Isaiah 41:10     Do not fear, for I am with you; do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, surely I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

1 Peter 5:6-7     Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

Jeremiah 32:17     Sovereign LORD , you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you.

Love and prayer are two of the most powerful things we possess. They are not designed to destroy, but to break through the darkness, creating a path for the light and love of Jesus Christ. As we face many situations each day, we have a tendency to disregard the power and ability of love and prayer. We get discouraged when we pray, only to see the situation unchanged or even worsen, and when we love, only to have it trampled on and thrown back at us. Yet something mighty is happening, though it may be unseen. When a bomb is dropped, the results are immediate. Our prayers bomb the spiritual realm, and while we don’t always see the repercussions of them, it does not lessen their effectiveness. We can’t allow ourselves to believe for one second, the love we extend and the prayers that go forth, are not making a huge difference in our personal situations and in the world. Each prayer makes a path of light for Christ to enter in, and each act of love touches a heart.

Remember -- God's hand IS there upholding you -- even if you can't see it right now!
