Developing Spiritual Discipline through Obedience and Prayer (11.19.17)

Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always - 1 Chronicles 16:11

Faith Believers,
The primary reason for prayer is getting to know GOD
     and there is no way to come close to Him,
     except by prayer.

It is in prayer that we express to the Lord our love for Him, our faith in Him, our worship of Him, and our surrender to Him. If for no other reason, the desire for intimacy with Christ should cause us to get on our knees and pray daily.

Another reason for praying is simple obedience.

GOD says to pray…so we pray. This is especially important during those times in our lives when we don’t feel like praying.

These spiritual “dry times” can happen to us all. Often, the only thing that will lead us out of such dryness is sticking with the routine of daily prayer and spending time in GOD’s Word.

Developing a spiritual discipline out of obedience
     to the Lord is a remedy against spiritual dryness.


~ Prayer ~
Lord,
So often we all experience a prayer life that has become repetitive and sometimes we may feel as though we are disconnected from you.

Sometimes we don’t pay attention to the fact that
     the King of the Universe is listening.

Help me to long to know You better by fully surrendering to You in prayer. 

Give me a deep longing to obey Your commands, by seeking Your Face and by placing my heart in Your Hands, for Your Will to take place in my life.

Amen
