ENCOURAGEMENT

Sometimes all that’s needed is a little encouragement and ears that hear “The right word spoken at the right time is as beautiful as gold apples in a silver bowl. (Proverbs 25:11)” We are always in a rush, and since technology, we hardly ever talk to each other anymore; so it’s hard to tell if a person is having a hard time and need a little encouragement or someone to talk too. Communicate daily take time to listen to your children, spouse, family, and friends, although they’re not always saying something.   If we take time to listen to those that God sends to us for encouragement, we will know what to say to lift them up.  The right words at the right time could save a life, mend a marriage, or give someone peace.

Father, help us be better listeners especially when it comes to our family so we will not miss an opportunity to encourage them and help them with any situation.  Lord, help us with time management so we will always have a few minutes to talk and pray with those that need an ear or shoulder to cry on.  Lord, we all need a little encouragement sometimes, especially through Spiritual warfare; that most times we are not prepared for and need that extra encouragement.  Lord, guide us to someone that needs to be encouraged today so we can help make them become stronger and able to stand on Your Word.  Father, open our hearts and minds to Your wisdom and the knowledge to implement You in our witness.  So, they will receive the Truth and transforming power of Your grace, in Jesus name Amen
