Some time ago I prayed to God for authority. About who they are and how to become one. And God made it clear that I am already an authority for those who see him in me, and His calling is to pray for those who occupy leadership positions, regardless of their actions and inactions. God called me to stand up for those who are despised, humiliated, condemned. It is easy to point out the faults of others, but that is not God’s intention. If God has appointed a place, then God will work through everyone. God neither humiliates nor exalts anyone. Once this has happened, God has a plan for it. (Aivia)
Show proper respect to everyone, love the family of believers, fear God, honor the emperor. 1 Peter 2:17 NIV
My most holy testimony, although it didn’t seem so at first. To understand, I’ll explain in more detail, Kaspar and I built my house so that I don’t have to live in the city (we love the countryside), we saved every euro and invested in the house, we only work for the house, we didn’t buy anything. I remember that we also went to work additionally so that there were more euros that could be added to build a house. We both worked at official jobs, after work we went to the village to devote time to the house, of course, the weekend was already planned, we knew that no matter how much time we had, we would be at the house that would be built. But the most terrible day for us was January 13, when we woke up, drove off and saw that our house was simply destroyed by a hurricane, I remember, we even screamed in shock. I didn’t know that day that it was actually a wonderful day, God took care of everything, He does not leave His children in trouble. I pray every day, I know that Kaspar also prayed. A wonderful family came to us – Ainars and Ineta, who opened their hearts to us, trusted us and now help us in building a house, we are not only building a house again, but we also have wonderful, pious people in our lives. God loves. (Monta)
Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7 NIV
I communicate with God most often when I go to work. It’s always such a quiet time, 30 minutes of silence. When this happened, I cannot say, but once again I contacted God and asked what His plans were for me? Because it was a problem that didn’t leave me alone for some time. Surprisingly, the answer did not have to wait long! Literally a few days later I received a message from the pastor – Gunta, that the idea had already come to her 3 times, invite me to take part in the Mission Day for the sake of God’s purpose in my life. I participated in Storyline Mission Day organized in Kuldiga. At first I thought the content of the lectures was interesting, but that’s really not what I go for. I probably wanted to hear a simpler answer. What a simple task. But the more I think, the more I realize that I should have been there. Whether I was ready to hear is another question. In a word, the approximate goal is clear. I need to keep praying. (Alina)
I prayed for a while before the exams that there would be no stress and that I could show my knowledge at 100%. Now, although only the first exam was passed, everything went without stress, I feel good, I thank God for hearing my prayers. (Alice)
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9 NIV
I went to my brother to pick up the car that had undergone a technical upgrade, since today it was supposed to pass inspection. My brother didn’t make me happy at all, but he said that oil was leaking somewhere, he couldn’t fix it, so I wouldn’t pass technical inspections, but he fixed other things. I was told that it was necessary to change the timing belt with rollers and some kind of “gland”, whatever they were. The amount will be at least 300 euros. I realized that this is already a big expense. This must be done immediately, so there is no time to save. I go to CSDD with a heavy heart, I keep telling myself that this is not an exam and how will it be. I stand in line with my faithful car and tell God that I give EVERYTHING, ALL of it to Him, I do not want to fight and start counting something, I declare to myself that God will take care of me, there is nothing to complain about. I’m picking up the phone because I feel like I need an article to back it up, and today’s article is:
Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear.
Luke 12:22 NIV
I smile because I know that this is confirmation, everything will be fine, just believe. The technical inspection did not pass, but even there I experienced small miracles, because the handbrake that I did not use was blocked and the worker tightened it 4 times until everything happened, suddenly the door did not open, I just sighed and opened it from the inside. Item 1 was added to the protocol, stating that it was difficult to open the door. The brother said that he had never seen anything like it, that God really hears my prayers. But that’s not all. In the evening it turned out that on my car the belt with rollers does not need to be changed, since it is from the chain. Therefore, the costs will not even come close to the expected amount. God can be trusted. I was filled with joy that I had given my cares to God and received a reward. I passed the test. For whom this is nothing, for me it is the care of God the Father for me. (Gunta)
That’s right – an inexpressible thank you for teaching me godliness from my earliest days. God has always been with me. He cherished, forgave, restored and empowered me at any moment, hour or longer. Even after a few years, when I forgot Him. Jesus Christ has always protected me – may the Glory and Glory be with Him always. My first prayer I remember was for the shoes I lost. I fell to my knees in desperation and yes, I found him after a while! Thank you father! I’m going to heaven! I wrote this under the influence of Family Day. It is very important that parents teach them to pray and give thanks from an early age. (Ilga)
