A prayer for strength

Sometimes the weight of life feels like a lot. And not just days like today when I need to go to the dentist. Maybe you are feeling the effects of an attack from the enemy. Maybe this season of life was not what you expected. The surprising weight seemed to come out of nowhere.

At the same time, just because God has given us an assignment does not mean that it will be easy. We may be amazed at how challenging it actually is to accomplish. But as we think about what to do in the midst of those challenges we find a short prayer from Nehemiah that any of us can pray. Will you pray this prayer today?

 

Alex Kendrick-Defined-Who God Says You Are

My guest today is Alex Kendrick. If you were to look him up you would find many hats that he wears: producer, director, actor, speaker, author. He is best known for the films that he produced with his brothers (the Kendrick brothers as they are known). Movies like Facing the Giants, Fireproof and War Room. The latest one is Overcomer  and in this conversation we talk about the companion book: Defined (and the other resources connected with it). We also talk about an important topic in our world today: identity. It gets to the very core of things.

A prayer for the help of others

We can’t do life alone. We were not designed that way. It is also true that in order to accomplish all that God has for us we are going to need the help of others. This help can come in many forms and can almost feel life saving. It could the encouragement of friendship, it could be a peer working side by side with us on an important project.

I have found it also true that sometimes that help is needed by someone further along than I am currently. Maybe it is a mentor who gives me some advice that changes the course of my life. Maybe it is a leader that opens a door for me. How about you? Maybe it is a boss that you need some help from to go to the next level. In this short video we continue our series on short prayers that make a difference in our lives.
