A Habit of Prayer

2 Mins Read

“When I think of the wisdom and scope of God’s plan, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth” (Ephesians 3:14-15 in the Holy Bible, New Living Translation)

The Apostle Paul, the writer of the Book of Ephesians, wrote these words while imprisoned and perhaps even chained to a Roman guard. Despite the circumstances; the prison walls; the discomfort of iron chains and the onlooking jailer; Paul was kneeling in prayer focused on God’s overall purpose. The present trial was put in perspective in light of God’s overarching plan.

Prayer: Lord, some of the most important prayers that I will ever pray are in the middle of crisis and difficult circumstances. In the midst of trying times, it is my habit of prayer that will convey the message of my faith louder than mere words ever could. Amen.

Rechargeable Faith

1 Min Read

By example, Jesus showed us that when His energy waned, He took time to recharge. The Bible says in Mark 1:35, “And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed” (King James Version of the Holy Bible). We lead such busy lives making it that much more important that we realize we are not immune to the pressures of life. We too must recharge our spiritual batteries in His presence. Determine today to get away from the noise of all that is calling for your attention to allow God to restore your soul.

Prayer: Lord, I too need a quiet time with You away from the distractions of the day and the thousands of thoughts that bombard my mind. Thank You, for renewing, restoring and refreshing my spirit as I sit here in Your presence. I lean on You, Lord! Amen.
