Our Daily Walk with Christ Devotional – October 22, 2024

The Divine Invitation: “Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” —Hebrews 4:16

Through faith, we reach out to Christ in prayer asking for His Divine Help. When we pray continuously, the threads of our brokenness, fears, and anxieties are spiritually wrapped in Jesus’ love. We experience a transformation into a true believer whose faith in God grows stronger producing a spirit of courage, contentment, and total reliance on God.

“…My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” —2 Corinthians 12:9

Prayer is our lifeline to heaven. In faith, we accept Christ’s invitation to come to His throne of grace. Our faith is rewarded and we become the recipients of Christ’s strength given to us by the Holy Spirit. If in peaceful times, we develop a daily life of prayer [Daniel prayed at least three times a day] when facing unexpected challenges, our first immediate response is prayer.

Reverently, we petition Christ, our Intercessor who promises, “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid” (John 14:27). In His earthly life, Jesus had twelve disciples whose beliefs included pagan fallacies. The story of Jesus walking on water is told in the Bible in Matthew 14:22-33:

• Jesus walks on the lake: The disciples are being battered by waves.
• The disciples are afraid: The disciples are terrified and think Jesus is a ghost.
• Jesus calms the disciples: Jesus says, “Take courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.”

“Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” —Isaiah 41:10

We have a Savior who sacrificed His all for us. Jesus knows that we can do nothing without Him. The challenges you face are not greater than God’s Perfect Love and Sovereign Power, decide to put your full trust in Christ. With steadfast faith proclaim, “I know that Christ is in this battle with me, and He always wins!”

Our faith should be expressed in spoken words. Every day, tell yourself, “My help comes from God!” Speak the righteous promises of Christ over your life, not only will you become dependent on Him, but your faith will flourish like grapes on a vine. Reliance on Christ produces a spirit of peace within that no storm can destroy.

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” —Joshua 1:9

Lord God, we give You honor and praise thanking You for Your abundant love, grace, and mercies. We desire to rely completely on You and ask for Your Divine Intervention and strength. Give us direction and peace in our stormy seasons of life. We pray for the Holy Spirit’s anointing, power, and presence. Teach us to hear Your voice. We ask this prayer in faith and in the Righteous Name of Jesus. Amen.
