When the doubts come, trials come, dismay and discouragement surround, press forward. Run to Jesus. Don't stop worshiping until the hindrance is lifted.
The Lord is Owner and Possessor of all, every single aspect of our life, including our work. Let Him take reign. Submit joyfully to His rulings. Don't assume the Name of Jesus is a "talisman". The prosperity gospel is a lie. Rather, serve as if you were serving Him, remembering, "if you do it for the least of these...". Be sensitive to His leading, and obedient to His voice. Worship in your work.

Philippians 2
There is solace and encouragement to be found in Christ. No room for pride, especially in the servant of Christ.
Support and help each other. The Lord became "us" but without sin, stooping from His glory, as the prime example of humbleness and servitude. Praise the Lord! Forgive our pride.
Jesus! Such power in His Name. Every knee will bow. Every tongue declaring Jesus is Lord!
Don't judge other souls, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. Don't complain and grumble but seek to glorify the Lord in all you do. Strive for holiness. Shine, so Jesus receives glory. Nothing given to God is in vain.
Seek friendship with those who truly love the Lord. Trust God. Praise Him for His mercy. Rejoice always. Of all people, we have the most reason to be joyful! Be kind, love, accept those others who labor also for the sake of Christ. Live, not holding anything back. To live is Christ. To die is gain.
