JESUS IS THE BREAD OF LIFE
And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.” – John 6:35
Let us feed our spirits with the spiritual food of the Word of God, pray earnest prayers and lift our praises to the Lord. In so doing, we find the strength to overcome in hard times. Oftentimes, when we are attacked from every direction, we are tempted to doubt the love of God. Only by staying close to Jesus, can we remain full of the love of the Lord, remain true and stay faithful to Him.
God’s love for us is perfect and never changes. God created man with free will, being free to choose between good and evil, and that is why we can hurt each other. When we face difficult situations, if we choose to remember when the Lord previously helped and even did miracles for us, we can extinguish the lies the enemy might have placed as thoughts in our minds, such as trying to convince us that God does not love us anymore, therefore the Lord is allowing pain and suffering in our lives. When we focus on the Lord and praise Him for who He is and what He has done for us, we increase our faith in the Lord and doubt cannot stay.
SUGGESTED PRAYER
Thank You Lord God, for everything You have done for me. Thank You that Your love for me is faithful and unconditional, because it is based on Your nature and not on my deeds. Your Word is Truth and the food for my soul that I require every day. Thank You Lord that in Jesus I have all I need, as He is the Word, the Bread of Life and the Truth. Please give me steadfastness in spirit, to study Your Word diligently, and help me enrich my spirit daily, to grow in faith and to trust in You no matter what! You deserve all glory, honor, love and worship! Amen
