21 Days of Prayer & Fasting - Day 7

Day 7
Good day to each of you!  Let's go in...

Devotional Scripture & Thought
Here is today's scripture with underlined areas of the verse(s) for us ALL to contemplate. I will share a brief thought and you are invited to share your thoughts about the scripture and those highlighted areas in the comments below...

"In this manner, therefore, pray: 'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.;" Matthew 6:9-13 (NIV)

Often referred to as the Lord's Prayer this particular verse is powerful for a number of reasons. Just one of them is the clear direction for us to make prayer a part of our normal experience. It starts out plainly with the, "In this manner, therefore, pray..." We cannot live the life God intends for us to live while here on earth without rich prayer life. This is not an extra, or a nice to have, or a pleasant addition for those who do it (although it is), this is essential for each and every follower of Christ. Without quality time in prayer, we will live well beneath what God desires. So, how are you doing in your prayer time? That's pretty much it, think on how much you intentionally are spending time in prayer and see if you could use an increase in your dosage of time...

What are you reading and what are some of your thoughts...?

My Journey's Observations
I was a bit tired, but I am coming back stronger. 

How about you?

(I also wanted to remind us of a great resource called RightNow Media that you have free access to for quality teaching. If you need help getting to it, please give me a call. In fact, here is an invite if you haven't already signed up.)

Finally
Remember, if you slip and eat or do something you were intending to fast from, just reset and restart. That is part of the learning curve as well.

I love you with the love of God...

Have a wonderful day and a tremendously blessed week!

Blessings,

Pastor Kris

Prayer is a Christians deepest relationship with God, to commune with the creator of heaven and earth, our creator, we are his precious possession. How wonderful to live in his presence. May our prayer be an overflowing fountain of praise, adoration and thanksgiving to God. It is my prayer we grow together in the Word. United in prayer,we know, great things can be accomplished for the Lord. The best is yet to come my friends.
