Your best prayer is the time during the day you consciously remember God’s presence. Talk with Jesus more throughout your specific activities. Discuss things with him as with your best friend who truly listens, at the right moment, without answering back. This action makes walking in the Spirit a practical, everyday experience.
Prayer: Lord, wake me each day in
prayer to heavenly Father. Jesus, help me remember to pray every breath I take.
And Jesus said: Even
as Savior, you are My friend, My joint heir, but also My disciple. Just as the
first disciples of old went about sharing with no thought of their immediate
needs, you can go with the truth of abundance. With a cheerful heart, make
everything you do a gift in God’s name. And I, the Holy Spirit, will take care
of all your needs. The sharing creates one road to Joy.
Prayer: Lord, thank you for your abundance, and help us remember to
share.
Let go of the past. Jesus has forgiven, blotted out your past. All is healed. Why pick it up again? When you travel on a journey, you do not go back to each place and dwell upon where each place takes you to get to the next place. The present moves to the future so each day heavenly Father helps you live anew. Whether triumph or failure, let the past go. Anticipate with faith the present. Dwell upon the prayer of the Now and move forward. Who will you meet today that needs help?...maybe just you or some person you see every day. What shall you and the Holy Spirit do together today to honor the heavenly Father? “…Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven…”
Prayer: Lord, keep us aware to find
ways to live correctly in the now-future.
The right word,
clearly spoken on God’s behalf, promotes a good thing. But today…. listen
someone into forgiveness, allow time for clarification; you might listen
someone into health. Listen to their pain, their anguish, their frustration,
all their underneath meanings without you trying to give any answer or
correction. Hear their story. Let them
know you really do hear. Do this in the name of your Lord. Remember, words are
the avenue to define relationship.
Prayer: Lord, in our better moments, we admit our tongue is too busy. Help us remain compassionate hearers of others.
Suppose while in
heaven, you had the chance to tell each angel a story of your good experiences
and each would hear it as new and each angel could feel the experience, would
you be able to share events that showed your best potential in Christ? Would
those episodes prove worthy in eternity? What if you could see all the
connections?
A significant goal in this life is when you can fully accept what you are potentially in Christ; this then
begins the framework what you may actually become in heaven reality.
Prayer: Lord, help me to think less of past experiences and move forward
by setting my mind upon what I can become for Christ.
Any work to which
the Heavenly Father commits Himself will be empowered by His glory. Glory means He remains in a
magnificent only first. He allows us to share through his Son, but He
remains in control. Any work needs to answer the question: Is some work
effort following glory to heavenly Father or just to individuals only? There often exists a divine principle: The
greater a work’s true value to Jehovah, the less eternal human recognition
there will be. Any work becoming effective in the divine purpose must be
conceived by the Holy Spirit who stabilizes the existence of Jesus, the Son…
See the everlasting word in Eph.1: 11-12.
Prayer: Lord, help us remember to live your glory which only honors your Son through any of our personal
works.
When
you happen to feel a contentment in your will for what the Holy Spirit is doing,
then that peculiar ease becomes a substance guiding completeness. You may then vibrate in love, God’s
Grace, as your exercised faith as you grow endurance. You can continue
unlimited contentment, every day spent, as a God-given strategy for living.
James 1:2-4 shows insightful consideration.
Prayer: Lord, help me recognize and do my part to remove any defects
that hinder my covenant with you, so I can journey closely on your path of
Grace.
Because of your
earthly, linear time that continues straight ahead, whether backward or
forward, many prayerful desires or requests seem to linger by delays without
answer. If your concerns diminish by delay or lose specific momentum, they may
have entered a different time frame like that of heavenly Father or not have
been according to the will of God in the first place. Heavenly values are not
disregarded by your misdirection.
Prayer: Lord, thank you for
reminding us, our time is not the only time. Your heavenly existence embraces our
time. Although we do not always understand, help us grow our patience.
As a Jesus believer,
sometimes you hunger for an alone time, a time to float, collect yourself,
silence trials of internal thinking, stop internal noise of your everyday
strivings. At other times, you wish for like-minded souls with whom you can
relate and identify, those who create feelings of togetherness, caring and
community. When you have too much solitude, you yearn for community. When too
much community exists, you thirst for some time alone. For your soul’s best
stability, try to create a contentment by focusing on a deliberate balance. You
choose the adjustments and action for helpful balance, but Holy Spirit never
leaves you alone.
Prayer: Lord, through every day given, help me
harmonize solitude and community.
Can you see why prayer pleases God? It is because He is teaching you what to pray for; not some mode of praying but talking on a regular basis aligns your conscious concerns. You will discover praying for the things God will be doing anyway but learn to pray with your questions. Prayer re-creates divine awareness and consciousness in your spirit as you struggle in the physical world. You are never alone without God’s embrace.
Prayer: Lord, thank you, for giving
us a direct connection to your Spirit.
Each new day demonstrates a spirit awakening. Struggle to turn around your strategy and adventure. Instead of getting up each day focusing on what will happen physically, think about the possibilities of your spirit. Each principle of heaven mixes with earth. They connect. If you seek first the kingdom of heaven that surrounds the believing, covenant people of Christ, each need will be added to you. The Lord gives and wants you to enjoy the physical as you apply spirit lessons of growth. Advancing your career, making money, any physical necessity can flourish within a gift economy of fun, peace, and delight for others as you cultivate Christ friendship. When life is too hard, you have put too much value and search on buying life instead of trusting heavenly Father to provide. When waking in morning, think: “Lord who are we to be today?”
Prayer: Lord, help us see the fun
and adventure in spiritual growth.
When you plant even
a small seed every day for Lord Jesus, he will take care of the fruit. Share
a kind word, a gift of money, a touch in his name, a directed prayer not
usually asked, sharing a compassionate presence. Do this in Jesus name because
He already hears and you have lived the greatest parable in Mark 4:8. Send out
a good seed every day. Push it out there and let the Spirit grow it. There are
never too many seeds. Some make it and others don’t. But Holy Fruit knows how to honor the
heavenly Father.
Prayer: Lord, help me pay attention
today to sow a seed for you.
The world may hurry you to keep its pace. This may cause you to spend time with the wrong things. Pause and take time with the Holy Spirit. He will lead one step at a time. When you rest and contemplate in your soul, God’s Spirit can guide your thoughts and actions. Do not panic---that is the flesh and the world pressing in on you. When the world says “hurry,” pause and rest in Christ. The Lord, does not want you to stumble. You fall because you are not closely paying attention to what scripture teaches….Rest, pray, think with Jesus as your friend. Embrace the scripture word, then, talk with the Holy Spirit and listen with your spirit.
Prayer: Lord, I am so grateful I
can talk with you daily and I know you listen because you never get in any
false hurry.
Heavenly Father’s Spirit, His Beingness moves from everwhen to everywhere to everlasting. Try to filter everything through the Spirit. With much ugliness in the world, he has given us Beauty through the Spirit to offset some evil. When pleasing music abounds, He is here. When the right art captures the eye, He is here. When written words speak truth, he is here. When a bright moon or a comet touches the awe and wonder in us, He is here. Beauty represents his purity of innocence, found in His Son, his intended love and forgiveness happening through creation. Slow down to absorb beauty for soul peace.
Prayer: Lord, thank you for the
beauty of innocence, like that of a child or the fragrance of a flower.
When Jesus spoke of spreading the kingdom of heavenly Father in Mt. 5, some
suggestions follow:
Poor in spirit—the kingdom of Need. . .connects and describes a condition of
surrender to fight lostness and loneliness.
Mourn—the kingdom of Sorrow.
. . fights selfishness because feeling for another’s pain and hurt for confused
world.
Meek—the kingdom of
Yielding. . .overcomes stubborn pride by submitting self-will instead of power
makes right.
Hunger and thirst—the kingdom of Appetite. . .search to define balance of right and wrong ways to live this world.
Mercy—the kingdom of
Kindness. . . rids harshness and misplaced pride. Tool for creating ability to
absorb hurts of people and learn forgiveness.
Pure in heart—the kingdom of Cleanness. . .defeats making excuses, develops clear
honesty when any lying, jealousy, or envy slips in.
Peacemakers—the kingdom of Harmony. . .disarms roots of anger that lead to hate being a way to correct.
Persecuted—the kingdom of Loyalty.
. .endures being betrayed, helps to learn love even for the unlovable.
Accused falsely—the kingdom of
Perseverance, withstands being judged and misunderstood while Heavenly Father
recreates the universe.
You may not succeed in
one kingdom until you have grown sufficiently through the kingdom that goes
before or after. They are linked, but from time to time, you may move in and
out of one or all of them in order yet sometimes out–of-order. They connect and
reconnect!
Prayer: Lord, thank you for the
blueprint of your greater kingdom through the smaller kingdoms. Help us follow
each day.
Try not to spend much time thinking
back upon your failures, dwelling on your excuses, or even any immaturity from
them. Lean on the Holy Spirit and you will have the power to put all things in
the proper place. Your age may not matter. Your attitude and character does. Heavenly
Father has placed many things in subjection to humanity, but He has not given
up total control. Search with the Holy Spirit for your special insight. He
still guides any journey when allowed.
Prayer: Lord, keep reminding me
today that you direct our path.
When you enter the
path of joy or pain, comfort or discomfort, knowledge or questions, the journey
may not always be for your direct edification. The Lord continually seeks those
who need salvation. You may enter a struggle with Christ for the sake of
someone else. God’s compassion leads to your passion. Even if you are tempted
to question or fear . . . remember, God looks to save throughout the universe,
and you may be traveling with Him. He will lead. You are to pay attention and
follow.
Prayer: Lord, help me remember the
Holy Spirit works always through pain or prosperity.
