THE OIL OF GRACE FOR PROBLEM-SOLVING

“I can do all things through him who strengthens me.” -Philippians 4:13

Life is an inevitable journey through challenges and obstacles. When faced with difficulties, the Oil of Grace empowers us with wisdom, strength, and guidance. This empowering grace doesn’t remove the challenges themselves, but it equips us to navigate them with greater perspective and resilience. Prayer serves as a powerful tool to access this grace. Through prayer, we can express our concerns, anxieties, and need for wisdom to God. As we pour out our hearts to Him, we open ourselves to receiving His guidance and the empowering flow of His grace. This doesn’t imply that God will always answer our prayers in the way we expect, but it assures us that He hears our cries and offers His strength and support as we journey through difficulties.

PRAYERS

Lord, I trust in your plan and timing. I appreciate your grace that strengthens me to face any challenge. Amen.

ACTION: Choose one action to deepen your prayer life:

· Spend dedicated time in focused prayer, expressing your concerns and seeking God’s wisdom.

· Pray with others, seeking their support and inviting their prayers for your situation.

· Write down your worries and concerns in prayer, then release them to God, trusting His guidance and placing your faith in His strength.

SCRIPTURE READING AND MEDITATION: Reflect on Philippians 4:6-7. Consider how prayer allows you to express your need for God’s grace and receive His guidance.
