Prayer Time

"I saw the Lord seated on a throne, high and exalted, and the train of his robe filled the temple" (Isa. 6:1).

As you start your prayer time, before you say anything, let your mind's eye see Him, high and exalted, and yourself in a position of worship before Him. Stay in that inner posture until His glory fills your thoughts as the train of His robe fills the temple.

Relationship With Jesus

Prayer is not a product; it is a relationship. Even if you did not

experience the wonderful event you imagined, God knows your intention. You

wanted to spend time with Jesus, and in some way, although exactly how is a

mystery to you, you did. So express your frustration to God; ask for help

and for the strength to try again. God does not require that we be

successful, just faithful.

-- Daniel Wolpert

CREATING A LIFE WITH GOD

Prayer Time

"But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed" (Luke 5:16). Find a place in your home where you can be alone and undistracted during your prayer time. Keep your Bible, prayer journal, pen, and whatever tools you use in that place so that everything is ready. During your prayer time each day, this is a sacred place.

Wishing You Blessings

"For those who love the Lord, every day is a day of Thanksgiving."

Wishing you all a blessed Happy Thanksgiving.

Encourage One Another

"Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing".

(1 Thess. 5:11 ).

 

This week, prepare for your daily prayer timeby gathering note cards or stationary of some sort. Ask the Lord to place on your heart someone who needs encouragement. During your prayer time, write out your prayer for that person and mail it to him or her. Pray for and encourage someone different each morning.

Quieter Life With God

"The moment you wake up each morning, all your wishes and hopes for the day rush at you like wild animals. And the first job each morning consists in shoving it all back; in listening to that other voice, taking that other point of view, letting that other, larger, stronger, quieter life come flowing in." -C.S. Lewis

Being Content

"I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation" (Philippians 4:12)

In which areas of your life do you lack contentment? Write them down as they come to mind. Are you looking to some external circumstance or some other person for contentment? This week, focus your prayer time on asking the Lord to create in you a heart that rests contentedly in Him and His plans for you.

A Savior

If our greatest need had been information, God would have sent
an educator. If our greatest need had been technology, God
would have sent us a scientist. If our greatest need had been
money, God would have sent us an economist. But since our
greatest need was forgiveness, God sent us a Savior.

-- Max Lucado

Ask & Listen

"And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one" Matthew 6:13

This week, focus on Matthew 6:13. Daily, ask the Lord to lead you in paths that will help you avoid temptation. Listen to Him as He brings thoughts to your mind about how to avoid placing yourself in temptation's path. Obey.

Fuel

“He (God) Himself is the fuel our spirits were designed to burn, or the food our spirits were designed to feed on. There is no other.” - C.S. Lewis

Praying With Confidence!

The emphasis here is on God's will, not our will. When we communicate with God, we do not demand what we want, rather we discuss with him what he wants for us. If we align our prayers to his will, he will listen, and we can be certain that if he listens, he will give us a definite answer. Start praying with confidence!

This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us - whatever we ask - we know that we have what we asked of him. 1 John 5:14-15

Brokenness

Brokenness is the ground from which spiritual power grows. Welcome brokenness. Embrace it. Don't fear or resist it. Like the kernel of wheat that falls into the ground to die, the outer layers of your flesh--self-centeredness, pride, self-trust--must be broken so that the life within can emerge. (He Restores My Soul)

"I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds" (John 12:24)

Grace Of God

fConcentrate on this Sentence

To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did. When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better. So concentrate on this sentence...

The will of God will never take you where the grace of God will not protect you.
