My dear friend, today we are meditating on I Peter 5:10, which says, “The Lord Himself will restore you and make you strong, firm, and steadfast.” Just as He has promised, God will build up your life. Today, you may feel as if everything is shaking around you. Perhaps people have turned against you. You may have lost the hard-earned savings you gathered over the years. You could be burdened by debt and weighed down by shame in your family. You may be wondering, “How will I survive in this society?” But, my dear friend, the Lord Himself will restore you! He will build you up and make you strong once again.

That is exactly what happened in the life of Satya Sheela, a dear sister from Chennai. Her family was living in a leased house, preparing to move to a bigger place. The owner of their current home owed them one and a half lakhs. However, out of nowhere, the owner refused to return the money, leaving Satya Sheela completely shattered. In desperation, she considered filing a police complaint, hoping to get back what was rightfully hers. Despite her distress, she continued to seek God at the Jesus Calls Prayer Tower in Chennai, pouring out her heart before Him. Around that time, she heard about the Miracle Fasting Prayer through her sister. It is a special fasting prayer meeting where Dr. Paul Dhinakaran and his family would pray for each individual. With great faith, she attended the Fasting Prayer that month, praying fervently alongside Dr. Paul, placing her burden before the Lord.

During the meeting, as Dr. Paul prayed and prophesied, he began to call out specific names and problems from the crowd. With a longing heart, she cried out, “Lord, call out my problem and deliver me!” And just as she prayed, Dr. Paul prophesied, saying, “There is a woman in this crowd who needs her money to be returned. God will restore it to her.” Within just a few days, the very person who had refused to return her money suddenly called her and returned the full amount! The situation that once seemed hopeless and shattered was entirely rebuilt by God. He made her life firm, strong, and steadfast once again.

Yes, my dear friend, today you may be going through a similar struggle. You might be facing shame, financial trouble, or uncertainty about the future. You may feel like your life has fallen apart, unsure of what next step to take. But take heart. God will build you up! The Lord Himself will restore you. He will make you firm, strong, and steadfast. He will establish your life! Shall we claim this promise for today?

PRAYER: 
Loving Lord, I come before You with a heart full of faith and surrender. When everything around me seems to be shaking, You are my firm foundation. Restore me, Lord, and build up my life according to Your perfect will. Strengthen me in times of weakness and make me steadfast in my faith. Remove every burden of shame, debt, and uncertainty that weighs me down. Fill me with the peace that comes from trusting in Your divine provision. Let Your promise in I Peter 5:10 be fulfilled in my life today. Make me strong and firm in the midst of every trial. I believe that You will establish my life and bless me abundantly. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
