Following the broad sweep of history and answering the questions: What is true? What is important? What, now, shall we do?
Staying On Mission
Lord, hear my prayer. Let me experience your faithful love in the morning, for I trust in you. Reveal to me the way I should go because I appeal to you. Rescue me from my enemies, Lord; I come to you for protection. Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. May...
He Hears You
This is the confidence that we have in coming into God’s presence, that if we ask anything that is in line with his will, he hears us. We can speak to God freely about anything on our hearts. And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we receive...
When Should You Pray?
"Pray all the time. Ask God for anything in line with the Holy Spirit’s wishes. Plead with him, reminding him of your needs, and keep praying earnestly for all Christians everywhere." Ephesians 6:18 TLB Or, if you prefer, "Keep praying in the Spirit on every occasion,...
Visualize This
Lift up your eyes on high, and see who has created these things, who brings out their host by number; He calls them all by name, by the greatness of His might and the strength of His power; not one is missing. Isaiah 40:26 NKJV In Isaiah’s time the people of God had...
Listen To Me
“A man prayed, and at first he thought that prayer was talking. But he became more and more quiet until in the end he realized that prayer was listening.” Soren Kierkegaard (1813 – 1855) When you talk you repeat what you already know, but if you listen you often learn...
Not My Will
The purpose of prayer is not to bend God to our will, but, as we pray, to align ourselves to His will. Christians commonly end their prayers "In Jesus’ name, amen." Prayers could begin the same way. “Father, I come into Your presence in Jesus’ name," that is, I am not...
Shabbat Shalom
Pray this prayer today: Jesus, what is one thing you want me to do for you today? #prayer
Praying For Others
There are many ways to express love to others. Perhaps the most sacrificial is to pray for God to bless, protect, and provide for them. In no other way can the Believer become as fully involved with God’s work, especially the work of world evangelism, as in...
Boundless Prayer
Nothing lies beyond the reach of prayer. Except that which lies outside the will of God. Adapted, Streams In The Desert, Mrs Charles E Cowan
A Letter From God
The Bible is a letter God has sent to us. Prayer is a letter we send to Him.* Perhaps Billy Graham expressed it best when he said "The Bible is God's love letter to us, telling us not only that He loves us, but showing us what He has done to demonstrate His love. It...
Principles Of Prayer
Prayer is simply communicating with God. That’s it. Scripture makes it clear that there’s no right way to pray. When you talk, God listens. It’s not the words that matter to God as much as what's in our heart. Three principles of prayer:* 1. Keep it honest. 2. Keep it...
A Selfish Admission
Ok, we admit it. The editors of this blog are selfish. We write the blog for ourselves. If others get something from it then let it accrue to advancing the Kingdom. But we write it selfishly, as part of our own personal spiritual formation. So if you notice that we...
What Jesus Said
One day Jesus told his disciples a parable to illustrate their need for constant prayer and to show them that they must keep praying until the answer comes. Luke 18:1 TLB #prayer #prayersup
The Second Greatest Gift From God
And in the morning very early before day, Jesus arose and went out into a solitary place, and there prayed. Mark 1:35 1599 Geneva Bible Prayer is the second greatest gift from God, the first being His Plan of Salvation. Prayer is worship. It may, in fact, be the...
Work As Worship
Work as unto the Lord;…. so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belongs the glory and dominion forever and ever. Colossians 3:23, 1 Peter 4:11 All of life, including work, is an act of worship to God. Jesus was first a carpenter. Let...
Acts Of Worship
‘The king will answer them, “I assure you, whatever you did for one of the least important of these my brothers or sisters, you in effect did for me. When you helped my followers, you were helping me.” Matthew 25:40 Word Come Alive Paraphrase If we serve Jesus, then...
St Patrick’s Day
March 17th is the day that the patron saint of Ireland, Saint Patrick, is honored. A native of Britain, he was captured in the late fourth century A.D. by Irish pirates at age sixteen and enslaved for six years in Ireland. During that time he committed himself to...
A Posture Of The Heart
Being close to God does not mean being in a place of formal worship. It just means you need to have an attitude of worship wherever you are. Kindle a fire of worship in your heart and let the Holy Spirit fan it to flames. God cannot be brought down to us; we can only...
