God has His Ways. So when we approach Him, we absolutely must acknowledge Him in His Ways. Sin in my heart? Then “He will not hear me”.
Who But You Oh Lord
Who can I look to for this day? Who but You oh Lord. I trust in Jesus. He is my Friend.
What makes your prayers effective
What a huge privilege God gives – to pray. So, how do I make the most of it?
Choose loving habits – one by one by one
Every breathing moment is a new moment to choose to be loving to others – or not. I do not have to be what I was in the past. I don’t have to be what I was this morning! I can choose to confess and repent — and be loving now. I’m developing habits of love!
To reach God, first repent
Prayer is about coming to God on His terms. How’s that working-out for you?
Prayer with God? I just don’t get it
How can it be that God allows me into His very presence? I just can’t comprehend it. What a privilege.
Keep Praying
The Bible says: Keep on praying. Keep on believing. Are you praying?
Doing one act of love at a time
Every breathing moment is a new moment to choose to be loving to others – or not. I do not have to be what I was in the past. I don’t have to be what I was this morning! I can choose to confess and repent — and be loving now. I’m developing habits of love!
About Prayer
We pray because God cares, and He hears what we say. The beginning of prayer is the purifying of our spirit. All that self-talk we all engage our minds in throughout the day? “Talk it” to God. If I take my eyes off Jesus… I become unbalanced in my soul. I take refuge in God… There is no better way to deal with life. The number to call for repair in all areas is: P-R-A-Y-E-R
Make Self Talk… God Talk. It goes on and on and on
Speaking to God silently inside your mind: God-Talk… is praying to God without voicing it out loud. “Self Talk” and “God Talk”- He sees into your thoughts, your feelings, your intentions, your falseness or genuineness, your honesty or lies, what you really are inside of your mind and heart.”
Have you “come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God”?
When you, in prayer, accept Jesus as your personal Savior — you have come to an awesome, almighty place of wonder and love.
My faith
My faith is in Jehovah God, Yahweh, the great “I AM,” the God of forgiveness and strength. Who is your God? Does He save sinners from His Wrath — forever?
Pray for salvation
Excerpt from the article: God Speaking Repent now. There is no magic formula or speech. Just speak your heart to Me, sincerely and truthfully. I can hear your voice. I can hear your thoughts. Direct your heart to Me — something like this: Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner. I believe you […]
God is available to all
God actually hears us. He answers us when we pray. He cared enough to come to earth. He cared enough to die on Calvary’s cross for us, so why would we doubt that He cares enough to answer our expressed need? Do not fear – God will hear.
Self-talk prayer
All that self-talk we all engage our minds in throughout the day? We can direct it to conversations with God. That is just so totally awesome!
Pray like Jesus prayed
Jesus teaches us how to pray. He gave us a blueprint for how to build our prayers. Jesus showed us in one prayer — what an effective prayer will often have in it.
Why pray
Why pray? We pray because God cares (John 3:16), and He hears what we say and think. And we need Him.
A prayer of praise to God
I cast my cares on You my Lord, Father God. I look to You in faith believing You will carry the day today. Power me through it. Love others through me. I know You go before me. You prepare the way before I get there. You know my ways before I think them up and […]
Before a good cup a Joe
I don’t do frenetic. I don’t do worry. I don’t let it in. I don’t start my day all out of kilter, out of whack. I refuse to stumble into my day. I start most every day something like this: I get on up and get on High. I’m lifted up. I start my day with God in prayer – just me and God in the cavern of my head. Creator God is everywhere. Nowhere that He’s not. And He’s in my head. He knows my thoughts. My thoughts, an open gateway to my soul, for God. I think my thoughts to Him “in prayer”. No one hears me, but God Himself. He even knows what I’m about to say. Oh mysterious, sacred Spirit that lives inside my eternal soul!
The well-guarded soul
The well-guarded soul will keep you following Jesus. What can you do to guard your soul?
Talking to Jesus
Is it proper to pray to Jesus directly, instead of directing our prayer to Father God, as Jesus Himself prayed? What does the Bible itself say about that?
Lord, Father, I bow my heart before you
A prayer for today. First, repent. Sin affects answers to prayer, but God rewards those who seek Him with all their heart.
How Prayer Works
Prayer is a mysterious thing, is it not? Praying: I come to God through my spirit, with my soul speaking from my mind and heart. Prayer “works” because God is gracious and forgiving. And He Himself asks us to come into His presence. The Bible says God hears and responds – to even the most vile of sinners.
Keeping Sin
The little verse of Psalm 66:18 teaches us a whole lot about God – and prayer. Just in this tiny verse we see: “If I regard wickedness in my heart, The Lord will not hear.” I am born again, and God has forgiven me of all my sins. However, on any given day or moment, if I come to Him in prayer AND am holding a sin, so to speak, or allowing a sin to have a place in my life — then, the Bible tells me: God will not give heed to what I say.
More Than Conquerors – In Christ
What kind of faith are you experiencing as a follower of Jesus Christ? What is your daily experience? How can you become “more than conquerors?
Mold me as an instrument of use
Want to be put to good use – by God? Pray like this…
Do you pray like this, not heeding Scripture?
Biblical prayer is not a decree; and we do not “curse” disease. Please don’t tell me it is based on Jesus cursing the tree! Prayers like “I decree”, “I command…”, “I curse the cancer…”, “I… command it to flee right now”, “I declare this to… dry bones”? What what WHAT! What “promise” of the Word says THAT?
Pray Biblically
What does the Bible teach us about prayer? We are taught to pray humbly to God the Father for whatever our need may be, in faith believing that He loves us like a father loves his child, and He will answer according to His will, according to what is best for us. How did Jesus […]
God Is Not Distant
God is not some far away, distant-from-you, dis-concerned bubble of energy, inside some aura of mist on a mysterious planet far far away in a different galaxy. Star Trek might lead one to believe that! But the Bible says that Creator God created us to walk and talk with us, to commune with us, like He did with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:8).
Jesus Knows Your Thoughts
God is able to see into the innermost parts of your heart. He knows what you feel. He knows what you want. He knows your thoughts. Even before you speak a word — He knows what you are going to say! God hears me as I speak to him silently in my mind – in prayer.
