Morgellons - Tracy's Devotional

Hi Tracy,

I really enjoyed the devotional that you read on today's Prayer Call. Thank you so much for sharing it with us all.

If you are feeling up to it, I was wondering if you would post it on this thread. It was so insightful and I'd like to reread it. But I also think that the people that weren't able to participate on the call would also like to hear it and that they would benefit from its teaching as well.

Thank you and God Bless,
Anna

Morgellons - Tracy's Devotional

MAGNIFICENT PRAYER by NICK HARRISON

I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and He heard
me out of His holy hill. Selah (Psalm 3:4)

Silent prayers are often true prayers, but there are times,
in extreme suffering, when it's helpful to give vocal expression to our soul's agony.
I know some friends who can never pray to their own
comfort unless they can hear their own voices; and I believe that it's a good thing for most of us to retire to some private place where we cannot be heard by men, and where we can
therefore, freely use our voices in prayer.
Very often, the use of the voice helps to keep the thoughts from wandering and also gives intensity to the desires. You notice that David particularly mentions here that he cried unto the Lord with his voice. No doubt many of his prayers ascended to God from his heart without the medium of his voice; but here, the cry with voice went with the desires of his heart. (Charles Haddon Spurgeon)

PRAY ABOUT IT: Silent prayers are fine. Sometimes because of where we are, they're the only appropriate prayers to offer. However, in our daily time with God, when we're apart from anyone else, we should speak our prayers audibly. As David did, we should cry aloud with our voice.
Today, pray aloud. He will hear out of His holy hill.

Use me, Lord Jesus, for whatever purpose and in whatever way You desire. Here is my poor heart --- an empty
vessel --- fill it with Your grace. Here is my sinful and troubled soul --- quicken it and refresh it with Your love. Take my heart and use it for Your dwelling place. Use my mouth
to spread the glory of Your name. Use my love and all my powers for the edifying of my brothers and sisters in Christ.
Never allow the confidence of my faith to slacken, so that at all times I can truly say: "Jesus needs me and I need Him."
(Dwight L. Moody)

MAGNIFICENT PRAYER by NICK HARRISON

If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives
generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given
to him. But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt,
because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and
tossed by the wind. That man should not think he will receive
anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable
in all his ways. James 1: 5-8

I have been driven to my knees in the overwhelming
conviction that I had nowhere else to go. My wisdom, and
that of all about me, seemed insufficient for that day.
If the Lord did not answer prayer, I could not stand it. And
if I did not believe in a God who works His will with nations,
I should despair of the republic. (ABRAHAM LINCOLN)

PRAY ABOUT IT: The exact nature of President Lincoln's
faith has been often debated. But as the leader of a great
nation, he was often sent to his knees when the wisdom of
mere men proved insufficient.
Lincoln was right on two counts: God does answer prayer
and God does work His will with the nations. Pray today that
our leaders will have the same spirit of prayer and
dependency on God as did Abraham Lincoln.

When God wants me to do something, He always
finds a way of letting me know about it.
(Abraham Lincoln)
