We have just started a very important sermon series entitled “Prayers of the Bible”.
This is a strategic and timely series that challenges us to focus on
our walk with God through prayer for the next few weeks. Let’s not
miss this opportunity to take a step forward in our prayer life. God
is inviting us to intimacy with him through a simple conversation
with him called prayer. For some of you, you need to start praying
regularly for the very first time. Others of you, need to draw
closer to God by praying more consistently.
The Bible invites us to
pray without ceasing (I Thessalonians 5:17), to walk with closely
with Him in all of life. I would offer one simple practice that has
changed my life. Start each day with a prayer. When you wake up,
offer the day to God. Ask him to fill you and use you for his
kingdom’s sake. Quickly give each task, appointment and
relationship to him. Then keep your eyes open for what God is doing
in you and through you that day. Remember, we will accomplish
nothing of eternal significance unless God powerfully works through
us (Psalm 127:1). Let’s pray, draw near to our good and loving
God, and look for Him to do great things through us in the days
ahead.
