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 | |||

MAGNIFICENT PRAYER by NICK HARRISON If anyone come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me. Mark 8:34 It is helpful to start each new day with a question like the following clearly before you: "Have I surrendered this new day to God, and will I seek and obey the guidance of the Holy Spirit throughout its hours?" Wait until, with the full consent of your will, you can say, "I have; I will." (Eric Liddell) PRAY ABOUT IT: The value of early morning prayers is that it offers the opportunity to surrender the hours ahead to God and then live confidently in the Holy Spirit throughout the day. As you pray today, seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit and obey His lead throughout the day. Obedience shouldn't be hard and forced, but ready, loving and spontaneous ---- the daily doing of one's duty. And not merely that we do our duty, but that in doing it we become more responsive to God. (Phillips Brooks) | |||

MAGNIFICENT PRAYER by NICK HARRISON Whom have I in heaven but You? And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You. My flesh and my heart fail; But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. PSALM 73:25-26 The essence of prayer doesn't consist in asking God for something but in opening our hearts to God, in speaking with Him, and living with Him in perpetual communion. Prayer is continual abandonment to God. Prayer doesn't mean asking God for all kinds of things we want; it is rather the desire for God Himself, the only Giver of Life. Prayer is not asking, but union with God. Prayer is not a painful effort to gain from God help in the varying needs of our lives. Prayer is the desire to possess God Himself, the Source of all life. The true spirit of prayer does not consist in asking for blessings, but in receiving Him who is the giver of all blessings, and in living a life of fellowship with Him. (Sadhu Sundar Singh) PRAY ABOUT IT: Too often in prayer we seek the gift, when to have the Giver is to have the gifts as well. The best blessing from God is Himself. Today, let your desire for God be your prayer. The meaning of prayer is that we get hold of God, not of the answer. (Oswald Chambers) | |||
