A Way of Life

July 11 A Way of Life

Good morning from Ricky Watson, Deacon, Baptist Tabernacle Church, Wendell, North Carolina. 

The Bible calls us to a lifestyle of constant prayer.  We are commanded to “pray without ceasing” (1 Thessalonians 5:17).  And because we have the Holy Spirit living in us and He knows what we should pray for (Romans 8:26-27), we can be purposefully praying at all times, in every place.  When it comes to praying continually, here are a few time-honored suggestions: 

·       Start where you are.  Even prayers of just a few minutes are great.  The key is making it a habit.

·       Start with your priorities.  Pray for your spiritual growth, then your wife and family, and outward from there.

·       Start with a prayer list.  Jot down prayer requests on three-by-five cards so you can remember them and lift them up throughout the day.

Lord, to be able to talk with You anytime- all the time!-is such a privilege.  Help me take advantage of this tremendous opportunity and grow in my relationship with You.  Amen

Remember, in the words of Pastor Glen, “Stay Strong, Stay Focused… THE BEST IS YET TO BE!”
