1 Thessalonians 5:17... Pray without ceasing
I desire to live a life of prayer. I want to be a woman who covers her husband with love and a devoted prayer life. I aspire to pray incessantly for my children, teaching them in love & patience to worship God- serving Him with all their being.
When I get up in the morning... as I brush my teeth... during feeding times... drinking my morning coffee (decaf uh hem)... folding laundry... doing dishes... cleaning toilets... YOU GET IT!?!?! I can lift up loved ones in petition to my Heavenly Father no matter what I'm doing throughout my day. My inner soul should never grow quiet :0)
This evening, my husband shared his heart concerning the kind of day he had. I knew the remedy was seeking Christ, supplicating on behalf of my dearest in all humility and faith. So often our minds play this game..."well, there's nothing I can do; I guess I should pray." no!!! No!!!! NO!!! This line of thinking is so foolish! Prayer should be the FIRST thing we submit ourselves to do. It IS an action! We can beg God for His action- which is ALWAYS the best for us & those we love. Tonight I ask myself, why do I wait until he has a difficult day to pray on his behalf??? I need to make his life a matter of prayer daily. Similarly with my children; I can seek God's affections for the care of my little ones. Prayer should not always be parading a "honey-do" list before the face of God. In fact, I need to use my words to praise and glory in my Maker :0) This brings much joy and satisfaction to a believer to partake in this practice! If you do not make this a habit (telling God how great He is :0) Begin today!!! You will grow closer to Christ, and you will feel amazing in His presence. Golly, you may even get saved! BUT, do not feel guilty or ashamed to ask God for the desires of your heart. He enjoys having a conversation with His little ones as well... so don't hold back! I'm going to start tonight!
