You are a new creation!
My friend, I’m sure you’re familiar with the process that the
caterpillar undergoes to become a butterfly. It’s one of nature’s most
fascinating transformations.

Everything begins with a little larva that becomes a caterpillar... a


caterpillar that forms a temporary home for itself.

Seen from the outside, this home may appear to be a place where
nothing happens. It’s almost a place of death, without movement,
without noise... but not without life…

Several days pass and all of a sudden, life bursts forth and exits the
cocoon! A pair of magnificent wings splits the sky and contributes to the
beauty of creation.

Did you know that if someone artificially opens the cocoon to help the
butterfly escape, it dies?

It’s this process of struggling to leave the chrysalis that allows the
butterfly’s wings to become sturdy and strong so that it can face the
natural elements like the wind and rain and everything else it will

encounter over the course of its life. This key passage from the chrysalis is
unavoidable and essential to the creature’s preparation.

My friend, your chrysalis is God’s heart, His presence, His love. In the secret
place, the Holy Spirit speaks to you, teaches you, and strengthens you.

The Lord is preparing you for an unlimited life of grace and strength, an
existence marked by the imprint of His steps and the seal of His victory…

• His victory over death!  (The Bible, 1 Corinthians 15:55-58)


• His victory over sickness!  (The Bible, Isaiah 53:5)


• His victory over your troubles and fears!  (The Bible, Psalm 54:7)

• His victory over all that keeps you from living freely and happily!

 It’s His victory that defines your future today!

A Miracle Every Day

Your life has a purpose!
You have been created with a particular purpose and placed in this
exact time period...to make history!

I believe that God wants to use you, His child, to touch and lift up this
world from its ashes, to pull it out of the dust. He desires to breathe life
into the “dry bones” of those around you, and He wants to use YOU to
accomplish it!

You are the Father’s arms of love surrounding the co-worker who suffers
in silence. You are the Lord’s words lifting up a friend who does not yet
know Jesus. You are the one God is sending to dry the tears spilled in
secret, to cry with those who cry and encourage them to keep going
forward.

I don’t know a single person who doesn’t need encouragement. All of us,
at one moment or another, go through trials, sickness, suffering, betrayal,
rejection…

Wherever you go, God accompanies you. His presence, His anointing, and
His healing power are with you wherever you are! It’s not about you, your
capacity to “do”... it’s about His Spirit in you.

A Miracle Every Day


6
You are absolutely unique and your way of testifying of God’s love to this
world is too.

 So don’t hold back...love, love, love!

Pray with me: “Father, I thank You that my life has purpose! I pray that it
helps others find purpose in their lives today. Use me to change this world
with Your love. In Jesus’s name, amen!”

A Miracle Every Day

The desert will bloom!
“Therefore, behold, I will allure her, will bring her into the wilderness, and
speak comfort to her.”  (The Bible, Hosea 2:14)

The dictionary definition of the word “desert” is a barren place,


ill-suited for life. Seen from this angle, the desert is not very
appealing. And yet, God’s creation is full of beautiful surprises and
rich with teachings.

When the ideal weather conditions come together, like rain, high
temperatures, and humidity, the desert flourishes.

My friend, are you going through the dry, scorching wind of the desert
right now?

If so, what is your desert called? Depression... Divorce… Sickness...


Solitude... Something else…?

Whatever its name, this desert will not be your tomb. It will not bury you.
You will not die in the desert... you will live. Yes, you will live and declare
the works of the Lord!  (see The Bible, Psalm 118:17)

A Miracle Every Day


8
By faith, rise up with strength and declare: “God—oh God of my
deliverance! God, who gives me the victory, You are the One in whom I
believe!”

Feel the latter rain  (see The Bible, Joel 2:23) on your face, receive His
life inside of you.

 Rise up and see...the desert is flourishing!

A Miracle Every Day

Have you been labeled?
Sometimes, because you were born in a certain place or into a certain
family, you carry someone’s name, or just because you are different,
people stick labels on you. This can have an enormous influence on
our lives, defining and shaping us. We often hear people say, “I am
useless,” “I’m not good at anything,” etc.

Have you been a victim of others labeling you? I would like to share with
you several thoughts which, if you receive them, can change your life and
“unstick” this label!

1. You are not what others say you are. Your new identity is this: you are
a child of the Most High God, an heir, a friend of Christ!

2. You have inestimable value. When God looks at you, He rejoices


because He sees you like He sees His Son, Jesus. He sets His affection
and all His joy on you!

3. Your past does not determine your future. Your sins have been
forgiven! The condemnation that weighs heavy on you has been
removed. God has a unique plan for your life! You are free to enter into
this plan.

A Miracle Every Day


10
4. It’s not too late! In the Bible, we see that God blessed Abraham and
Sarah. They couldn’t have children, but they believed in the One who
calls those things that are not as though they were!

Declare this with faith: “I am God’s precious child, I have


inestimable value, my past does not determine my future,
and it’s not too late!”

A Miracle Every Day


11
God knows you personally
We can only marvel at the heart filled with grace and kindness that
Jesus has for each one of us…

When I started “A Miracle Every Day,” it was in my heart to better know


you and draw near to you, your needs, and also your suffering. As my
daily email arrives in your inboxes, I receive testimonies that call for
great prayer support. Reading your emails allows me to meet you but
also to encourage you with what the Lord puts on my heart. We all have
our journeys, our paths, and they aren’t always simple. Sometimes, we
experience particularly difficult times…

“A Miracle Every Day” comes and says, “Hold on, Jesus is with you!” You
as readers are increasing more and more in numbers and with us all, the
sun never sets on the group we form! The family of “A Miracle Every Day”
extends from Canada to China, Madagascar to India, Haiti to France, and
now to the United States and the English-speaking world! I am amazed
to see the incredible divine connections made and how much they bring
encouragement to people’s lives. I invite you to read several testimonies
to encourage you to “keep going!”

A Miracle Every Day


12
• “I sent you my prayer request. And it came to pass! When I got home, my
oldest daughter that had so needed work just received a job with a
6-month contract! We are overjoyed!”

• “My wife was pregnant and suffering. Those who saw her didn’t believe
she would survive giving birth. I was in the deepest depression I had
ever experienced, but one morning, I read ‘A Miracle Every Day’ and
found the strength to continue to believe and be confident in God. I
simply repeated these words that King David wrote: “Surely goodness
and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life…” (The Bible, Psalm
23:6) and declared, ‘let this happen in my home!’ God took action, my
wife gave birth to a beautiful little girl, and we named her Joviale. She
and her mother are both in good health!”

• “‘A Miracle Every Day’ saved me from discouragement and suicide.


The first time I received ‘A Miracle Every Day,’ it was 1 a.m. in Quebec
and I was sad and discouraged. I was afraid and I didn’t want to see
another tomorrow. I didn’t stop praying and I got a notification on my
phone with a message from Éric Célérier. The message said, “God is
faithful. He is going to lift you up, dry your tears.” There is one thing I’m
certain about: ‘A Miracle Every Day’ isn’t the work of a man or men but
the work of the Holy Spirit using a man.”

A Miracle Every Day


13
• “My miracles began with an instantaneous healing. Since then, my
life and my children’s lives have been full of blessings, day after day. I
passed an exam that I had previously failed four times. In faith, I sent
out application letters everywhere. Then, I received a letter from a
company that invited me for a job interview. I prepared with the Lord’s
help and went in confidence. This was not an ordinary interview—they
presented the whole business to me. Then, I received the phone call that
I had been hired! How could I not shout with joy? God is great and His
works are magnificent.”

• “I am a single immigrant mother of two children. Without family or


friends around me, I often fall into despair when faced with the
challenges of life. ‘A Miracle Every Day’ is this tap on the back, this
reminder that I am loved, which is something I need every day!”

• “Discouragement has left. My faith has quadrupled! I have concluded


that what happens or doesn’t happen to me has no power before the
One in whom I believe. No one has recognized my work for thirty years,
but I just received an honorary PhD from an American university that I
didn’t know. It’s a miracle from God!”

A Miracle Every Day


14
I bless the Lord for these precious testimonies and give Him all the glory.
I pray that He continues to guide me and give me, each day, this word
that saves, encourages, and lifts His children up. You are a magnificent
creation of God, my friend! Your Father in heaven loves you and I love you
as well with the love of the Lord. Don’t hesitate to turn to Him with all
your needs.

“Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain
mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”  (The Bible, Hebrews 4:16)

A Miracle Every Day


15
Forgiving again
Forgiving AGAIN? What is this, a new doctrine?

Actually, it’s not! It’s one of Jesus’s teachings that is really important for
us to understand.

The other day, one of my friends was talking with me about a person who
had really hurt me in the past by publicly slandering me on the Internet.

All of a sudden, even though I had already forgiven this person from the
bottom of my heart and wished the person the very best, feelings from
the past popped right back up. I was annoyed and angry, at the very
least internally. I wanted to take action, get vengeance. But God is clear:
vengeance is His, not ours…

Fortunately, God taught me an important truth. We have to forgive, and


then forgive again. One day, Peter, one of Jesus’s disciples, approached
his Master. He likely wanted to impress Him so he asked, ‘“Lord, how
often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven
times?”’ I think Peter tried his best, but Jesus’s response was surprising:
490 times!!  (See The Bible, Matthew 18:21-22)

A Miracle Every Day


16
Is it possible that someone could hurt us 490 times? It’s possible, though
unlikely. Yet, if we think about how someone hurt us dozens, maybe
hundreds of times per day—or even 7 times a day, for 70 days in a row
(490)—unfortunately, this could definitely happen.

I believe that Jesus is teaching us that when these memories come back
to haunt us, we need to forgive… actually, forgive again.

This forgiveness is a choice, and staying in forgiveness is a choice as well.


I made this choice concerning this person who had hurt me. I re-forgave
the same person, not because of some new wrong done to me, but
because the original wrong hurt again.

Take heart! I’m just like you…you’re not alone in needing to forgive again!

Declare with me: “Lord, the memories have come up again, and right now, I
choose to re-forgive that person who hurt me. I release him/her to You, and
I ask You to remove any lingering pain or bitterness from my heart. I choose
Your freedom today! In Jesus’s name, amen.”

A Miracle Every Day


17
Let the fragrance of your
worship rise!
My friend, I love to listen to worship and praise songs. I thank God
for all the amazing Christian worship bands and leaders. Many
composers have written incredibly beautiful songs for the glory of
God, and it is good to join in with these songs and worship Him.

Yet, there is nothing like the words you bring to God in your unique and
personal way. Nothing can replace the fragrance of your praise! The
Father’s heart yearns to hear your voice, the song rising from your heart.
Like Cory Asbury, a wonderful worship leader, sings in one of his songs,
“No one else can love you like I love You, Lord. ‘Cuz I was made unique in
Your heart. I was made to bring You joy!” 

This morning, heaven lends an ear to your voice. Heaven attentively waits
for a new song, a song straight from your heart. The Bible encourages
us…

“Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous! For praise from the upright is
beautiful. Praise the Lord with the harp; make melody to Him with an
instrument of ten strings. Sing to Him a new song; play skillfully with a
shout of joy.”  (The Bible, Psalm 33:1-3)

A Miracle Every Day


18
Today, bring a new song, a new melody even here and now! Let it ring
forth! Pour out the fragrance of your worship at the Lord’s feet.

And when you’re not in a place where you can sing aloud, may your heart
continue to sing... let worship remain the “background music” of your life
today.

 Let the fragrance of your worship rise!

A Miracle Every Day


19
Your attitude determines your
altitude!
Today, we’re going to take a look at verse 6 of Psalm 27, a verse of
faith and action.

“And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me;
therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle; I will sing, yes, I will
sing praises to the Lord.”  (The Bible, Psalm 27:6)

As Zig Ziglar said, “Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your
altitude.” You can sense the extent to which David demonstrates this
exemplary type of attitude in this verse.

• He believes and by faith already visualizes his head being lifted up


above his surrounding enemies. He no longer sees his enemies. He
sees God lifting him up, blessing him, restoring him, rewarding him!

• He puts himself in the future. I will offer... I will sing... I will praise... his
future days are assured. He knows that God is going to raise him up.

• He already begins to thank God for what will be given to him. Already
his heart and mouth are full of praises!

A Miracle Every Day


20
You cannot choose the circumstances that happen to you, but you can
decide how to respond to them! Choose the attitude that will allow you
to rise above the storm, the clouds, and the turbulence. Remember that
above the clouds, the sky is still blue!

 Choose today the right attitude that will determine


your altitude!

A Miracle Every Day


21
All things are possible!
When he signed one of his books for me, Father Pedro, who started
an incredible ministry with the street children of Madagascar and is
considered to be the country’s “Mother Teresa,” wrote, “All things are
possible to him who believes.”  (The Bible, Mark 9:23)

Imagine a city with schools, stadiums, enormous venues,


churches...all of this in what used to be the poorest neighborhood
in Madagascar, near one of the largest landfills in the world, where
thousands of children used to sort through trash just to survive.

It is there, by faith, that a man who was very sick (with malaria and 7
parasites) and nearly ready to leave the island and return to his native
country, Argentina, began to take in these children. For 27 years now,
Father Pedro has tirelessly received, provided for, and shown the love of
God to thousands of children and families. He believed that all things are
possible to him who believes and that nothing is impossible for God! 

A Miracle Every Day


22
He believed when everything was telling him it was impossible. He
believed when he was sick and weak. He believed when the politicians
weren’t supporting him. He believed when his church did not come
alongside him.

When we believe, the impossible becomes possible.

 My friend, because you believe, you also will see the


impossible become possible!

A Miracle Every Day


23
Let not your heart be troubled
Jesus declares, “‘Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the
world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be
afraid.’”  (The Bible, John 14:27)

Are your thoughts troubled? Are things twisting and turning in


your head? Perhaps an internal alarm seems to be going off as your
agitated mind searches for a solution.

Jesus says to you today, let not your heart be troubled.

“‘I am with you always, even to the end of the age.’”


 (The Bible, Matthew 28:20)

“‘All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.’”


 (The Bible, Matthew 28:18)

Let Jesus take care of your struggles. He said, “‘Come to Me, all you who
labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.’”
 (The Bible, Matthew 11:28)

 This is my prayer for you today.

A Miracle Every Day


24
Don’t compare yourself to
others any longer…
Someone once said, “If you have a tendency to compare yourself to
others, it’s time to slam the door on those thoughts!”

I would like to help you to slam that door shut today!

Jesus once told the story of a man who loved to compare himself to
others. He prayed like this: “I thank You that I am not like other men.” He
loved to compare himself because he believed his religiosity made him
superior. What a mistake! Jesus said that this man went back to his house
like he came, unforgiven, unjustified.  (See The Bible, Luke 18:11)

Many people struggle by comparing themselves to others, thinking others


are “better” than they are. Men and women alike look at magazines
with photoshopped pictures and then put themselves down. They
see themselves as ugly, too fat, etc. They also look at other people’s
successes and say to themselves, “Why don’t I measure up like they do?”

Comparing yourself to people you don’t know, whose pictures were


retouched—is this really helpful? In all honesty, does this help or harm you?

A Miracle Every Day


25
Learn instead to see yourself as God sees you! He created you; He desired
your existence. He made you unique, with special gifts. You have infinite
value in His eyes. He loves you passionately. You are a jewel, a precious
pearl, a priceless treasure. He gave everything for you, even His own life
on the cross.

 Today, He says to you, “I love you! You are My


child. I’m blessing and helping you.”

Comparing yourself to others won’t help you. But realizing that you have
everything in Christ Jesus can change your life forever!

A Miracle Every Day


26
God justifies you!
“Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies.”
 (The Bible, Romans 8:33)

I really enjoy watching the sunrise. The sky leaves its nocturnal cloak
behind and dons itself in light... darkness is engulfed by the light.

Today, the sun of justice is rising on your life, my friend. Christ is


liberating you…
• From the shame of your past
• From the words of death that were spoken to you
• From the words of condemnation that haunt your thoughts.

My friend, Christ liberates you and His voice is stronger than the voice of
the accuser of your soul! This means that…
• Shame has no hold on you
• Your past is not the authority
• You are washed clean, white as snow, purified
• God is the One who executes justice!

Don’t let yourself be torn down by accusations, rumors, lies...This


morning, while all creation awakens, the sun of justice is rising on your
life, my friend!

A Miracle Every Day


27
You are a diamond
The diamond is king among the precious stones. It is the most
researched and the most appreciated of all the gems because of its
rareness and beauty. Yet, this magnificent jewel looks like a coarse,
common rock when it is first extracted.

Time, attention, and the skill of a real expert are needed for the stone to
become this exceptional gem.

My friend, you are this diamond! You are this precious stone, this
exceptional gem called to reflect the glory of its Creator.

God uses time and the circumstances of your life to shape you. He takes
the time to carve you so that you become the person He’s calling you to be.

Thus, what appears to be a trial, an obstacle, or a delay at first glance is


actually a tool in the Lord’s hands!

 My friend, you are this diamond ready to shine in


dazzling light for the glory of God!

A Miracle Every Day


28
Love is the ultimate measure
of success
Jesus said it is by your love for each other that the world will know that
you are His disciples.  (see The Bible, John 13:35)

The society we live in measures the success of people and situations


by their performance and efficiency…

However, I believe that the Lord offers us different criteria:


• The quality of relationships
• The love we give to others
• The care and attention we bring to our families and friends

Our God is the ultimate God of relationships. Consider this for a


moment... when He created humanity, He created one man and one
woman. Because His power is unlimited, He could have instantaneously
created nations, just by speaking it out!

Why didn’t He? What’s even more astonishing is that God said His
creation was very good, meaning that it was completed and everything
was perfect!

A Miracle Every Day


29
Jesus loves you in a unique, personal way. He doesn’t see you as lost
in the crowd; on the contrary, His gaze perceives in you everything that
makes you distinct and an individual.

 God invites you to make Jesus your model—to love,


act, and speak like Him!

A Miracle Every Day


30
The cloud is coming…
“Then it came to pass the seventh time, that he said, ‘There is a cloud, as
small as a man’s hand, rising out of the sea!’ So he said, ‘Go up, say to Ahab,
‘Prepare your chariot, and go down before the rain stops you.’”
 (The Bible, 1 Kings 18:44)

The Bible tells us that God’s answer to one of the worst droughts in
Israel’s history was a cloud not bigger than someone’s palm. A tiny
cloud, but a huge potential…!

Are you facing a drought emotionally, spiritually, physically,


professionally, or relationally right now?

God is sending His cloud. It may not be very big or imposing. Perhaps it
won’t be something that grabs people’s attention.

Today, I invite you to trust Him... to not expect God’s “how” (which may
not be what you have imagined) but rather, to place your expectation in
the Lord Himself.

A Miracle Every Day


31
And yes, as surprising as it might seem, the Lord uses little things to pull
us out of situations that are beyond us…

• Moses had a staff to save an entire people


 (see The Bible, Exodus 4:2-3)

• Goliath was conquered by a shepherd and his smooth stones


 (see The Bible, 1 Samuel 17:40-50)

• The widow received what she needed to pay her debts and live thanks
to a bit of oil
 (see The Bible, 2 Kings 4:1-7)

• The Savior of the world came... in the form of a little baby
 (see The Bible, Luke 2:10-13)

The power of the solution is not in its size, but in the might of the One
who brings it about in your life!

A Miracle Every Day


32
Don’t apologize for being
alive!
The other day I heard someone say, “I’m sorry for being alive!” I was
stunned and yet…

• Many people think that their lives are useless. They apologize for
being alive. But God has a plan for their lives. He has plans of peace
and a future for them!  (see The Bible, Jeremiah 29:11)

• Many people don’t like themselves. They apologize for being alive.
But Jesus said that you shall love your neighbor as yourself.
 (The Bible, Matthew 19:19) Isn’t that incredible? It’s the will of God
that we love ourselves!

• Many were not told they had worth or value when they were children.
Instead, they were shamed with negative comments like, “You’re
good for nothing,” “You can’t do anything,” “You’ll never succeed,”
“You’ll never amount to anything.” They apologize for being alive. But
God says to them, “You are my beloved son/daughter in whom I am
well pleased!”  (see The Bible, Matthew 3:17)

• Many are weak, afflicted with sickness or with situations that seem
inextricable. They apologize for being alive. But the Almighty God says

A Miracle Every Day


33
to them, “‘I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you
with My righteous right hand.’”  (see The Bible, Isaiah 41:10)

• Many don’t fully live their lives in God and are ridden with guilt and
shame. They apologize for being alive. But Jesus came that they may
have abundant life. There is now no condemnation for those who are
in Christ Jesus.  (see The Bible, Romans 8:1)

• Many compare themselves to others and feel that they’re less


somehow—less capable, less talented. They apologize for being
alive. But God has made them unique people, people who are able to
do valiantly! The Bible says, “Through God we will do valiantly, for it
is He who shall tread down our enemies.”
 (see The Bible, Psalm 60:12)

• Many have been abused physically, morally, spiritually, and


emotionally and lost confidence in themselves, others, and God. They
apologize for being alive. But our Father God is full of affection for
them. He longs to restore them! He will never leave them or forsake
them.  (See The Bible, Joshua 1:5)

A Miracle Every Day


34
Did you see yourself in this list, my friend? If so, don’t apologize for being
alive. God will heal and deliver you—He wants the best for you!

And if you encounter someone who seems to apologize for being alive,
look at that person with love and encourage him/her because God has
not said His final word!

Declare with me today: “Lord, I choose to never again apologize for being
alive. I’m sorry for the times I already have. You created me! You love me
and I believe You have a good plan for my life. No fear or shame can stop
the promises You have made in my life! I choose hope, I choose life, I choose
to forgive myself...and I choose to love myself. In Jesus’s name, amen!”

A Miracle Every Day


35
God does miracles!
Today, I’d like to share with you a few more of the many testimonies
I’ve received. I pray that they help you believe that nothing is
impossible for God. All things are possible for him who believes!
Enjoy…

• “I received a miracle when you wrote the email “Faith—it’s all I have!”
That morning, I prayed for my sister-in-law, Rama, who had Lyell’s
Syndrome. There was nothing that anyone could do to save her because
at that moment in Gabon, where she lives, the hospitals were on strike.
And more, there simply was no remedy to save her. But my God saved
her. Today, she is in good health and has returned to her home. I want to
give all the glory to Jesus!”

• “While reading ‘A Miracle Every Day,’ the Holy Spirit spoke to me about
spiritual victories. So I started to proclaim the Word of God with
authority over the life of my brother, who does not know the Lord and
has been struggling in his business and personal finances for years. He
was at the point where he often spoke of committing suicide because of
the creditors’ harassment and the extent of his legal problems. I
received good news from my brother on the phone—he said that over
the previous two weeks, his business had taken off again and his
customers had returned. I thus was able to testify to him that Jesus had
intervened!”

A Miracle Every Day


36
• “I was surrounded by atheists who loved to incite arguments and stir
things up. Whenever I tried to testify of Jesus Christ or what God has
done in my life, they would sneer or even roar with laughter. I had had
enough. I started to give them short summaries of ‘A Miracle Every Day’
and little by little, their interest was finally piqued and they began to
listen. It’s through this that the Word of God started speaking to them.
And it’s only getting better and better... glory to God!”

• “I needed money this past Saturday before noon for a loan payment.
I had absolutely nothing and I remembered your testimony about the
parking place. I said to the Lord, ‘Pastor Eric Célérier believed and You
gave him a parking place and I’ve heard many others’ testimonies as
well. I have no one to rely on, no one to help me—my eyes are on You,
Lord, and I know that You are able to give me this money.’ I believed and
counted on God with all my strength and He provided. Hallelujah! He
gave me the money and even more before my deadline.”

• “When I began to receive and read ‘A Miracle Every Day,’ I was single. It
had been years that I had prayed and asked God for a husband with
whom I could serve Him. I can tell you that the Lord is faithful. He turned
my request into a reality—I am now married! What an incredible day. A
thousand thanks to our marvelous, all-powerful God!”

• “I saw God’s promise become a reality in my profession—the Lord gave
me a new job. And more, He healed me when I was sick and far away
from my family.”

• “At the beginning of ‘A Miracle Every Day,’ I wrote to Eric because I


needed prayer for money to rent my apartment. I felt that I was truly
supported spiritually, and I saw the miracle—I am finally able to rent my
apartment! Thank you for the prayers!”

Isn’t it incredible what God does? The Bible says, “...Marvelous are Your
works, and that my soul knows very well.”  (The Bible, Psalm 139:14)

Let’s take a moment together and praise God for His works!

 Everything is possible with Him!


“I sought the Lord, and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.”
 (The Bible, Psalm 34:4)

A Miracle Every Day


38
You fear nothing!
Here’s an extraordinary and perhaps surprising declaration: “I am
delivered from all fear. I fear nothing!”

That’s the promise that God speaks to you today, my friend: you are
liberated from fear. It no longer has any hold on you! And this is why:

• In the face of your doubts, God speaks to your heart and strengthens
you by His power. You do not tremble.

• In the face of your worries, He gives you His peace that surpasses all
understanding. You are unshakeable.

• In the face of your uncertainties, His Spirit guides and counsels you.
You are making good decisions.

 Fear flees because you seek God and receive His word
every day. It is leaving your life, in the name of Jesus!

A Miracle Every Day

Is God truly tarrying in
giving His answer?
Have you ever had to wait in a doctor’s, hairdresser’s, or restaurant’s
waiting room? Sometimes the wait is bearable...you consider it to be
reasonable. Other times it’s too much...too long...too many people!
You don’t want to wait any longer. You want to get out of this waiting
room!

“He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in
their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from
beginning to end.”  (The Bible, Ecclesiastes 3:11)

How much time will there be between the promise and when it comes to
pass? Has God forgotten you? Did He lie? The sure answer to these last
two questions is no, of course not!

God cannot forget you, and He certainly is not making fun of you or
ignoring you. So...what’s happening? The wait is a step that’s an integral
part of the fulfillment of His promise, of the call. The wait and the
promise are inseparable.

A Miracle Every Day


40
It’s in the waiting room that your character is shaped and formed. It’s in
this room that you gain strength and stability. It’s in the secret place of
His presence that your intimacy with the Lord grows.

You learn to better know Him, to distinguish the sound of His voice
among a thousand others. Thus, when it’s time to move to the next step,
the higher step, you’re ready for what awaits you when God opens the
door!

 My friend, wait patiently in peace and trust


because God’s divine promise is on its way!

Listen to the song of heaven
“And one cried to another and said: ‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the
whole earth is full of His glory!’”  (The Bible, Isaiah 6:3)

Today, you’ll probably read the newspaper or watch a news channel


to stay informed about what’s happening in your country and the
world. They will, without fail, talk about catastrophes, deaths, wars,
the economic crisis, and so on and so forth.

Every day, depressing, bleak information and news reach your ears.

Yet, you have been created to hear one sound in particular... heaven’s
sound. One voice in particular...the Holy Spirit’s voice. One heart in
particular... the heart of the Father.

A Miracle Every Day


42
In the middle of all this noise surrounding you, you can train your ear to
distinguish God’s voice! Here’s how you can go about it! By...
• Reading His Word
• Praying
• Singing His praises
• Worshipping Him
• Resting in Him
• Meditating on the sweet, heavenly inspirations He has placed in your
heart

 My friend, because you are attentive to His voice,


you’re going to bring a different sound on this
earth... the sound of heaven. And our world truly
needs it!

A Miracle Every Day


43
Do you sometimes feel too
guilty to pray?
My friend, God’s love is greater and stronger than your mistakes. Yet,
sometimes you may think, “I’ve made this mistake too many times”
or “God has given up on me this time” or “I can’t go before His holy
presence like this.”

Do not accept these lies from the enemy. God is not rejecting you—quite
the opposite!!

“Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you
sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.”
 (The Bible, James 4:8)

Go before Him in prayer and share with Him your worries, your pain, your
regrets... If you take the step to seek His forgiveness and His presence, He
will draw near to you. He will let Himself be found by you.

God loves you and it is not His will that you be crushed by the weight
of sin. You are not the sins you have committed. Draw near to Him with
humility and receive His loving mercy and grace!

It’s going to be ok
Have you ever heard how a mother reacts when her child falls down
and starts to cry?

I love what she often says to comfort her child: “There, there, don’t cry,
it’s going to be ok…”

My friend, hear this morning what your Father is saying to you: “It’s going
to be ok.”
• The children are unmanageable at the moment?
It’s going to be ok.
• There’s a bill that you don’t know how you’re going to pay?
It’s going to be ok.
• You’re afraid for yourself, your children, your loved ones?
It’s going to be ok.
• You don’t know what to do, faced with this difficult decision?
It’s going to be ok.

My friend, everything’s going to be alright because your wonderful


and good Father is watching over you. He is with you and for you. He’s
protecting, equipping, and taking care of you, as Vanessa and Karine
wrote in their testimonies…

A Miracle Every Day

“God gave me the strength to forgive the people who had hurt me. Today,
I’ve turned the page and I’m moving forward with God. Yes, I can do all
things through Christ who strengthens me!”
Vanessa, France

“‘A Miracle Every Day” has helped me understand that I have huge worth in
God’s eyes. No matter how others may see me, no matter my wounds from
the past, I am precious to God and He loves me as I am. I have faith for the
future and I’m letting God work in my life.”
Karine, Guadeloupe

It’s going to be ok, my friend. Everything will be


alright. Your God reigns over all the universe, and
over your life, even in this day. Receive His peace.
This is my prayer for you today.

Do you know the benefits
of laughing?
I understand that life is difficult and that sometimes we don’t want to
laugh or even smile. Be reassured...God hears the voice of your tears,
the Bible says  (see The Bible, Psalm 6:8).

Yet, God desires to replace tears with laughter, the cloak of heaviness
with a garment of praise and joy!  (The Bible, Isaiah 61:3) “To give
them... the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.”

Did you know that joy, and more precisely, laughter, has powerful
benefits?

According to different research, laughter:


• Helps conquer depression
• Reduces pain
• Improves cardiovascular function and dilates the lungs
• Helps us relax
• Improves mood
• Boosts the immune system
• Releases pent-up anger
• Develops our imagination and creativity

A Miracle Every Day


47
Joy is good for your health!

God created it for our good and pleasure, so don’t hesitate to cultivate it
and increase it in your life!

Its advantages, for us and others, are immense.

Someone once said, “A hearty laugh can help you feel better, longer. And
it can also help others feel well! It’s difficult to not laugh when someone
else is laughing. Whatever it is that makes you laugh, find time for it. It’s
good for you!”

 The life that Jesus gives you is worth being fully


lived!

Continue to dream
“For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which
God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.”
 (The Bible, Ephesians 2:10)

“What do you want to do when you grow up?” Who hasn’t heard this
question?

If you’ve heard or answered this question, I’m sure that the answer was
never, “Nothing—I’m not going to do anything. I’m going to be the worst
in my class. I want to be the one who fails at everything!”

Of course not! Children have this incredible ability to dream big...very big.
Hope deeply... very deeply. And how about you, my friend? Is the sky still
your limit when you dream? Or with time, disappointment, words spoken
over you by one person or another, have you stopped dreaming big for
your life?

The Spirit of God is in you. His desire is to breathe His creativity, energy,
and joy into your life so that you can accomplish what you were born
to do. The abilities and gifts that you have, whether they be in human
resources, information technology, working with children, medicine,

A Miracle Every Day


49
the creative arts, managing your home, sales, social services, etc., have
been entrusted to you by God!

He has not “miscast” you. He trusts you, and He’s counting on you. God is
guiding you each step of the way. He dwells so close to you. Don’t listen to
the little voice that tells you you’ll never do anything significant—it’s a lie!

My friend, you have a big God, so let yourself dream big again. Rely on His
Spirit, seek His face, and give Him glory as you accomplish the works that
 He prepared beforehand for you!

Pray with me: “Father, I know You have awesome dreams for me and You
haven’t given up on them. But time, hope deferred, people’s words, and
other things have made these dreams fade in my life. Today, I choose to let
myself dream again! I trust You. In Jesus’s name, amen.”

Yes, you will succeed!
“‘Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be
afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you
go.’”  (The Bible, Joshua 1:9)

Maybe right now you find yourself at a crossroads in your life... What
is this challenge, this new adventure, reaching out to you?

• A new job?
• The birth of a baby?
• An upcoming marriage?
• A move?
• Something else?

It is natural and human, when faced with new challenges, to feel


apprehensive or even have a certain fear. Change, even positive change,
always creates its share of discomfort.

Rise up, mighty man of valor! Rise up, mighty woman of valor! The
goodness of the Lord has not reached its end. God is upholding you. He is
your strength and your support, your help in times of storms and trouble!

A Miracle Every Day


51
You are going to come to the end of this desert, get through this season,
be successful at this project, land that job…

You will succeed because the Lord, the God of the heavenly hosts, is with
you! He is for you. He is on your side.

His Word says it—He is with you WHEREVER you go!

Choose to have confidence in Him. Choose to follow Him. His powerful


hand is taking hold of you and bringing you to another level, toward new
horizons.

 You are called to great things and by the Spirit of


God, you will succeed... yes, you will succeed!

Thanks for existing!
