Afternoon Bible Study
Jesus was tempted, just as we are. He understands everything we are feeling and fighting. Temptation never goes away; it's always there. This daily battle can leave us feeling disappointed and discouraged when we come to God in prayer.

However, Jesus extends His grace to us and invites us to bring our struggles and failures to Him. In God's eyes, we are righteous before Him. So, we can come before the Lord without fear, regret, or feeling inadequate. Not because of anything we have done, but because of what Jesus did on the cross for us.

There is no need to feel shame because when we come before the Lord, that is where we receive His mercy.


In Hebrews 4:16, the writer refers to finding grace "in time of need." Our times of need can be the moments of temptation that we face, as well as include seasons of life when we feel powerless and helpless, like the world is crumbling around us.

It is during these times that we can kneel before the throne of God and wait for Him to renew our strength and fill us with His power. God's mercy and grace are available to us at any moment of every day when we cry out to Him. Draw near to God regardless of your past, your fears, your regrets, or your worries. He's waiting for you today.
Afternoon Prayer
God, today, I put all my attention on you. Thank you for allowing me to present my needs to you. As I come before your throne of grace, I trust you to provide everything I need. Fill me with your mercy and love, Lord. Let your will be done on Earth and in my life. In Jesus's name, amen.

Yesterday Afternoon's Bible Study
"In Paul's first letter to the Corinthians, he encourages followers of Jesus to stand firm and let nothing move them as they serve the Lord.

When we give ourselves wholeheartedly to serving God, it isn't a guarantee that life will be easy. But when we build our lives on the solid foundation of God's Word and learn to trust Him, we will be able to stand firm when the tough times happen … and they will happen.

We also need to be mindful of spending our time and energy doing things that will last for eternity. When we serve others and give from our hearts, we are storing up treasures in Heaven that will last for eternity."


Sometimes it may seem that the things we're doing are small and inconsequential, but our efforts are not in vain. If we only rely on our own strengths and abilities, we will invariably fail. God determines how what we do for Him will affect others.

God looks at our hearts and is more concerned about our relationship with Him than anything we could accomplish. We should aim for the goal of being faithful to what God has called us to do.
Yesterday Afternoon's Prayer
Lord, I need your help to be steadfast. Often, I depend on my own strengths and abilities, but my personal desires and motivations easily sway me. I know that as I serve you, my efforts aren't in vain. I am a carrier of your living hope to those around me. Thank you for helping me stay in my faith in you. In Jesus's name, amen.
