Have You Prayed Today?
Have you prayed today? Don’t see it as an obligation or a guilt inducer but as a chance to communicate with the one who loves you more than anyone else. . .
Prayer
Wait Expectantly
Obviously, we don’t know how God will answer a prayer, because His ways are far above our ways. So watch expectantly to see how He will act in ways beyond your imaginings. . .
Good Morning
Mornings can excite or depress us. Do you say “Good morning, Lord!” or “Good Lord, it’s morning!”? No matter what our day holds, we can face it confidently by practicing Psalm 143:8. . .
Release Control
The demands of this world can overwhelm us, causing feelings of panic, powerlessness, and even paranoia. The solution? We must release control back to God. . .
Just Talk With Him
Sometimes we take the straightforward and uncomplicated idea of prayer—the simple give-and-take of talking with God—and turn it into something hard. Just pour out your heart to Him. . .
Stand in the Gap
It’s easy in the busyness of life to overlook a prayer request someone else has made. Don’t delay. Take time right when you receive a request to talk to the Lord on their behalf. . .
He Calls Us Near
When we are called near to someone, we are able to hear his or her whisper. It is this very picture scripture paints when it speaks of the Holy Spirit. . .
God Isn’t Easily Offended
Fortunately for us, God isn’t easily offended. He is deeply committed to our relationship with Him, and He doesn’t want us to hide anything—good, bad, or ugly. . .
Delight Yourself in the Lord
“Delight yourself in the Lord; and He will give you the desires of your heart.” Some believe this verse means God will give you whatever you ask for. But it teaches something much deeper. . .
How to Pray
Some of us struggle in our prayer lives, even though we are Christians. But our prayers don’t have to be long or eloquent. . .
