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 time I’ve done a Prayer Prompt series and yesterday, we spent time looking at the first part of Romans 12:12, “rejoice in hope.” Today, we are focused on “be patient in tribulation.” And tomorrow, we’ll review the last part of the verse, “constant in prayer.” As much as this verse spoke to me, I admit – I only … Continue reading 10.20.17 Prayer Prompt: Hard Times

PRAYER PROMPT ••• God doesn’t always speak in a big grand gesture. More often, He whispers to us. And we just need to listen. A friend commented on yesterday’s post that the reference to Romans 8:28 was the second time she’d seen it that day. I take that stuff seriously and it’s no coincidence.

PRAYER PROMPT ••• There are some days for which there are no words. Yesterday was one of them. I learned about the Vegas shooting after I wrote the morning prayer prompt and like so many, I wondered how on earth someone could do something like that.
