*WHEN YOU THINK GOD IS DELAYING*

"How long will thou forget me, O LORD? forever? How long wilt thou hide thy face from me?"

How long shall I take Counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? How long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?"
(Psalm 13:1-2)
***********************
Sometimes we feel like God does not hear prayer when we do not receive the expected answer from Him. Sometimes too, we think that God is delaying in answering our prayers. Whichever way we look at it, the truth is that God answers every prayer of ours. He may immediately answer our prayer - it is a "yes" answer because it aligns with His divine will for us. Sometimes the answer is "no", and other times it is a "wait" answer.

In Psalm 13 it is clear that the Psalmist felt that God was delaying in answering his prayer. David cries out to God: "How long will thou forget me, O LORD? forever? How long wilt thou hide thy face from me?"

It is human to sometimes feel this way as David did. However, when you feel like God is delaying, it is important to remember that a delay is not a denial. Instead of thinking that the season of waiting is wasted time, we must consider it as God's strategic pauses for preparation, protection, and perfecting our character, and learning to wait upon Him. Waiting on God is very rewarding (Isaiah 40:31). When you feel like God is delaying, be encouraged by Psalm 62:5-8.

Navigating these quiet or prolonged seasons of life when you do not feel God's presence or hear His voice, can be deeply challenging, but you can find comfort and strength through these seasons of silence, knowing that He has promised never to leave or forsake us. He is the God who hears the prayer of His people (Psalm 65:2)

Beloved, God's delays are not His denials, and understanding this is very helpful whilst we wait for Him to act on our behalf. Possible reasons for delays are as follows:

*1.* When God delays, it is because He is preparing you for the very blessing you are praying for, or positioning the right people in your path, at the right time. This might be true in the life experience of Joseph. Timing is of great essence with God's dealing with us, and His timing is always the best. He is never late or early, He is always on time.

*2.* When God delays or withholds something now, He might be keeping you from harm, or preventing you from receiving something before you are ready to handle it. God promised the Israelites a land and showed them the boundaries, but He did not allow them take full possession immediately. God's reason for delaying a complete possession is found in Exodus 23:29-30

"I will not drive them out from before thee in one year; lest the land become desolate, and the beast of the field multiply against thee.
By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land".

*3.* When God delays, it is because His thoughts are not our thoughts and His ways are not our ways (Isaiah 55:8). God’s timing is fundamentally about divine purpose rather than human convenience or immediate enjoyment. What feels like lateness or delay, is often patience and a desire to bring about the very best outcome. God waits and acts at the perfect time.

Beloved, when you feel like God is delaying; refocus on your purpose and use the waiting season to grow in patience and deepen your faith, trusting that God's plans are good, even when you cannot see the immediate path or hear His voice. Remember always that God's delays are not His denials. Shalom.

*OUR PRAYER*
_Lord, teach me to be patient as I wait on you to fulfill Your divine purpose for my life. Amen._

*WHY YOU SHOULD FORGIVE THOSE WHO HURT YOU*

"Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice.
And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you."
(Ephesians 4:31-32)
************************
As a Christian, one thing that God expects you to do to others is to forgive them when they hurt you. Sometimes the hurt may cut deep. However, not forgiving those who hurt you is like drinking poison for another person. Forgiveness is medicinal, it soothes and stablizes the soul, and brings peace and joy.

In the Bible, the believer is called upon to forgive others first and foremost because God has forgiven him. (Ephesians 4:32). Holding on to resentment creates bitterness that damages your own soul, while extending forgiveness frees you from the past and reflects the grace you have received from God, through Jesus Christ.

The Bible offers several good reasons and commands for why you should forgive those who have hurt you:

*1.* Forgiving others is obedience to God's command. The New Testament teaches clearly that forgiveness is not optional. Ephesians 4:32 states:

"And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you."

You must forgive those who hurt you because God has forgiven, and continues to forgive you, because of Jesus Christ.

*2.* Forgiving others is required in order to receive God's forgiveness. In Matthew 6:14-15, which deals with the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus taught and explained that your willingness to forgive others is deeply tied to receiving God’s forgiveness for your own shortcomings. Not forgiving those who hurt you means you disqualify yourself from receiving God's forgiveness.

*3.* Forgiving others helps guard your own heart. Unforgiveness breeds bitterness and anger.(Ephesians 4:31). By refusing to forgive, you allow the person who hurt you to control your emotions and erode your inner peace and happiness. Forgiveness breaks those chains so you can heal and live a peaceful, joyful life.

*4.* Forgiving others reflects the nature and character of Jesus Christ. As we read in Colossians 3:12-13:

" Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
Forbearing one another, if any man have quarrel against any; even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye."

Beloved, you are called on to make room for others' faults and forgive freely because the Lord has already forgiven your own imperfections. When we forgive those who hurt us, we imitate Christ who prayed to the Father to forgive those who falsely accused and nailed Him to the cross.

Forgiving someone does not mean denying or pretending the hurt did not happen, nor does it mean you must remain in an unsafe or hurtful situation. It simply means surrendering your right to revenge, and letting go of the bitterness in your heart. It is leaving vengeance in the hands of God.

Think about this seriously. God has forgiven your past sins and continues to forgive you, based on his unconditional forgiveness, learn to forgive those who hurt you. Shalom.

*OUR PRAYER*
_Lord, help me to be ready at all times to forgive those who hurt me because You have graciously forgiven me. Amen._

*WHEN GOD CLOSES A DOOR*

“Behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: and have shut, and no man openeth.”
(Revelation 3:7–8)
***********************
Life often brings moments of confusion and disappointment - times when opportunities vanish, prayers seem unanswered, and paths we hoped to walk are suddenly blocked. In such moments, it may feel as though God has forgotten us. But Scripture reminds us that God is both the One who opens doors and the One who shuts them.

When God closes a door, it is never without purpose. Sometimes, it is for protection. What lies ahead may not align with His will or may harm us in ways we cannot yet see. Other times, it is for redirection - guiding us toward something better, even if it is unfamiliar or uncomfortable.

Consider the words of the Apostle Paul:

“After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not.” (Acts 16:7)

Paul’s plan was good, yet God said “no” because He had a greater assignment waiting in Macedonia.

Closed doors are not signs of rejection; they are often evidence of divine guidance. God sees the end from the beginning. What feels like a setback may actually be a setup for His greater purpose.

Here are some lessons to hold on to:

*1. God is Sovereign:*
“The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord.” (Psalm 37:23)
Even closed doors are ordered steps.

*2. God’s Timing is Perfect:*
“To every thing there is a season…” (Ecclesiastes 3:1)
A “no” now may become a “yes” later - or something better.

*3. God Always Has a Better Plan:*
“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord…” (Jeremiah 29:11)

When a door closes, resist the urge to force it open. Instead, pause and seek God’s direction. Trust that He is not withholding good from you but preparing the right path for you.

Sometimes, the greatest blessings come through doors we never planned to walk through. A closed door is not the end of your story - it is often the beginning of God’s better plan. Shalom.

*OUR PRAYER*
_Heavenly Father, help me to trust You when doors close in my life. Give me peace in uncertainty, and faith to believe that You are working all things for my good. In Jesus’ Name, Amen._

*HOW TO DEAL WITH LONELINESS*

"The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms:.."
(Deuteronomy 34:27)
************************
God created humanity for deep connection, relationship, and fellowship, and offers comfort by promising His constant presence to those who feel lonely or isolated. Handling loneliness as a Christian therefore means anchoring your identity in God's promises while taking practical steps to build community.

The scripture highlights the importance of fellowship with other believers. Hebrews 10:24-25 states:

"And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works.
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is, but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching."

The early church in the Book of Acts practiced this community fellowship. They, with one accord, met for prayers and fellowship (Acts 1:14; 2:42-47). This deals with the issue of loneliness by offering the assurance of God's constant presence. It also encourages believers to get involved in active and supportive community fellowship. You can also transform loneliness into a season of spiritual growth by spending time in prayer, and the study of the Bible.

A balanced, actionable and effective approach to navigating lonely seasons includes the following:

*1. Lean into the comfort of scripture*
This means refocusing on God's presence. Remember God's promise never to leave you or forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:8; Hebrews 13:5; Matthew 28:20). Even when you feel alone, be assured that His omnipresence is a spiritual fact. (Psalm 139; Romans 8:28-39).

*2. Lean on His promises,* and memorize verses that remind you of His closeness.Psalm 27:10 says:

"When my father and mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up."

Spend time in Scripture to meditate on the unconditional love of the Lord, especially in the Book of John.

*3. Turn your loneliness into prayer.* Pour out your heart to God, as David did in the Psalms, and ask Him to help you feel His nearness. (Psalm 42; Psalm 43; Psalm 121).

*4. Be intentional in engaging the Body of Christ.* Attend church regularly and faithfully. Get involved in fellowship meetings, Sunday school and prayer meetings. Like David, you should be able to say: "I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD." Building deeper relationships to overpower loneliness takes time, so consistency is key. (Hebrews 10:25)

*5.* *Pouring your energy into others is one of the fastest ways to overcome loneliness.* Shift your focus from your own needs to serving others. Sharing the love of Christ meets both your emotional needs, and the needs of those around you.

*6. Feelings of loneliness can sometimes lead to isolation and self-focus.* Actively combat negative thoughts by meditating on things that are pure, lovely, and of good report (Philippians 4:8). Learn to guard your thoughts.

Beloved, embrace moments of being alone as opportunities to deepen your relationship with God through reading His word, praying, meditating and memorising the word of God.

May those moments be a time of deep reflection on your relationship and fellowship with the Lord who has promised never to leave nor forsake you. Shalom.

*OUR PRAYER*
_Thank you, God, for showing me how to deal with loneliness so that I can enjoy an unbreakable fellowship with You and other believers. Amen._

*WHAT CAN YOU DO FOR GOD?*

“What shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits toward me?” (Psalm 116:12)
***********************
This heartfelt question from the psalmist echoes through every believer’s life: What can I do for God? When we consider His goodness - life, salvation, protection, provision - we realize that we can never truly repay Him. Yet God does not ask for repayment; He desires response.

The beauty of our walk with God is that He values willing hearts more than great achievements. You may not be a preacher, a singer, or a leader, but there is always something you can do for God.

*First, you can offer yourself.*
“I beseech you therefore, brethren… that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice…” (Romans 12:1)
God wants your life - your thoughts, actions, and daily choices surrendered to Him.

*Second, you can serve faithfully in little things.*
“He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much…” (Luke 16:10)
Small acts - kindness, encouragement, obedience - matter greatly in God’s sight.

*Third, you can share His love with others.*
“Let your light so shine before men…” (Matthew 5:16)
A word of hope, a helping hand, or a godly example can draw someone closer to Christ.

*Fourth, you can worship and give thanks.*
“By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually…” — Hebrews 13:15
Gratitude honours God and keeps your heart aligned with Him.

*Finally, you can pray.*
Prayer is one of the greatest services you can render to God’s kingdom. Through it, you partner with Him in changing lives and situations.

God is not looking for ability alone - He is looking for availability. The question is not how much you can do, but how willing you are to do it. Shalom.

*OUR PRAYER*
_Heavenly Father, thank You for all You have done for me. Teach me to serve You with a willing heart. Show me the little and great ways I can honour You daily. Use my life for Your glory. In Jesus’ name, Amen._

*LONELINESS*

"And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him."
(Genesis 2:18)
***********************
Loneliness is a distressing and discomforting feeling that results from a gap between your desired level of social connection and your actual experience. It is a state of mind rather than a physical reality. This means you can experience it when you are actually alone, or even when surrounded by people in a crowd.

Loneliness silently steals one's peace and joy. In that state, the mind is filled with negative thoughts that can be very depressing and destructive.

The Bible recognizes loneliness as a painful human experience. Genesis 2:18 makes a strong declaration:

"And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him."

This verse is the original assessment of loneliness. God states that human beings are designed for relationship and fellowship, making isolation unnatural and unacceptable.

The Bible presents loneliness as a common struggle for humanity. Some experience loneliness as a result of the passing of a loved one - husband or wife, father or mother, child or friend. It can be as a result of dealing with a chronic disease or the loss of a job, betrayal or childlessness. The Bible shows major figures like Elijah, David, and Jesus Himself, who experienced loneliness or abandonment at a point in time in their lives.

Elijah experienced loneliness, fled in fear for his life from the threat of Jezeebel, and felt he was the only faithful prophet left. (1 Kings 19:1-4).

King David expressed the feelings of being "lonely and afflicted" several times in the Psalms. (Psalm 25:16-17). In Psalm 13 David cried to the Lord:"How long with thou forget me, O LORD? forever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

The Lord Jesus Christ Himself experienced the deepest isolation and loneliness on the cross, when cried out,: "....My God, my God, why have you forsake me?" (Matthew 27:46). The Lord Jesus knows how it feels to be lonely or abandoned, and promises believers that He will never leave nor forsake them (Hebrews 13:5).

Beloved, God Himself promises divine companionship for His followers. The Scriptures emphasize that God is present in isolation. He acts as the "father of the fatherless" and a judge of the widows, and healer of the brokenhearted (Psalm 68:5-6, 147:3).

Scripture abounds with comforting verses about how to deal with loneliness.

Deuteronomy 31:6 says:

"Be strong and of good courage; fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee nor forsake thee.

In John 14:18. Jesus promises belivers:

"I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you."

Psalm 34:18 declares:

"The LORD is nigh (near or close) unto them that are of a broken heart, and saveth such as be of a contrite or crushed spirit."

Ultimately, the Bible positions God's presence as the primary remedy for loneliness, promising that even when human companionship is absent, one is not truly alone. Psalm 27:10 promises: "When my father and mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up."

When you think or feel that you are lonely, you are not actually lonely, because the unseen God is always with you, so turn your eyes unto God when you feel lonely. He is your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Shalom.

*OUR PRAYER*
_Lord, when I feel lonely, remind me of Your promise that You will never leave me nor forsake me. May the promise of Your personal presence be my source of strength. Amen._

*WHO IS THE LORD TO YOU?*

"The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid."
(Psalm 27:1)
*************************
For a trusting believer, the Lord is everything to him. However if I ask people to complete the phrase "The Lord is my..." I believe about ninety out of one hundred people will respond: "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want." (Psalm 23:1).

This is one of the most well-known passages in the Bible, expressing trust in God's care, provision, and guidance. It is a Psalm of David that continues with themes of rest, restoration, and protection. The Lord indeed is our shepherd and we shall not lack anything.

Psalm 23 describes God as a shepherd providing rest in "green pastures" and leading beside "still waters," guiding through dark valleys, and offering protection. With God as our Shepherd, we shall lack nothing, for all our needs will be provided.

To say that the Lord is your Shepherd means trusting that God is your personal caretaker, provider, protector, and guide. He cares for you as a shepherd tends his sheep. This signifies that you are never alone. God intimately knows your needs, protects you, restores your soul, and leads you through difficult times.

For the child of God, the Lord is more than a shepherd to him. The Lord is also the following to us:

*1.* "The LORD is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? ..." (Psalm 27:1). This means the Lord is the stronghold of your life and that leaves no room for fear. It is a declaration of absolute confidence in God's protection. David expresses that because God provides guidance, rescue, and security, a believer has no reason to fear any danger or enemy.

This means God provides guidance, dispels darkness, and offers hope and clarity in challenging and changing times. In time of fear or danger, Psalm 27:1 serves as a reminder to turn to God's presence, rather than yielding to fear.

*2.* "The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, and my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, the horn of my salvation, and my high tower." (Psalm 18:2). This assures the believer that God is an unwavering, secure foundation - a rock and a safe protective stronghold - a fortress that defends against life's dangers and difficulties.

God is a personal source of stability and protection, and offers refuge when facing enemies or overwhelming circumstances. God is our unshakeable strength, a firm, immovable, and trustworthy foundation. He is the believer's reliable source of safety and stability.

*3.* "The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him." (Psalm 28:7). This is a declaration of a firm trust in God as both a source of power - strength, and a protector - shield.

The verse highlights that trusting God leads to experiencing help, which results in joy and praise, rather than fear. God as our strength is an acknowledgement that He is the source of our inner power, endurance, and capability to face life's challenges. As our shield, He becomes our divine protector, both physically and spiritually, guarding us against danger and trials. He actively helps and moves the believer from distress to rejoicing and singing praises.

Psalm 28:7 should be a daily reminder of God's presence and protection in times of weakness or uncertainty, and encourages believers to rely on His strength, rather than their own.

*4.* “So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me." (Hebrews 13:6). This is a verse of encouragement, focusing on divine protection. It serves as a reminder to trust in God's presence rather than fearing human threats, following from the promise in verse 5:

"Let your conversation (manner of life, conduct or behaviour) be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee."

We are to express bold confidence in God's help rather than fear.

2 Timothy 1:7 declares:

"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."

Beloved, because God is our helper, the fear of human actions is unnecessary. We are to rely on God during times of trial and difficulty. The verse encourages us to shift from fearing mortal, earthly threats to relying on spiritual security.

All the verses we have considered point to one important truth - having a personal relationship with God through His Son Jesus Christ. All the verses are relational.

You can only say: "The Lord is my Shepherd" or "The Lord is my light and my salvation" if you know Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour and Lord. The Lord is all you need in this world. He is sufficient for you. May the Lord be your everything, and you will live a life of peace, contentment and fulfilment. Shalom.

*OUR PRAYER*
_Lord, thank You for what are to me. Your are my Saviour and Lord; my Shepherd, my Shield, my Refuge and Helper. You are more than enough for me. Amen._

*GOD, MY PROVIDER, PROTECTOR AND PRESERVER*

"And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: ..."
(Genesis 22:8)
*************************
God is the ultimate Provider. He promises to meet our physical and spiritual needs. He is also our Protector and Preserver, safeguarding our souls, and acting as a shepherd and shield.(Psalm.23; Psalm 91).

*1. GOD AS PROVIDER:*
He is the ultimate Provider under any situation. Abraham, in obedience, was ready and willing to sacrifice Isaac, his only son, as God had asked him to do. (Genesis 22:1-3). When Isaac asked him where the lamb for a burnt offering was, (Genesis 22:7), Abraham's response proved that he strongly believed in God's ability to provide.

Genesis 22:8 declares: "And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering...", and God provided in an unexpected way (Genesis 22:9-14). God is our Jehovah-Jireh. "The LORD will provide." God's role in providing cannot be doubted. He sees and meets our needs in His perfect timing.

His provision is not limited by earthly circumstances or the state of the economy. He supplies in abundance. Philippians 4:19 declares: "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." When He provided to feed the hungry multitudes in the desert, He provided more than they could eat. Psalm 34:10 says: " The young lions do lack and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing."

He provides abundantly beyond human expectations, everything from daily necessities to ultimate salvation and spiritual peace through Jesus Christ. God is our great and ultimate Provider.

*2. GOD AS PROTECTOR:*
He is a divine shelter. Psalm 91 presents God as a, "shield, refuge and fortress" for those who abide in him. In Him we find both spiritual and physical safety. He guards our hearts and mind with His peace (Philippians 4:6-7). He uses guardian angels to protect us from dangers and harm (Psalm 92:10-12).

Angels are ministering spirits for believers (Hebrews 1:14). They are sent by God to assist and protect believers, who inherit salvation.

Beloved, to enjoy God's provision and protection we must abide in Him and trust Him. Protection is found by dwelling in the "secret place of the most high God". (Psalm 91:1). God provides and protects those who love and obey Him, aligning their lives with His will.

Obedience is the sure way to access God's provision and protection.

*3. GOD AS PRESERVER:*
Those He provides for and protects, He will also preserve. Psalm 121:7-8 declares, "The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: He shall preserve thy soul. The LORD shall preserve thy going out and your coming in from this forth and even for evermore."

Beloved, with God as your Provider, Protector and Preserver, you have nothing to worry about or fear. Live in obedience, align your will and desires to His, and trust Him unreservedly. Shalom.

*OUR PRAYER*
_Thank You Lord, for being my ultimate Provider, Protector and Preserver. Teach me to rely on You completely. Amen._

*THE GOD WHO HEARS*

"The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivers them out of all their troubles.

The LORD is near unto them that are of a broken heart; and saves such as of a contrite spirit.

Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivers him out of them all."
(Psalm 34:17-19)
***********************
Psalm 135:15-17 describes the idols of the heathen as the works of men's hand, made of silver and gold. They have mouths, but they speak not, they have eyes, but they cannot see. They have ears, but they hear not and there is no breath in their mouth.

However, the God of the believer hears, saves, and heals. Psalm 65:2 declares:

"O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come". The truth that God hears and saves appears prominently in Scripture. He hears the cries of those who trust Him and He delivers them from their troubles and struggles. This truth promises that our prayers do not fall on deaf ears. God is present in our moments of pain and brokenness.

God is an attentive listener who is not distant from His own. He is attentive to the cries of the righteous, and responds to the brokenhearted individual. "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble" (Psalm 46:1). He has commanded us to call upon Him, and He promises to answer us (Jeremiah 33:3).

God does not only hear our prayers, He is also an active deliverer. Psalm 50:15 states: "And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt honour me."

God invites us to trust Him during times of distress and trials. This scripture points to God's presence and active role in helping those in need. We are encouraged to pray during trials because God will hear and quickly bring rescue.

Psalm 91:15 gives the same assurance. "He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him."

Instead of falling into despair, maintain your faith and trust, and turn to God. He is in control and will work things out.

Beloved, the fact that God hears when we cry unto Him should give great comfort and hope when we are in pain, or going through trials. He hears the cry of the oppressed and afflicted, and He will deliver you.

God hears our cries and knows our pain. So, even when our sight is blurred, and our hearts are heavy, we can cling to the promise that He will never forsake nor leave us alone. The promise that He is coming again should be a strong source of comfort to us. God hears when we cry unto Him. Shalom.

*OUR PRAYER*
_Heavenly Father, thank You for answering our prayers when we call on You. Give us the grace to stay in Your Word, so we may grow thereby. Amen._
