Prayer Day – Materialism
Definition of materialism (Google) – a tendency to consider material possessions and physical comfort as more important than spiritual values. Lord, You desire our obedience in every area of our lives. And You are MOST WORTHY of our obedience in everything. Please give us hearts that long for Your presence, and that hunger… Continue reading Prayer Day – Materialism
Prayer Day
Praying Scripture in faith is a powerful way to claim the promises God has given to us in His Word and to make them bear much fruit in our lives as we trust God in faith to do what He has promised He would do for those who love and obey Him. Most of the… Continue reading Prayer Day
Praying for Our Husbands to Be Blessed
Greg and April – May 28, 1994 For the first 14+ years in our marriage, I prayed for Greg a lot – which sounds very noble and godly, right? Unfortunately, my motives were so selfish. 🙁 I prayed primarily for God to make Greg be more loving, to make him pray with me, to make… Continue reading Praying for Our Husbands to Be Blessed

I love what David Platt says about praying when we are abiding in Christ and full of His Spirit: “Change your desires… Continue reading Praying Scripture
Prayer Day – Consecration
We don’t talk much about consecration in many of our churches today. But – all believers are to live lives that are fully consecrated to God. That is His design. That is what it means for Jesus to be our LORD. This is what the “normal” life of a Christian is to be all… Continue reading Prayer Day – Consecration
Prayer Day – Relationships Take Time
36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” 37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[a] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[b] 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”… Continue reading Prayer Day – Relationships Take Time
Prayer Day – Praying with Humility
Quotes from E.M. Bounds about humility – “The Essentials of Prayer” chapter 2 To be humble… is to be modest, lowly, with a disposition to seek obscurity. Humility keeps itself from the public gaze. It does not seek publicity or hunt for high places – and it does not care for prominence… It never exalts… Continue reading Prayer Day – Praying with Humility
