Meditation Mondays - Prayer

Prayer is a powerful weapon and also a must need in your life. To me prayer is another way to connect and communicate with God. Prayer is so important. I like to think about it as a telephone straight to Heaven. I always start my quiet time out with prayer. Usually I will thank God for my blessings and for another day. Sometimes if I have certain requests to pray for I will do that as well. I ask Him to open up my eyes, ears and heart as I study His word. Sometimes I just keep quiet and listen for God to speak to me. There are times when I am praying for a specific person and God will speak to me and bring to mind a Bible verse or something. Here's an example: Saturday night I was praying for my sister because she has started a new college in following the path God is leading her down. God reminded me of a Bible verse and I prayed that over her. When I texted her the next day she was so encouraged by it. Don't be afraid to let the person know that you are praying for them. It could be a blessing to them. One quote I came across on facebook and pinterest is so fitting for this topic I had to share. Pray when times are tough! Pray when times are great! Pray no matter what! So today my friends I encourage you to take your prayer life seriously because it will do wonders for your relationship with God and strengthen your faith. 

Blessings and Shalom,

Meditation Monday - Teach Me Your Will

Welcome to the first Meditation Monday of 2016! I'm so excited to see what God has in store for not only me but you as well. 

As I was preparing for this post I wanted it to reflect on the new year. I have an app for my phone that I use everyday. It's a great devotion tool. So I thought I would share on what I read New Year's Day. 

Teach me to do your will for you are my God. May your gracious Spirit lead me forward on a firm footing. (Psalm 143:10 ) 

Sometimes in life we wonder what God wants us to do. I for one have struggled with finding what God's will is for me. I still struggle but know I must completely trust Him. I pray that the Holy Spirit will lead me that I may know what is his will.

So as we start this new year lets make it our prayer that The Spirit will lead us on solid ground and that we are a light shinning bright for him as he teaches us. 

Let me know what your thoughts are in the comments. 

Blessings and Shalom,
