Daily Prayer

 It is so easy to become lost in the demands of daily living that prayer becomes an added chore not a time to talk to the Father who knows and understands us.  One way to keep the focus of your prayer time is to read Psalm 37 and 73 to refocus your heart and mind on exactly who God is and why He wants a living relationship with His creation - especially humans.

Step One - humble yourself - realize the awesome terrible power of God and that you are nothing in comparison to Him and His infinite being.

Step Two - pray, talk honestly with God, tell him about your dreams, goals, plans, desires, hurts, fears - speak like you would to a friend who will not betray you or demean you.

Step Three - seek the guidance of God and look for His direction daily.

Step Four - turn from the lures of the world and its so called success.  Turn to God, read the Word like you would read letters from your parents, best friends, family, spouse.

THEN God will give you rest and peace of spirit.

Daily surrender control of your life to God and DEPEND on Him for all things knowing that His gracious love endures forever - even when you goof up and do something stupid.  Just turn to God and ask for His forgiveness and merciful grace will fill your hurting soul.
