The men(women) who have done the most for God in this world have been early on their knees. He who fritters away the early morning, its opportunity and freshness, in other pursuits than seeking God will make poor headway seeking him the rest of the day. If God is not first in our thoughts and efforts in the morning, he will be in the last place the remainder of the day. E.M.Bounds
You’re wondering why your daily life seems so chaotic, so stressful and unfulfilling? You’re always tired; accomplishing so little Your head hits the pillow at night and you think about how unproductive and ineffective your day was and you promise yourself you’ll do better tomorrow…. Do you? How?
It’s time to PRAY…
“To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing.” Martin Luther King, Jr.
We talk a lot about prayer; how prayer changes us, how God does the impossible through it, how important it is to a believer’s life.BUT do we wholeheartedly engage in it? Daily? Consistently? Diligently? Passionately?
It’s time to come away from all the distractions and come to find Him and come to find Who He is and who you are in Him. It’s time to reprioritize your days and take off of your ‘to do’ lists some of the things that are time wasters and which are consuming and draining you; things which the Lord has not called you to. It’s time to hear from the heart of God what HE wants for you and it’s time to write in HIS plans for your daily life.
Do you do all the ‘talking’ during your time of prayer and not pause to listen for His voice? Would you even recognize His voice if you heard it? Would you be convinced it was really Him? And how does He speak to you?
His WORD is His voice – anything else outside His WORD is not His! Don’t be deceived. If what you’re hearing doesn’t match up with what HE says to you in His WORD, don’t receive it!
Spending time in consistent, diligent prayer – daily engaging yourself and allowing God to speak into your soul should be the heartbeat of your life!
Who are you listening to? What is clouding your spiritual sight or hearing?
So many people are running around confused, second guessing their lives, living in fear of the unknown, worrying, stressing out…all because they’re trying to ‘figure out’ what’s the best way to do life! But God is the Author of Life – He is the Creator of your life and He wants the best for you and has the best for you, if you will only STOP and pray! Stop and seek Him and listen to His loving, peaceful voice…He will direct your path and meet your needs right where you’re at, but you’re going to have to purpose to seek Him and pour out your heart to Him and wait on Him – wait on Him…listen closely for Him to speak as you are still, without distractions, searching His Word and waiting on Him…
He’s waiting…for you…to stop…come to Him…and listen…He’s speaking and has so much to share with you – if you’ll only begin to PRAY with your whole heart and listen to His Word …
“Then you will call upon Me, and you will come and pray to Me, and I will hear and heed you. Then you will seek Me, inquire for, and require Me [as a vital necessity] and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.
I will be found by you, says the Lord, and I will release you from captivity and gather you from all the nations and all the places to which I have driven you, says the Lord, and I will bring you back to the place from which I caused you to be carried away captive.”
Jeremiah 29:12-14
“Call to Me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things which you do not know” Jeremiah 33:3
