Do you say grace before you eat, or take time to pray before you go to sleep each night? It is very good to ask God to bless our food, and then to thank Him for providing it for us. It is also a good thing before you go to sleep to pray and ask God for his protection over your family, for health and safety for those you love. Hi this is Dorette Schaal with your dailyeword. Prayer is our topic and the best reminder I have for you is to pray! Become someone who prays without ceasing!
Read your Bible, pray everyday, pray everyday, pray everyday, read your Bible, pray everyday if you want to grow. That is a really old kids song from when I was in Sunday School. As old as the song is, it is still a relevant message. If you want to grow up in God, we have to read the Bible, and we have to pray everyday. In simple terms that means taking part of your day to read the letter that God wrote to you. If something comes in the mail for me, I can’t wait to read it. We should be as passionate about reading God’s Word. Prayer really isn’t any different than talking to someone on the phone. You say hello, chat for a while, and then listen for a response. God not only wants you to talk to Him, He loves it when we’ll just be still and listen. Many of us will never hear Him speak out loud, but He can give us direction in our heart. The Bible says that our spirit/heart is His candle. He wants to give us light so we can see clearly. Psalms 119 also tells us that His Word is a lamp unto our feet, and a light unto our path. We all need light. It is a fallen world we live in, where evil wants to prevail and we get to SHINE THE LIGHT and let the whole world see! Thankfully, we know the end of the book. The enemy is eternally banished and we will eternally experience heaven! So don’t forget how important it is to pray, and to read the Word of God, EVERYDAY!
