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, and/or when any true follower of Jesus prays — you have come to an awesome, almighty place of wonder and love. Oh how marvelous! Through prayer to Jesus: — “you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly […]
My faith
“I assure you and most solemnly say to you, whoever does not receive and welcome the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it at all.” – Mark 10:15 Excerpt from: More Than Conquerors – In Christ My faith is in Jehovah God, Yahweh, the great “I AM,” the God of forgiveness and […]
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
An excerpt from: Jesus Knows Your Thoughts Self-talk can be God-talk. 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! Speaking to God silently inside your mind: God-Talk… praying to God without voicing it It’s healthier than just […]
Pray like Jesus prayed
The prayer of Jesus is famous all over the world. He teaches us how to pray. Jesus taught his disciples to pray, saying: 9 “Pray, then, in this way: ‘Our Father who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. 10 ‘Your kingdom come. Your will be done, On earth as it is in heaven. 11 ‘Give us this […]
Why pray
“…I have come in response to your words.” – Angel Gabriel; Daniel 10:12 To us puny humans, everything God is in Himself, and everything God does in action — is extreme. His power is extreme. His divine nature is extreme. His knowledge is extreme. His mercy is extreme. His compassion is extreme. All that He […]
A prayer of praise to God

Before a good cup a Joe
Me – getting up another day, praying… 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. In the morning when my mind wakes up, before I get up, that’s the time I […]
The well-guarded soul
Since I am born again into a new life in Christ, I’m not only human, after all. Never again. Through Christ I am now a new creation of God, and He, by the Holy Spirit, has a special place inside my soul. Like no other “god” could have done, He made my spirit alive so […]
Talking to Jesus
Sometimes I hear people question if it’s proper to pray to Jesus directly, instead of directing our prayer to Father God, as Jesus Himself prayed (Matthew 26:36-46). This passage in Hebrews makes it clear enough to me – that it is totally fine and Scriptural to pray to Jesus directly: Hebrews 13:12-15 12 Therefore Jesus also, […]
Lord, Father, I bow my heart before you
…a prayer for today Oh Lord, Father, I just come to you now in prayer. In my inner soul I kneel before you. Oh my God, thank You for the privilege to come into Your very presence this very moment. Thank you for your goodness, and your kindness. Thank you that you love me – […]
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. The Bible says God hears and responds to the prayers of His people. Prayer “works” because God is gracious and forgiving and asks us to come into His presence. If […]
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.

Do you pray like this, not heeding Scripture?
This announcement just came out – with the news that Qureshi has died: Qureshi, a Muslim convert to Christianity who previously served with Ravi Zacharias International Ministries, passed away at 34 after a year-long battle with stomach cancer. He received the cancer diagnosis on August 24, 2016 – eleven years from the very day he […]
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! Matthew 9:4 And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, “Why are you thinking evil in […]
Conversations With God

You can have intimate conversations with God in the privacy of your inner self. That is just so totally awesome! pray without ceasing… –1 Thessalonians […]
Prayer of Repentance
Prayer of Repentance To Christ Salvation is not about doing or acting or looking like anything. It is about personally accepting Christ as your Savior, saying to God in prayer something like, “Jesus, I acknowledge to You that I am a sinner in need of your forgiveness. I repent of my past and ask that […]
