Daily Devotion for May 31, 2023

Imagine a 16 year old kid goes to a gym to working out for the 1st time. As he walks around, he sees guys bench pressing 350, 375, even 400 pounds. But when he bench presses, he could only do 200 pounds. Does that mean that he has no muscles? NO! Although he can’t lift as much as the other guys, he should not feel bad or discouraged. If he continues to exercise, eat properly, rest & stay consistent in working out, he will be able to lift that about or more. Just because things didn’t go your way does NOT mean that “You ain’t got no faith!” Understand that faith is a MUSCLE that sometimes has to be exercised for it to grow. When situation rises in your life, those are opportunities for growth. See, when problems or situations comes, look up what God said about that situation & stand on those specific Scriptures about it. Fasting, praying, obedience to God, walk in forgiveness & studying His Word are tools that will give your faith muscles rapid results. Ask God to help you to have His perspective when problems come your way… I’m gonna grow from this! Be blessed! #brotherprater

Just like turning off a light switch to keep the bulb from burning out, sometimes you have to turn off everything so you won’t burn yourself out! Set healthy boundaries, exercise your rights to say ,”No!” & stop trying to be there for everybody, but you’re never there for yourself. Know that God won’t put more upon you than you could handle, BUT you sure could put more upon yourself! Stop breaking yourself down! Remember, if you want to lighten your load & reduce stress, do what Teddy Pendergrass said, “Turn off the lights!” #TURN THEM OFF!!! Be blessed! #brotherprater

Daily Devotion for May 26, 2023

Imagine someone handing you their phone to take a picture of them. After you show them the photo, they get mad at you because the picture makes them look big, it shows holes in their clothes & their makeup looks bad. Was that your fault? NOPE! The photo only captured the same image that was in their mirror. If they chose to ignore their mirror, that’s their fault. So, don’t let folks make you feel bad or ruin your day because you show them the photo called TRUTH. Don’t let folks take their anger our issues about themselves on you. Especially, if you know how some folks are, you may have to decline in taking their photo. Also, give folks a disclaimer that you’ll only reveal the flags that they’re holding. Use Godly wisdom in when or who to be a photographer for. And for those who are asking folks for advice, don’t get mad when someone tells you what you already know or refuse to accept. Just thank the Lord that someone loves you enough to be honest, get yourself together, & when you’re ready say, “”CHEESE!” Be blessed! #brotherprater
