Do your prayers normally begin with please? Do you wait until you’ve received what you ask for before saying thank you? Unlike the standard ‘please’ before ‘thank you’ that we are taught as children, next time you go to God in prayer, I encourage you to begin with a thank you.

Have you told God how thankful you are for everything He has done in your life?

Anxiety is a common reaction to unknown circumstances around us—and we’ve had our share of them the last few years! But it’s important to recognize that our thoughts direct our emotions and reveal our core beliefs. Once our core beliefs are revealed, we can grow in faith by choosing to trust God for what He has told us.

Are you standing firm in Christ’s victory? Are you giving yourself fully to the work of the Lord? Be assured, it is not in vain.

In Thriving Through the End Times, Neil gives us clear guidance and abundant hope that we can live as God’s people and point others to the Father by the power of the Spirit and the truth of God’s Word.

Would you describe your love towards others as genuine? How are you doing “rejoicing with those who rejoice and weeping with those who weep?” Is it hard for you to enter into their pain or their celebration?

Guarding our own heart is our responsibility and serves to protect the teachings of God and our trust in Him. Dear Saints, how are you doing at guarding your heart and clinging to the truth that God has taught you?

This world and the challenges we face can be wearisome, emotionally taxing, or even downright painful. But the solution is not to escape reality; it’s to connect with our Father. Are you confident that Jesus will meet you in facing that reality?

Being a saint doesn’t mean you are perfect. It doesn’t mean you have lived such a good life that you get categorized in a different level of humanity—or that you have to live by a strict set of rules set by God Himself. Being a saint means that Christ has effected such a tremendous salvation that, we are changed and ‘set apart’ through Him.
