Send us your feedback — we're listeningJoshua 1:9 — Jesus, Give Me Courage as the Day Begins to Close Live from London, England — Argentina • Brazil • Mozambique • Paraguay • Cape Verde oração da tarde • coragem em Cristo • renovar a força • esperança para continuar • encorajamento diário Joshua 1:9 (NIV): “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” Hebrews 10:35 (NIV): “So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded.” As evening draws near, Jesus, I pause to breathe and realign my heart with Your strength. The day may have carried moments of pressure, uncertainty, or emotional weariness, but now I place every part of it into Your hands. Your words to Joshua remind me that courage rises not from my own ability but from knowing that You are with me in every hour, every place, and every step. Where discouragement has tried to surface, let Your presence steady my emotions and renew my resolve. Calm the restlessness that sometimes appears as the day closes, and help me trust that You are working even when I cannot see the whole picture. Holy Spirit, breathe confidence into my heart. Bring clarity to the thoughts that feel unsettled and lift away the heaviness that may have gathered throughout the day. Strengthen the places within me that feel fragile or stretched. Guide my emotions toward peace so that I end this day with trust instead of tension. Let Your encouragement fill the spaces where doubt has whispered. Replace uncertainty with steady assurance. Let confidence rise gently, shaping the rest of this evening with Your calm and Your strength. Lord, help me carry Your words into the night ahead. Where decisions still linger, give wisdom. Where emotions feel worn, bring renewal. Where I fear falling short, remind me that You walk beside me with patience and kindness. Let courage grow quietly within me. Help me release today's pressures and welcome Your peace. May the closing of this day be filled with the assurance that You remain near, guiding, supporting, and strengthening me for all that tomorrow may hold. evening prayer courage, Joshua 1:9 devotional, oração de coragem à tarde, Hebrews 10:35 confidence, strength for the evening, Portuguese Christian encouragement, end-of-day renewal prayer, Christ-centered uplift, esperança e força em Cristo, daily devotional comfort evening courage, Joshua 1:9, Portuguese devotional, 6pm prayer, confidence in Christ, emotional renewal, Jesus encouragement,Support the showFor more inspiring content, visit RBChristianRadio.net — your home for daily devotionals, global prayer, and biblical encouragement for every season of life.

The Holy Spirit is not just a concept, but a vibrant, active presence in our lives as believers. This message unpacks the multifaceted role of the Holy Spirit, revealing Him as our regenerator, transformer, and constant companion. We're reminded that the Spirit is our encourager, counselor, and strength-giver, always cheering us on in our faith journey. The message draws from various scriptures, particularly highlighting Jesus' words in Acts 1:8 about receiving power when the Holy Spirit comes upon us. This power manifests in numerous ways - from giving us boldness in the face of fear to helping us understand the Scriptures more deeply. As we reflect on these truths, we're challenged to recognize and lean into the Holy Spirit's work in our lives, allowing Him to shape us more into Christ's image daily. This message invites us to embrace the Holy Spirit's presence, seeing Him not as a distant force, but as an intimate partner in our spiritual growth and daily walk with God.   Find a C3 Church Near You: https://www.c3churchglobal.com   If you want to give to help C3 Church Global plant new churches around the world, head to https://www.c3churchglobal.com/giving   Follow Me On Social Media: https://www.youtube.com/@Philpringle?sub_confirmation=1  https://instagram.com/philpringle https://www.facebook.com/psphilpringle https://www.tiktok.com/@philpringl https://twitter.com/philpringle    Purchase a copy of my books today: https://philpringle.com/store

I'm going to talk about the importance of trading with strength and weakness in your favor. It's going to give you a massively improved trading performance. Let's talk about that and more right now. Hi there, Traders! Andrew Mitchem here at The Forex Trading Coach with video and podcast number 571. Analysing Currency Strength & Weakness. Today is all about analyzing currency, strength and weakness. Why we do it, how we do it, and how it can massively help increase your overall trading performance. So you think about it in terms of basics. Well, if you're trading something that strong against something as weak. Logic would suggest, it has to add more probability to the trade. A real trading example using the Japanese Yen. Here's a classic example. Let's say the Japanese yen was very weak across the board. And you're looking at a chart, let's say it's the daily chart and you're looking at the JPY it's going up. You're looking at EUR/JPY, it's going up. The USD/JPY, the CHF/JPY, the AUD/JPY and NZD/JPY, USD/JPY, SGD/JPY, HKD/JPY, whatever it is that you have on your charts, everything against the yen is going up. So therefore there's massive yen weakness at this point in time. Now you're probably unlikely to go and take all of those trades even if they were suitable candle patterns, even if they had some round numbers to protect, stop losses and they had room to hit that profit target. So all the things that we look for, you're unlikely to go and say take ¥8, ¥9, ¥10 related pairs. So what you're prepared to do is analyze strength and weakness. Now, we clearly know that right now in our example, the yen is the weakest currency. But what happens if, say, the Australian dollar, the New Zealand dollar and the Canadian dollar were all fairly weak against everything else apart from the yen? So those are the commodity currencies and they tend to move together. So let's say you're looking at the AUD/USD, it was heading down, the AUD/GBP was open, Aussie is heading up. So there's Aussie weakness. You're looking at NZD/USD, it's heading down against the franc is heading down. There's a lot of weakness overall in the New Zealand, the Aussie and the Canadian. So that is telling us that maybe with our strength and weakness analysis that maybe that the AUD/JPY, the NZD/JPY and the CAD/JPY are probably not going to be your high probability trades on those daily charts that we talked about. Refining the pairs you trade further.   You could also go as far as saying, well, let's have a look at, let's say the EUR/JPY and the GBP/JPY. Also looking good. You could go as far as say, let's have a look at the EUR/GBP and let's say the EUR/GBP was heading down massively big red bearish candle on the EUR/GBP. That again tells us that the euro's got weakness and the pound's, got strength. So now when we go to the GBP/JPY, we're now trading a very strong currency with a very weak one. And therefore you may not want to take the EUR/JPY as well. So you might only be taking, let's say the GBP/JPYH, the USD/JPY, you might see the SGD/JPY, all the HKD/JPY yen or the CHF/JPY also good.

While divorce rates have fallen from their peak, they are still very high, with women initiating the vast majority of them. The divorce rate among American Christians is also too high. While divorce is difficult for non-religious men, Christian men face unique issues. Their churches are likely to blame them for the divorce, and they are likely to lose their friend network at church as well.Men's devotional writer and podcaster Chris Bolinger joins me to discuss what Christian men need to know to survive divorce.Buy Chris Bolinger's 400,000 copy selling men's devotional Daily Strength for Men: https://www.amazon.com/Daily-Strength-Men-365-Day-Devotional/dp/1424557534/?&_encoding=UTF8&tag=theurban-20My article on what to do when your wife divorces you: https://www.aaronrenn.com/p/newsletter-40-what-to-do-when-your My article on how to help your friends whose wive's divorced them: https://www.aaronrenn.com/p/newsletter-41-how-to-help-our-friendsSubscribe to my newsletter: https://www.aaronrenn.com/

What's your favorite Bible translation? Does it really matter which one you choose?Sometimes it does. In fact, the translation – or mistranslation – of a single word of the Bible can make a big difference. It may even skew your view of God in a critical area, such as restoration.This week's Bible passage: Job 42:10-17Podcast resource: 52 Weeks of Strength for Men (ebook, paperback, study guide)Other resources:Chris Bolinger's other devotional: Daily Strength for MenMike Hatch's book: Manhood: Empowered by the Light of the GospelRelational men's discipleship programs: CLC

Faced with a choice between something that is urgent and something that is important, you're likely to do the urgent one. When you make that same choice over and over, you find that you rarely, if ever, have time for what's truly important.The problem isn't a lack of time or even a lack of effort. The problem is priorities. By setting the right priorities, you'll pursue what's truly important. But how do you know what that is?This week's Bible passage: Philippians 3:12-16Podcast resource: 52 Weeks of Strength for Men (ebook, paperback, study guide)Other resources:Chris Bolinger's other devotional: Daily Strength for MenMike Hatch's book: Manhood: Empowered by the Light of the GospelRelational men's discipleship programs: CLC
