Nothing is like having a divine connection with God. Pray in your way at any time. Stand on no formality. Do not be ashamed to pray. If we ask anything according to His will, He hears us (1 John 5:14). Whatever you are going through you can always call on the name of Jesus. God answers prayers that are in agreement with His will. His answers are not always yes, but are always in our best interest. When our desires line up with His will, we will come to understand that in time. It will illumine you, heal you, prosper you, and bring you into such peace and joy as you have never known. See what the power of prayer can do for you. God does just what He promises, and in so doing His name is glorified.

Reminder: Prayer is simply a direct connection talking to God. 

I cannot tell you how reading the WORD is so important. To have an intimate moment with God we must stay in His Word and meditate day and night (Psalms 1:2). The Bible is a book of love to us. Reading the Bible shows us God’s character by teaching us to imitate Him. Teaching us how to love like Christ. How to do His Will by obeying Him. Learning about the gospel and the answers to our questions about Him. It guards you against false teachings, false teachers, and sin. Reading the Bible helps renew our minds by helping us to be fruitful to grow as believers.

Practicing the Word of God will show us how to love other people as Jesus has loved us. The Bible allows us to receive the desires of our hearts by hearing God’s voice. His Word gives us direction and encouragement.

Reading the Bible will help us discover the next steps that keep us from sin. Learning to love others with Christ-like love requires patience as well as a discerning and caring heart. Scripture helps us serve God better because of spiritual discipline. 

Reading self-development books can also help you find the healing path that is right for you. You can gain great information, and become inspired about new ways of living, of course with God by your side. 

Reminder: Before you read the Bible, tell God to speak to you through His Word.

Whatever we do in our daily living, we are to do it in a way that glorifies God (1 Corinthians 10:31). This includes the area of health and nutrition. I know you have heard of the saying, “You are what you eat.” What we put in our bodies has a great impact on how we feel. A lot of processed foods, high sodium, and high fructose products might taste good at the time but later it will leave you feeling sluggish. 

I know diets can be boring and there’s always a temptation to return to old habits but stay strong in the Lord. Not saying to go cold turkey in one day but taking one step at a time is a great approach to healthier living. Eating fresh fruits and vegetables to your diet, drinking 8 glasses of water daily will keep your body healthy. 

Our bodies belong to God. Ask God to help you to develop healthier habits and live a healthier lifestyle. Watch how good you will feel. God cares about our health. 

Reminder: We must educate ourselves and strive to make wise decisions about which foods are healthy and those that are unhealthy.

Don’t make exercise a half-hearted endeavor. By exercising you are glorifying God in your body because your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). When feeling lethargic, drained mentally and emotionally, physical activity will start flowing into those vibes to start making them feel good. Set lofty goals, create a plan, and then implement it. If anything, always remember to go to God in prayer. Trust Him and ask for help. He will guide you and give you strength.

Regular exercising can result in increased self-confidence, give us more energy to help others, improve sleep, and have life high- spiritedness. Doing little by little routines will add up. A little goes a long way. Whether you plan activities like walking, jogging, bike riding, swimming, or joining a gym the possibilities are never-ending. A healthy body can support a healthy mind and spirit. Having a healthy body will enable you to achieve your goals with the power, strength, energy, and vitality you will need to get the job done. 

Reminder: The reason we care for our bodies is not to prolong our own lives or gain popularity; it is because we value and desire to steward God's gift to us.
