Scripture Verse
"You have declared this day that the Lord is your God and that you will walk in obedience to him, that you will keep his decrees, commands and laws—that you will listen to him. And the Lord has declared this day that you are his people, his treasured possession as he promised, and that you are to keep all his commands."
Deuteronomy 26: 17-18
Slow down your heart and mind, and
realize that your purpose in this life is to love Jesus, and that everything
you say and do reflects your relationship with Him.
Take some time now to pray and meditate on this
Psalm to the Lord:
Psalm 71
In your righteousness, rescue me and deliver me;
turn your ear to me and save me.
Be my rock of refuge, to which I can
always go; give the command to save me,
Deliver me, my God, from the hand of the
wicked, from the grasp of those who are evil and cruel.
For you have been my
hope, Sovereign Lord, my confidence since my youth.
From birth I have relied on you; you
brought me forth from my mother’s womb. I will ever praise you.
I have become a sign to many; you
are my strong refuge.
My mouth is filled with your praise, declaring
your splendor all day long.
“…being
confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion
until the day of Christ Jesus.”
Do not strive in your own strength; cast yourself
at the feet of the Lord Jesus, and wait upon Him in the sure confidence that He
is with you, and works in you. Strive in prayer; let faith fill your heart so you
will be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might.
Although God
certainly knows all our needs, praying for them changes our attitude from
complaint to praise and enables us to participate in God’s personal plan for
our lives.

"Those persons who know the deep peace of God, the unfathomable peace that passeth all understanding, are always men and women of much prayer.”
R. A. Torrey
“Don’t pray when you feel like it.
Have an appointment with the Lord and keep it.”
