| "Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness." Psalm 143:1 This is an urgent appeal for help. David had no inhabitions, and he opened his heart to God. The foundation of a prayerful life is knowing God. God has made many promises in His Word, and when you know the Promiser, you can trust His promises. When your focus is knowing God, you will come to trust His promises and the power of prayer will become your reality. Soak yourself in His Word! Absorb its truth and wisdom into your heart. Live in uncompromising obedience to Him. Set aside a time each day to focus on Him without distractions. As you discipline yourself, keeping your life open to God, you will come to know Him intimately, and you will come to trust in Him. Peace will become a natural state of your soul. You will find that you have moved from "saying prayers" to "living prayers." God Bless You ~ Have a joyful day in the Lord! <J><E><S><U><S>< <S><A><V><E><S>< |
