Run now, I pray thee, to meet her, and say unto her, Is it well with thee? is it well with thy husband? is it well with the child? And she answered, It is well. 2 Kings 4:26- King James Bible "Authorized Version", Cambridge Edition

As 2014 has officially come to a close and we get ready to embrace the coming year, we need to be reminded that “it is well”. This has nothing to do with our current circumstances, nothing to do with what we see, our current financial situations, our job status, what we might have experienced throughout last year, what we see on the news, or all the things happening throughout the world. All these things are subject to change and will, for the better. We have to know and believe when we’re going through that “it is well”. Take a moment and read 2 Kings, Chapter 4 and be encouraged in your faith. There are few things we have control over, but perspective is one and what we choose to believe another. What do you believe and who do you believe? This determines your outcome.
“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.” Hebrews 11:1 The Shunamite woman in 2 Kings believed that “it was well” despite the fact that her son died in her lap and lay dead on the prophet’s couch. She got exactly what she believed for. So it turned out well with her and those connected to her. Going into 2015 we have to raise our level of expectation of who God is and what we’re going to believe. My prayer for all of us as we embark upon a new journey is a conviction in our spirit, and a concrete belief in the God we serve, that it is in fact well. So we create this reality in our lives no matter what, to decide every day that our report and our testimony is: “it is well”.
My Prayer: Heavenly Father I come to you this day, humbled and grateful because you are faithful and you care about the needs of ordinary people. Heavenly father, I pray that you help us to know and believe that no matter what, “it is well” with us. We might not know what is to come, but Father we know you and we know that your word says that allthings are working together for our good, and the good of those who love you. Heavenly Father, I pray right now in the name of Jesus, for a flood of peace in the hearts of your people, that you would allow us rest and comfort from the anxieties of life that are trying to overtake us.

Heavenly Father, help us to know that no matter what we may have to come up against as individuals or collectively as the body of Christ this year that “it is well.” We thank you for providing for us each and every day this past year and we know you will continue to do so. We thank you for every single miracle, sign, and wonder you performed for us and those connected to us, as you gave us each day our daily bread. I pray you would make us more sensitive to the Spirit that we are able to recognize more often the miraculous in our lives. We thank you for the protective angels that keep charge over us as we go out each and every day. We thank you for making ways out of now ways in every situation. We thank you for keeping our minds and our bodies in tack when at every corner, and at every turn there were things attacking us and trying to make us lose it.
Heavenly Father, help us to know you are in control in the midst of so much chaos. Help us to know that you are near and show us how to trust you with our entire beings because you are all knowing. Your word says: that life and death is in the power of the tongue. Guide our words this year and help us to speak life and truth and be more aware of the things that we say to ourselves and to each other. Help us to realize the fact that we have the power to create or destroy our lives with our words. Allow your Spirit to guide us to all truth as you direct us each individually. Heavenly Father thank you that our confidence is not in who we are, but in who you are, and with you, all things are possible.
So, as we go into this New Year, 2015, full of new hopes, renewed dreams, and new possibilities. We go into it with a faith testimony of “it is well”. I pray we will believe this testimony without a shadow of a doubt and it will be our hope and our means of making it through with victory on a day-to-day basis, as we learn to lean on you for everything concerning our lives. Giving you all the glory, honor and adoration and a high praise, hallelujah, this is my prayer, in Jesus name I pray, Amen. Shout: It is Well! Happy New Year!
