Pray
Acts 1: 14a “All these with one accord were devoting themselves to prayer…”
Prayer according to Webster is the act of addressing a divinity or earnest request. We as believers in the Way know that prayer is talking with God. Prayer is the conversation that heals, assures and leads us in our lives, and yet we tend to overlook this vital part of our spiritual lives.
We belong to a God who wants to be part of our lives. God didn’t create us and then say “Go away, you bother me”. God is truly interested in us and desires relationship, and the key to any relationship is COMMUNICATION.
Jesus taught us to pray, and practiced it every day. We too are called to lift up prayers to God. In my own life, if there is no prayer, life gets skewed. Prayer is what keeps the way straight and the eye focused on the Kingdom of God.
As members and friends of Doniphan UMC, I urge everyone to lift up prayers, for the church, for the community of faith, for one another. But don’t just talk, listen and hear what God has to say. Make time everyday to be alone with God, if necessary write it in your schedule. Prayer is truly the engine of faith. Prayer can bring peace, and change to your lives, it can bring strength and triumph, and it will bring you closer to God.
If you don’t believe me, believe the Bible, and if you haven’t started, get on your knees and just talk with God. You see, God answers knee mail.
Amen
