Comfort, encourage, and strengthen your hearts.

"Comfort and encourage your hearts and strengthen them [make them steadfast and keep them unswerving] in every good work and word." II Thessalonians 2:17 AMPC

How do you comfort and encourage your hearts?  How do you strengthen your hearts and make them steadfast in every work that you endeavor upon or word or speak?  By one man - Jesus Christ; by one book - The Bible.  

Without prayer and diving into the Word regularly, it is so easy to get sucked into the darkness,  but prayer and meditation on God's Word are almighty lifters of the darkness surrounding us; with prayer and time spent in the Word, you can feel Jesus surrounding you and lifting you up to new levels. Therefore, make a point to pray unceasingly - speaking with your mouth and your heart, as well, take time to read God's Word daily.  When you do, you can feel your heart soften, your breath become steady, and a new energy building on the inside.  Yes, when you do, you become comforted, encouraged, strengthened, and determined to do right by God in every word your speak,and work you undertake.
