The Bible tells us the write the vision on the wall and make it plan. If you are a Christian without a vision, you may be missing out on fulfilling your purpose and valuable opportunities.

What is the importance of silence and solitude to the Christian? If we will start the day with meditation, the word of God, and prayer, we create a space for the Lord’s guidance, wisdom, and blessings.
It was Christian Meditation integrated with the scriptures that helped me overcome years of depression. Meditation is a tool used to quiet our minds and create a greater space for God in our lives.
“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.
Our relationship with the Lord is a journey, a journey where we will struggle and undergo many trials. But fret not, the Lord has promised to be with us.

Jesus said that if you the faith of a mustard seed that you can tell this mountain to be cast into the sea and it must obey you. Many believers are living with mountains in their life that God wants to tear down. Often we see mountains as external forces that keep us from meeting our goals; however, many of the mountains we face our internal. These are mountains of fear, self-doubt, un-forgiveness, unbelief, and more.

Eat, Pray, and Love provides Christians, and others, with some valuable lessons and spiritual disciplines that can enhance their life and relationship with God.
Secret Ambition by Michael W. Smith is a wonderful video to share with unsave family and friends.
