And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early about the dawning of the day, and compassed the city after the same manner seven times: only on that day they compassed the city seven times. (Joshua 6:15)

We should strive for this kind of intensity and bravery in our own lives. Read more...

Enrique, it is inspiring to see your desire to strengthen your faith to obtain what you need from God in your life. As Dr. Roberto Miranda's devotional mentions, the Canaanite woman and the woman with the flow of blood are examples of people who persisted, made an effort, and touched Jesus in a special way, obtaining miraculous answers. May the story of these women motivate you to seek God with intensity and courage, trusting in His power and mercy. May God guide you in your walk of faith!
Efigenia Vidal : Lord and Eternal God, only you can determine my level of faith, affirming it in such a way that it allows suddenly yours in the midst of affliction, because what is impossible because everything is possible to the one who believes, in a real God. Because when you formed me in my mother's womb, my embryo saw your eyes, so I believe. Thank you because despite everything, you are present in my life. Thank you Lord, because I am sure that I will see your Glory in what we are living as a family. God bless you and continue giving wisdom and intelligence, life to Pastor Miranda.
Efigenia, your prayer is a beautiful testimony of trust in God and of recognition of His power in the midst of life’s afflictions and challenges.
