Diary of Ige

Happy Sunday everyone! Listening to a message this morning reminded me of a little story I had written a few months back for my kids to help them learn to pray and trust God for healing. I thought to share it this beautiful Sunday morning. 😊 Nana Flo : Why the sad face Toby? Toby : Nana Flo, I was going to go over to play on the PS4 with Ben next door, he is not feeling so well again and can’t even play with me! Toby sobbed. Nana Flo: That's a pity, I hope he feels much better. Would you like us to hold hands and pray for him? Toby: Would that work Nana Flo? I really want him to feel better, he is one of my nicest friends! Nana Flo: Of course! Oh Toby! See let me tell you something, as children of God, when anything troubles us we can always take it to God in prayer, we can communicate with him freely, anywhere, anytime having faith that he listens, that’s the key thing, choosing to trust in His plan for us. See, let me tell you the story of Lazarus: Lazarus lived in ...

It could be anything, I mean education, work, finance, health, family, relationship, life etc. Jesus Himself did not have it easy while He was here on earth, did He? It’s always one thing or the other but always remember, you are not alone. God is always a present help in our times of trouble. At times, when you feel the weight of it all crushing you, it’s because you are trying to go it alone, there is only so much we can do on our own. Try and cast some on to God, and I mean the worry about how to bear that burden because if you want to be honest, most of that burden is actually the worry you have added on top of it.
