God is With You: I kings 18:25
Have you felt that God is not with you when you are going through a struggle? Do you feel that life has dealt you a hand that is negative and unfair? It happens to everyone at some point in life. It’s life and thank God we don’t have to struggle alone.
In the book of Kings, God’s prophet, Elijah, had experienced a great victory over the prophets of the false god Baal. Elijah had challenged them to call on their god to bring fire on their sacrifice. It did not happen. He even mocked them and said, “shout a little harder, perhaps your god can't hear or is traveling.” Their false god failed them as they tried as hard as they could for a response. Once Elijah called on his God, the Lord of Israel, the fire came down and consumed the sacrifice.
The prophet Elijah had faith in his God that He would answer his prayer. Elijah wanted to prove that His God was the true God and God came through. After the great victory, Elijah was threatened by an evil queen named Jezebel. He, like many of us, went into fear and depression. The great prophet Elijah experienced what you may be going through today. Elijah went into hiding and complained to God that he was the only prophet left. God promptly told him that He had many more in hiding.
When you are struggling in life, call on your Savior the Lord God almighty, Who loves you so much and wants to come to your aid when you are faced with a challenge.
Believe that God is with you for you are not alone.
(John 3:16)

Personal Development Tip of the week:
If there is one thing in your life that you are working to make happen when it comes to your career, purpose, whatever it might be, here are a few things to consider when it comes to getting the result you are after.
Know your outcome or the result you are after: The more specific you are when it comes to the result you are after the greater you can see what you need to do in order to achieve it.
Take one action towards this outcome: This could be making a phone call, applying for that job you want, buying a book to help you in your career.
Evaluate: Evaluate the outcome of your actions to see if they worked or didn’t. A key thing to remember is whether the outcome of your action works or not it isn’t bad because you can learn from it and know what didn’t work. Feedback is never bad if use it going forward.
Change your approach: If your previous action did not work change your approach by taking a new action until you get what you want. Yes, it’s as simple as that. Just because something doesn’t work the first time doesn’t mean you can’t get what you are after you just have to keep going and taking new actions. Lastly, anything new you try typically doesn’t work on the first attempt.

Do you know Jesus?
If you have never asked Jesus to be the leader of your life and forgive you of all your sins, this is the right time to act. Pray this simple prayer and believe it in your heart: “Dear God, Your Word says that You loved me so much that You sent Your Son Jesus to die on the cross for me. I want to be saved and have all my sins forgiven, past, present, and future. Forgive me now as I receive Jesus as my personal Lord and Savior. You promised me salvation and an abundant life. I believe and receive Your free gift. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit and help me grow stronger in You each day, in Jesus name I pray, Amen.” (John 3:16)
