  Reflection on John 16:24 "Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete."  — John 16:24 This verse is a powerful reminder of the privilege we have as God’s children—to come before Him in prayer and trust that He hears us. Jesus spoke these words to His disciples, encouraging them to pray in His name, with the assurance that God would answer. Prayer is not just about asking for things; it is about deepening our relationship with God.  He desires to bless us, guide us, and fill us with His joy.

What This Verse Teaches Us About Prayer and Faith God Wants Us to Ask  – Sometimes, we hesitate to pray because we feel unworthy or doubt that God will answer.

This continuous rumination can drain our energy, diminish our peace, and rob us of the joy we are meant to experience in life. The enemy often uses overthinking as a tool to distract u...

  God promised something better along the way, so don’t be in a hurry God understands your feelings better than anyone does. He knows the cry of your heart and the clamour in your mind. He understands the noise that has been bothering you all this time. He knows your heartaches and pain. He understands the innermost part of you that you find confusing. He won’t rush you to feel better right away, for He understands that a person’s feelings and pain take time to process and be accepted. But, He is aware, and He sees the things that are in your journey right now. He sees your doubts, acknowledges your fear, and knows your worries. God is so patient with you. So, recognize His presence and let Him reign in your heart.  Accepting the changes in your life takes time and process, the same as feeling okay. Let yourself mourn and grieve over the things that make you cry. Let your tears freely flow, and let them release some of the pain. Life is tough but remember that there are still ...
