Come close to God and He will come close to you.
JAMES 4:8
As I read through the Word of God, one of the most encouraging things I see is that God desires to be in a close relationship with His people. From the very first chapters in the Garden of Eden to the last pages of Revelation, we see God reaching out to His people in order that we might live in intimate fellowship with Him.
Too many people today think of God as distant, uncaring, and out-of-reach. At best, they assume He is uninterested in them; at worst, they fear He is angry with them. But this isnt the God we see in Scripture. The Bible shows us that God is present in our circumstances. God spoke to Moses. He strengthened David. He provided for Ruth. He chose Mary. He walked with the disciples. He wept over Jerusalem. He forgave the thief on the cross. He gave Peter a second chance. He sent the Holy Spirit.
God isnt removed from your daily life. He sees what youre going through, and He wants to help you every step of the way.
Thats why Ive written this daily devotional. My desire is that each day you will be encouraged and strengthened by the truths, promises, and scriptures on each page. No matter what situation you are facing, I pray that each and every day you will be reminded that God loves you, He has a great plan for your life, and He is closer than you think.
Joyce Meyer
And when you pray, do not heap up phrases (multiply words, repeating the same ones over and over) as the Gentiles do, for they think they will be heard for their much speaking.
MATTHEW 6:7
I was dissatisfied with my prayer life for many years. I was committed to praying every morning, but I always felt something was missing. I finally asked God what was wrong, and He responded in my heart by saying, Joyce, you dont feel that your prayers are good enough. I wasnt enjoying prayer because I had no confidence that my prayers were acceptable.
Too often we get caught up in our own works concerning prayer. Sometimes we try to pray so long, loud, or fancy that we lose sight of the fact that prayer is really just conversation with God. The length or loudness or eloquence of our prayer is not the issue. The only important elements to prayer are the sincerity of our hearts and a confidence that God hears and will answer us.
We can be confident that even if we simply say, God help me, He hears and will answer. We can depend on God to be faithful to do what we have asked Him to do as long as our request is in accordance with His will.
Simple, believing prayer comes straight out of the heart and goes straight to the heart of God.
I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me [I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me; I am self-sufficient in Christs sufficiency].
PHILIPPIANS 4:13
So often, someone will come to me for advice and prayer, and when I tell them what the Word of God says, or what I think the Holy Spirit is saying, their response is, I know thats right; God has been showing me the same thing. But, Joyce, its just too hard. This is one of the most commonly expressed excuses I hear from people.
When I initially started reading in the Word of God about how I could become more like Jesus, and then compared it to where I was, I also said, I want to do things Your way, God, but it is so hard. God graciously showed me this is a lie the enemy tries to inject into our minds to get us to give up. But Gods commandments are never too difficult for us to follow if we do them through Christs strength.
Walking in obedience to God is not too hard because He has given us His Spirit to work in us powerfully and to help us in all He has asked of us (John 14:16). He is in us and with us all the time to enable us to do what we cannot do, and to do with ease what would be hard without Him!
Things get hard when we try to do them independently without leaning on and relying on Gods grace.
