow, or distress and is also Humble. Having both brokenness and humility invites God’s help quickly.

Many cry out to God, but they lack humility. No matter how difficult your situation may be, what moves God to help is the humility in your heart, not the sufferings you are experiencing.

People pray and cry to God because life’s challenges have broken them—some lack jobs, and others face rejection, sickness, or suffering. Perhaps you, too, are dealing with something heavy. But it is very rare for someone to cry because of sin. Adam made a great mistake, and we have not seen him in the Scriptures regretting or crying because of what he did.

Now here’s the question: Do you take the things of God seriously? Are you following His instructions? Are you obeying His Word and listening to the Holy Spirit?

Humility is shown in obedience and submission to what God has commanded. The person God is near to and answers swiftly is one who obeys His Word. When such a person, brokenhearted and distressed, cries out to God, He answers quickly.

Prayer: Lord Jesus, I ask for a humble heart that obeys Your commands, so You may be close to me and help me whenever I call. Amen.

THE WISEST THING TO DO IN YOUR LIFE

  Daniel 12:3 (GNT) says, “The wise leaders will shine with all the brightness of the sky. And those who have taught many people to do what is right will shine like the stars forever.” This verse speaks about the reward God will give His faithful people on the last day. Those who live with wisdom and lead others to righteousness will shine like stars in the sky—forever. What a powerful promise! Today, I want to teach you how to be wise so you can receive this reward. The Bible says in James 1:5 (NKJV), “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God...”  This means wisdom comes from God, and He is willing to give it to anyone who asks. When you receive God’s wisdom, you will learn how to live the right way and make decisions that please Him. You will also have the power to guide others. The wisest thing you can ever do in life is to preach the Gospel—to help people turn away from sin and accept Jesus Christ. That is the kind of wisdom that brings eternal rewards. Also, if you ...

DO NOT COMPARE YOURSELF TO OTHERS

  "I know what it is to be poor or to have plenty, and I have lived under all kinds of conditions. I know what it means to be full or to be hungry, to have too much or too little. Philippians 4:12 CEV" God’s purpose for humankind is for everyone to succeed, but each person has their own season. Just as each flower blooms in its own time, each of us has a time set by God. When that season comes, God will make you prosper. Until then, keep praying and working hard, trusting in His timing. When you look at your peers, former classmates, family members, or others in your age group and see their success, it’s easy to start comparing. Maybe a friend just built a new house or got a high-paying job, or perhaps someone you know is getting married. If you feel like you’ve achieved more, you may feel good about yourself. But if you feel like you’re still “behind,” it’s easy to feel discouraged and inadequate. This is where your perspective can become distorted. Some people think they ar...
