Many of you know that I go to the IHOP, Internation House of Prayer. Since then I have prayed so much more, I have learned so much from going there every week. Now our InterVarsity is having an unofficial study about prayer. It seems to be on the hearts of alot of my friends and the importance of prayer.The book we are going through is absolutely amazing. It's so great and amazing how prayer is so evident in the Bible. It happened so frequently. It's amazing.
Well, I have learned that as I forgive people in my life that causes me distress and even anger, I forgive them for that verbally and let's just say it makes my life so much better.
I have blogged earlier about how prayer and fasting is important in a christian's lifestyle. And I will continue and always think that. But I have a story that almost proves it.
A couple days ago, I believe it was Thursday, I honestly spent very little time that day in prayer and time meditating in the Word. And come to imagine, anything that happened pretty much drove me crazy and I got mad very easily. And the couple days before that I had gone to IHOP on Tuesday and Wednesday night. It was truely amazing experiences that night. And well honestly, prayer was essential. Cause yesterday when I prayed and meditated on the Word and what God had to say to me, and well it made such a big difference and my day was amazing. And I was definitely in a great mood the rest of the day.
I want to challenge you, along with myself, to take time when you wake up in the morning to prayer to our God, and meditate on His Word.
Cause as it says in Hebrews 7:25: "Therefore He is able also to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them."
AKA Our God is always wanting to communicate with us. Not just wanting, but YEARNING to communicate with us.
So let's start off the day communicating with him.
