By: Gabriela Yareliz These excerpts are taken from chapter 13 in the book, Prayer, by Ellen G. White. We have a God whose ear is not closed to our petitions; and if we prove His word, He will honor our faith.

That which you have not asked for
By: Gabriela Yareliz I was studying today in 1 Kings chapter 3, continuing my trek through the old testament. I was looking at how Solomon is establishing his kingdom after his father’s death. I was impressed by the verse where God asks Solomon what he desires. In verse 5, God says: At Gibeon the LordContinue reading “That which you have not asked for”
Instructions on prayer
By:Gabriela Yareliz “Pray and believe—God does not say, Ask once, and you shall receive. He bids us ask. Unwearyingly persist in prayer. The persistent asking brings the petitioner into a more earnest attitude, and gives him an increased desire to receive the things for which he asks. Christ said to Martha at the grave ofContinue reading “Instructions on prayer”
Overcome for today
By: Gabriela Yareliz I wanted to share this thought from my devotional today. “The truth of God received into the heart is able to make you wise unto salvation. In believing and obeying it you will receive grace sufficient for the duties and trials of today. Grace for tomorrow you do not need. You shouldContinue reading “Overcome for today”
Athletic
By: Gabriela Yareliz Olympics are gone and out. I love the Olympics. It isn’t even about the athletes competing and doing their amazing things specifically; what gets me the most is how it is so patriotic. I am a sucker for patriotism and doing things to honor your flag and country. I like the ideaContinue reading “Athletic”

Oswald on prayer…
Found by: Gabriela Yareliz I always appreciate and love his quotes… He is one of those people who encourages us to keep praying. To know that life is like music, and that even when we feel silence– God is still in the “rests,” and that the music would not be the same without the rests.Continue reading “Oswald on prayer…”
When you really want something
By: Gabriela Yareliz I began reading the book of 1 Samuel. It begins with the story of Hannah, the childless woman who wanted a child more than anything. It is a story I have referred to before, because it is one that I really love. During the festivities in Shiloh, she is upset. She won’tContinue reading “When you really want something”
To Praise
Translation by: Gabriela Yareliz /God doesn’t reject a prayer, Prayer is nurishment. I have never seen a just one, one of His children, left without an answer or left in suffering. Its enough to wait and see what God will do when you lift your hands; it is time to gain victory. Simply praise Him;Continue reading “To Praise”
He crossed His hands
Recollection by: Gabriela Yareliz- Based on Steve Riley’s sermon at the Florida Conference Campmeeting. Riley is the Senior Pastor of Stanmore Avenue Church in Port of Spain, Trinidad. Life throws us unexpected things. We don’t always understand what we are going through as we are walking along the journey. Only one thing is true: GodContinue reading “He crossed His hands”
