Your Answered Prayer is Ready and Waiting

Do you ever feel as if your prayers dissolve into the vast expanse without reply?

Sometimes, you may repeatedly ask me for the same thing, which can demonstrate dogged determination and persistence, as illustrated in the parable of the persistent widow who continually seeks justice from the judge (Luke 18:1-8). However, anxiously repeated prayers can also indicate a lack of faith, as if you doubt that I have heard you or that I will respond.

Instead, try to ask once in faith for whatever you need, and from then on, thank me for moving and acting on your behalf. Believe that your request is already fulfilled in the spiritual realm and is merely waiting to be manifested in the realm of time and space.

Therefore, pray in faith and then express gratitude that the answer is ready and on its way.

"Then they asked him, 'What must we do to do the works God requires?' Jesus answered, 'The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent'" (John 6:27-28).

The Rat, the Bomb, and the Brave Heart: Lessons from a Fearless Rodent

🔍 The Practice of Peace

Here’s how fear loses its grip: You face it. With Me. Boldly.

Think of the worst-case scenario—not to dwell there, but to disarm it. Ask yourself:

• What would I do if this happened?
• What would God do?
• Would I survive? And if not, what then?

I’ll be in every answer. Every possibility. Every outcome.

The trick isn’t to pretend you’re invincible. It’s to remember I’m immovable. You won’t face the storm alone—I’ll face it with you.

🎯 Believe for the Best

Once you've sat with the fear and invited Me in... then lift your eyes.

Hope isn’t naïve—it’s sacred. You were created to imagine beauty, to dream of healing, to believe in goodness. That’s Me, breathing through you.

So I ask you to live wisely:

• Prepare for what might go wrong
• Believe for the most beautiful outcome 
• And rest with Me between the two—where faith breathes and fear dissolves

🕊️ Final Word: You’re Not Alone on the Bomb

Fear loses its grip when you walk into the worst-case scenario—with Me in the room.

I never said you’d avoid the valley of the shadow. I said I would lead you through it—and you would never be alone.

So go ahead. Imagine the worst, and let Me show you how you’d survive, heal, or be held. Then lift your eyes, and believe for the best. That’s not presumption—it’s hope, rooted in My goodness.

Prepare for the storm with Me. Believe for the breakthrough with Me. And sit beside Me on whatever bomb life tries to place beneath you.

I hold both outcomes. And I hold you

How to Move a Mountain with a Mustard Seed

Do you bemoan your lack of faith? Are you trying to muster it up but find yourself still full of doubts?

Life brings mountainous challenges that can feel too difficult to climb. Whether it's a troubled marriage, an illness, or a financial difficulty, you can become overwhelmed and feel powerless.. 

Faith is not the absence of doubt. Instead, imagine the faith you think you need, and take 5% of that. It is all I require. That tiny “mustard seed” of faith can grow into something magnificent. It is what moves mountains (Matthew 17:20). Faith is not about size but sincerity.

Even the smallest seed of faith can grow into something magnificent. Every step, no matter how small, is a step toward moving that mountain. Your tiny faith is powerful enough to change the world.

 "…If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you" (Matthew 17:20).

The Surrender: Finding Peace in the Abyss

That gut-wrenching moment when you feel the ground giving way ... the fear of falling into the abyss. What if, instead of fighting, you simply let go?

We often perceive the abyss as a place of moral failure, sin, or utter ruin. We scramble, we claw, we exhaust ourselves trying to avoid the inevitable plunge. But what if the very thing we fear is the gateway to something profound?

I invite you to consider a radical shift: embrace the abyss. Stop the struggle. Allow yourself to fall. Discover that in the depths of that perceived darkness, you’ll find Me. Not as a judge, but as a redeemer, waiting with open arms.

This isn’t about expecting the worst, but about surrendering to the possibility. It’s about releasing the fear that holds you captive. Picture this: even in the darkest scenario, I am there, working all things for your good. By surrendering, you strip fear of its power.

In the heart of the abyss, you'll discover serenity, a profound peace born from letting go. You’ll find My unconditional acceptance, a love that transcends your perceived flaws and failures.

Take that leap of faith. Trust that I am here, waiting to catch you. In the surrender, you’ll find true rest.

So, when you feel the pull of the abyss, remember: it's not a place of destruction, but a sanctuary of surrender. Embrace the fall and discover the peace that awaits.

Hummingbird's Sermon

 Jesus might say:

Take a moment to consider the beautiful qualities of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience (Colossians 3:12). Allow them to deeply resonate within you, embracing them with open-heartedness. You may explore these virtues through engaging with Scripture, diving into an inspiring novel or film, or even observing someone whom you admire. Practice the art of focusing on one task, one quality, at a time, bringing mindfulness into your actions with a sense of freedom and faith. By doing so, you will effortlessly align yourself with what is right and good.

Building a life of integrity is akin to the graceful process of a hummingbird constructing her nest. The hummingbird does not anticipate in advance the creation of a magnificent miniature nest. Instead, she instinctively gathers an assortment of twigs, feathers, and other soft materials that are pleasing to her (the hummingbird's equivalent of attributes). She takes pleasure in mindfully assembling these pleasing elements, one at a time, with a sense of fulfillment. Similarly, for us, the delightful attributes of Colossians (above), serve as the foundation for cultivating character, integrity, and a life well-lived.

And then as if by magic, a beautiful, safe nest is created by God. And just like the hummingbird we do the "next right thing," and step out into a life of integrity.

Love,

P.S. Author's note: This blog is written in the voice of Christ. I feel this style of writing gives people a fresh perspective and greater sense of God's presence. Denying a duty-based faith, my goal is to free people up from condemnation and burdensome rules and present a perspective of the reader's freedom and God's unconditional love and acceptance. ~ Cyndi
