Are you feeling weary and stressed today? God has you covered.

Certain Bible passages, confirm that angels offer the prayers of the saints [all born-again believers in Christ], to God. Passages like Revelation 5:8 and Revelation 8:3-4, depict angels and elders presenting the prayers of believers on Earth, to God as incense. This shows angels acting as conduits for our prayers, bringing them before God.

Why incense?

The sweet-smelling smoke of incense rising to heaven, symbolizes how God receives and treasures the sincere prayers of His people.

The Bible teaches that the prayers of believers are like sweet incense to God.This imagery is found in the Old Testament, where the psalmist prays to God, "May my prayer be set before you like incense" (Psalm 141:2).


"Angels at the altar of God offered incense", describes a scene from the Book of Revelation in the Bible, specifically Revelation 8:3-4, where an angel presents incense with the prayers of all the saints before God's throne, symbolizing the pleasing nature and acceptance of believers' prayers.This symbolic act connects to the earthly altar of incense in the Old Testament, which foreshadowed Christ's intercession and represented the prayers of God's people.

Angels in this context are not acting as mediators between us and God, as Jesus was appointed by His Father in Heaven, as the only Mediator between God and man [1st Timothy 2:5].

Angels serve as assistants in the presentation of our prayers. God said not to pray to angels [the first commandment]. Instead, angels serve God's purpose in being involved with the prayers of believers... acting as "ministering spirits". That is, their ministry is directed towards believers who will "inherit salvation," -- those who will receive eternal glory, through their faith in Jesus Christ. Hebrews 1:14.

God's sees and hears all. You may rest assured that God takes notice of you, every single time you are sad, or shed even one tear.


If God can restore a man like Lazarus, back to life, there's no doubt he can restore everything in your life, back to life -- everything that is broken. I have seen him do this many times, in my own times of need. Even this week, He was so faithful and caring, as always, and delivered me out of a very difficult time. He will definitely do the same for you. I can vouch to you this morning that God reached down and pulled me out of a very bad situation, so I know He can do the same for you!

Absolutely nothing is too hard for God. He proved that once again to me this week, as He answered my prayers.

If you're thinking that all may be lost, don't be so sure. As you come to God in faith and prayer, your problems are addressed before Him in heaven as soon as you speak them -- and what seemed like a catastrophe, God can turn around instantly, restoring what seemed impossible to you. He'll give you a brand new start in life -- a new beginning, just as He did me this week. Hold on in faith, and God will take over the rest. He's got your back!

I miss your kind advice you use to give me in my posts.
@Cigarguy Oh, dear heart, if only I could catch up and stay caught up as I'd love to do, but as I've mentioned a few times, there's so many people here, and I love each and every one of you so much, but with my health, it's an impossible feat. However, you're all in my heart every day, and I keep everyone here in prayer. A person just can't always do what they would like sometimes. I have things in my own life that take so much of my time. Sometimes I wish I was omnipresent like God so that I could spread myself to keep up with everyone. 🤭 but like right now, if I don't take care of my health, I won't be here at all and that takes a lot of time and effort, besides the fact that my sister is in the hospital in excruciating pain and may need an operation, which makes it very rough for her husband who is terminally ill and she's the one that always takes care of him, so now I'm not sure how that's going to work. But rest assured that I love you so much, and think of you often. I know it's not the same as writing, but given a ton of factors, I just can't keep up. I don't even come here that often anymore or write my articles as much anymore. If I do, I could lose my eyesight and I'm not going to risk that. Please take care of yourself and know that you're my darling friend that I love always. 🫂🙏❤ Big hugs You're precious. 😘 to you and the kids.
