The Importance of Prayer
Prayer is the only entryway into genuine self-knowledge…Prayer is simply the key to everything we need to do and be in life.
Living A Life Of Service
In this age of a mostly self-centered take on life, Jesus modeled a radically different way to live. For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.” – Matthew 20:28 NLT
Prayer, Worry, and Thankfulness
Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. – Philippians 4:6 NLT Prayer is not always easy for me, especially when I’m compelled to do it all on my own. We live in a world that perpetuates that thinking. Good wants us not only to bring Him our needs but wants us to come to Him with be thanks when things are going well. It’s easy to forget to go to God in the good times but that’s like never hanging out with your friends but just going to them when you need something. Most of us don’t like to be in that kind of relationship very long. How do we think God feels…
Priority Number 1
Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. – Matthew 6:33 NLT Our world tries to offer us a lot of things that distract us from what we should be pursuing. It goes without saying that when we are pursuing God our “needs” change. Many of what we think we need are merely wants, and God sometimes blesses us with those things as well.
How To Be Wise
So much great wisdom found in the Proverbs! Fools think their own way is right, but the wise listen to others. – Proverbs 12:15 NLT
Thankful For A God Of Hope And Strength
My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak, but God remains the strength of my heart; he is mine forever. – Psalms 73:26 NLT I’m thankful for a God that despite my circumstances is always there to lean on.
