PRAY FIRSTPavyzdys

Prayer is not just for Sunday school and mealtimes. It is not to be reserved only for your daily quiet times. Prayer is for all times. Communicating with God throughout your day brings Him into everything and everyone you encounter—your spouse and kids, your boss and coworkers, friends and neighbors, baristas and customer service reps, delivery people and mechanics, bankers and teachers.

When you pray first, you keep in constant contact with Almighty God, the Creator of heaven and earth, who also happens to be your Abba Father, your lavishly loving Papa. When you pray first, you have access to God the Father through Jesus the Son, who has paid the price for your sin and now intercedes on your behalf without ceasing. When you pray first, the Holy Spirit sticks with you closer than any friend. He’ll help you pray even when you don’t know how to express yourself with words.

When you pray first, your faith matures and you bear the spiritual fruit God has planted in you.

Prayer

Lord, thank You for allowing me to communicate directly with You. Please hear my prayers, and please help my faith grow and mature. Amen.
