Are you asking correctly?

When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.
- James 4:3

Imagine a child asking his father for a new pair of sneakers after coming home from school. The father, curious about the request, wonders, “Are his sneakers old? Are they worn out?” So he asks his son why he wants them, but is surprised by the answer: “To make my classmates jealous.”

In that situation, what do you think would be the right response from the father? To buy the sneakers or not? Most likely, he would not buy them for those reasons, and he would also talk to the child about the situation.

When you bring your requests before the Lord, He sees the intentions of your heart. Even if you do not say them out loud, He already knows them. James teaches that we do not receive some of our requests because we ask with wrong, selfish, and sinful motives. Examine your heart before making your requests, and ask for the right things!

Make a Request!

Think about your main requests to God, the things you spend the most time praying about.
Now examine the motives behind them. Are they driven by status, pleasure, pride, or genuine need?
Ask the Holy Spirit for guidance to recognize this and to shine light on the reasons within your heart.

Prayer

Lord Jesus, enlighten my heart so I may see the motives behind my requests. Am I asking wrongly? Please, my Lord, help me and teach me how to pray as I should. I ask this in the name of Jesus, amen!

Yesterday's Devotional

All things work together for the good of those who love God

It is interesting how God works. Sometimes we do not understand how He uses difficult circumstances in our lives to promote our good. It may seem contradictory, but when we are most vulnerable, we become more like Christ and more dependent on God.

The Bible tells us that in weakness we are strong, in sadness we have joy, and when we are lost we find the right way: Jesus Christ.

Those who love God can have this confidence: the sufferings they face cannot compare with the greater good that the Lord has prepared for those who were called according to His purpose. It is a good that goes beyond the good things of this life. It does not exempt us from afflictions in this world, but it is the grace of being able to live according to Christ until He comes to take us to be with God eternally.

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, whohave been called according to his purpose..
- Romans 8:28

Things that will contribute to your good

First, it is necessary to love God and know His plan revealed in Jesus Christ.
Seek to love Him and know Him through the Bible and through a personal relationship with Jesus.
Pray, trusting that God takes care of you even in suffering.
Believe that no trial is greater than the power of God.
Even when you do not understand, believe that God is in control of every circumstance.

Prayer

Father, I love You and thank You for Your Word. Thank You because all things work together for the good of those who love You. Even in the midst of pain, I know that You are present and care for me. You are working on a much greater purpose. Help me to trust and depend on You more, becoming each day more like Christ. Amen.

Day Before Yesterday's Devotional

Starting the Day with God

Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
- Lamentations 3:22–23

Starting the day with God is the key to living a meaningful and purposeful life. Each morning gives us a fresh opportunity to renew our relationship with our Creator and strengthen our faith.

The Bible reminds us in Lamentations 3:22–23 that God's mercies are new every morning. This means that with each new day, we are blessed with another opportunity to experience His love, grace, and guidance.

Beginning the day with God involves setting aside time for prayer and reading Scripture. It is a time of reflection and fellowship, when we can bring our concerns before Him and thank Him for His blessings. This prepares us to face the challenges of the day with confidence and peace, knowing that He is with us.

Starting the day with God also helps us keep our focus on Christian values such as love, forgiveness, and compassion. As a result, we become better instruments of His will here on earth.

The importance of beginning the day with God cannot be overstated. It is a constant reminder that He is the center of our lives and that, with His guidance, we can face any adversity.

May we wake up each morning with grateful hearts and a willingness to follow His ways, seeking His will in every area of our lives.

Start the Day Well ☀️

Set aside time each morning to pray and read the Bible, strengthening your fellowship with God.
Begin the day by thanking Him for His blessings and entrusting your concerns and challenges to Him.
Keep your focus on God throughout the day by acting with love, forgiveness, and compassion in every situation.

Prayer

Lord, Each morning I renew my faith in You. Thank You for Your mercies that are new every day. Guide me as I seek to live this day with love, grace, and compassion. May my life reflect Your will in all that I do. Amen.

Have a blessed day!

What is the Daily Devotional

The Daily Devotional is a special moment of your day that you dedicate to having a precious time of intimacy with God. It is very simple to establish an exciting routine of discovery and spiritual growth. You will achieve this by setting aside a moment each day to draw near to the Lord. During the Devotional, you will read a Bible verse with a meditation on the text. Then, you will meditate on the teachings and how to apply them in your life. In the end, you can pray.

How to do your Daily Devotional

Here are some tips for making the most of reading the Bible message during the Daily Devotional:

Set aside a moment and choose a specific place: your devotional time will be more beneficial if you set aside the hustle and bustle and invest in a pleasant time alone with God.
Read the verse or Bible passage attentively: develop a lifestyle committed to the Word of God every day and avoid distractions.
Read the daily meditation: reflect and try to understand God's purpose for your life through the comments.
Practical application: jot down your findings and don't forget to put into practice everything you have learned through the Bible.
Share what you learned: try to share with people around what God has been teaching you in your moments of daily devotion as you go about your daily conversations and interactions.

Don't forget the importance of living a life fully committed to the Word of God!
