In God we live, move, and have our being. He is our very present help in time of need and He has made His grace available and so sufficient for us to come boldly to His presence for mercy and help. This gives us the courage to rest our hope fully on His help in all things. This grace is not a call to laziness, but it is the evidence of His lovingkindness, care, and compassion as a Father who makes all things easy for us, His children.

I have had days I would think I am too tired to pray to Him or praise Him but then I would get a thought, like a whisper of edifying words, and boom! I would be strengthened to do more than just pray for myself but also others, and I would worship God like I was never tired in the first place.
?
There are days I would think that I have every right and reason to eat so much but then an instruction with a feeling of satisfaction would fall upon me to make the day count through fasting.
?
There are days when I would feel so lazy to work with my hands, but He would make it easy by telling me what to do, how to do it, and who in particular to learn from with the needed strength to do the job completely and excellently.

But what if I told you that God loves it when we do the needful things deliberately without anyone imploring us? Yes, He does and the first help He has rendered us for its possibility is that He gave us a new heart that loves Him and that pants after Him, He makes all things work for our good; even though there are tons of irrelevant contents on social media, still we are compelled to be admonished by following those who preach, sings and admonish daily in His name.
"The love of God compels us.” We can of ourselves do nothing. John 15:5 says “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing”. So, let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
