Check The Gauge

We all become aware of the need for physical food in our life. We know it is time to “fuel up” because we become hungry. Just like we need physical fuel in the form of food, we also need spiritual fuel for our spiritual life. But what is that fuel, and how do we know when it is time for us to “fuel up” spiritually? There are many answers for this, and likely they differ for different people. One of the ways we know is if we find ourselves in fear or dread. That is like our spiritual gauge. But then how do we “fuel up” to overcome those things? One of those ways is through prayer. Me can see that our Messiah used this method often.

Matthew14:22 And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.
23 And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.
24 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.
25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.

He often prayed before significant events, like walking on the water here and calming the sea. He also prayed before he was crucified. It is one way that we can “fuel up” to prepare ourselves for the race.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are our King. We praise the name Yahuah and long for the raign of Your kingdom here! Send us today Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our sins. Help our unbelief. Heal us up completely. Deliver us from the thief. Restore unto Your people one hundred times one hundred fold, and hundreds of hundreds of hundreds. We ask these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
