Do you need prayer today? It is my prayer that you find the answers you are seeking today.
“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own” (Matthew 6:33-35, NLT).

Come on, let’s fan into flame every gift that God has given to us. Let’s not allow anything to put our fire out.
“Let the fires go out in the boiler room of the church and the place will still look smart and clean, but it will be cold. The prayer room is the boiler room for its spiritual life” (Leonard Ravenhill).
Don’t allow anything to get you to simmer down. Don’t listen to any lie of the enemy that reminds you of your past and discourages you from fulfilling your future. And most importantly, don’t neglect your fire, allowing devotion to be turned into duty! It has been said that it’s the nature of the fire to automatically go out. Don’t let that happen to you.
No unconfessed sin.
No hurt or disappointment.
No religious people who think they are supposed to be fire extinguishers instead of spiritual pyromaniacs.
Tend to the fire in your heart and allow the Holy Spirit to continually breathe on you so that people say, “Wow, she’s hot,” or, “Wow, he’s hot”—and may they mean we are burning hot for God!
Come on, it’s time for a brain wash! Please let me pray for you:
Lord, set us on fire. Consume us through and through. Set every gift that You have placed in us, gifts that may be lying dormant, to the boiling point. Let us be a bright light set ablaze affecting this dark world. In Jesus’s name, amen.
