PRAYER PROMPT ••• This morning is our third and final installment in the review of Romans 12:12. We’ve broken the verse down into “rejoice in hope,” “be patient in tribulation,” and today is “be constant in prayer.” Prayer is the ongoing, never ending conversation that we have with God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. It’s our direct line of communication. And like … Continue reading 10.21.17 Prayer Prompt: Constant Prayer
PRAYER PROMPT ••• This is the first year I’ve ever chosen a word as a theme. My word is “selah.” It has been my focal word. “Selah” is used at the end of various psalms, but Biblical scholars aren’t 100% sure what it means.

PRAYER PROMPT ••• When was the last time you simply stood in awe of the Lord’s mighty power?

Situate your purse / stuff, adjust the seat, put on your seatbelt, etc. … Continue reading 7.29.17 Prayer Prompt: Walk With Jesus
PRAYER PROMPT ••• When people say, “I hate my job,” I cringe. Seriously – it’s a major pet peeve of mine. Those who know me might say, “Easy for you to say, Denise. You love your job.” Yes, I do, but this isn’t the only job I’ve ever had! I get having a bad day at work; I get not liking some of the things … Continue reading 7.8.17 Prayer Prompt: Employment
PRAYER PROMPT ••• Doors open and close; we use them to go in and go out. They are ordinary, yet deeply symbolic; they represent profound possibilities. The Apostle Paul wrote to the Colossians while in prison, “At the same time, pray also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, to declare the mystery of Christ,” (Colossians 4:3a). A literal … Continue reading 7.3.17 Prayer Prompt: Open or Closed – Praise Him Anyway
