Prayer for help

-

 Our Father and our God, I need your help.  Please take this burden of mine . . . Do not let me take the burden back from you, Father, but let me rest with the knowledge that you are handling it.  I thank you that you love me enough to carry my problems.  I love you, Lord, in Jesus' name. 

Amen.

7 Step Prayer Process

-
       Perhaps the day gets away from you and you forget to pray.  Rather than going to bed without praying because you don't have the will or the energy to pray for 10 minutes, you can shorten the experience.  Take just one minute. Yes, one sinlge minute.  You can still go through each of the 7 steps, but just speak one line to God about one thing in each step. 1. Gratitude     - Begin by thinking of a personal dialogue for whatever you are most grateful for today. 2. Awareness     -Revisit the times in the past 24 hours that you were and were not the best version of yourself.  Talk to God about these situations and what you learned from them. 3. Significant Moments     -Identify something you experienced today and explore what God might be trying to say to you through that event (or person). 4.

Experiencing Jesus

-
      Jesus intends for you to experience the pleasure and reassuring peace of His presence at the core of your life.  He wants to be more than just another volume in your encyclopedia of biblical facts.  He didn't die for you to simply strike a deal guaranteeing heaven.  He died for you to make you His own and to grant you the unspeakable privilege of growing intamacy with Him. Paul wrote to the early followers of Jesus, "He (God) is the one who invited you into this wonderful friendship with his Son, Jesus Christ." Corinthians1:9     -It's not some tedious morning routine, it's truly getting to know Jesus.     -I t's about feeling His nearness on the journey.     -It's about unshakable confidence that only His presence can give.     -It's about having courage in the face of previously intimidating encounters.     -It's about access to wisdom and unfailing guidance.     -It's about a closeness that enables your spirit to commune with Him, anyw
