PRAYING TOGETHER AS A FAMILY
Without faith it is impossible to please God and this short, simple psalm is a beautiful example of a one who demonstrated a growing faith in God. He does not rely on his own strength and innate abilities, but places his trust in the Lord and is confident that God's Word would come to pass. He maintains his conviction that God's Word is sure and has the assurance that God's promise of things to come would assuredly take place. It is easier to remind others who are facing great trials in their lives, of their need to trust in the Lord in the challenging circumstance they face or when confronted with their own personal problems! But how much more difficult it is to translate that secure faith into our own unsettled heart? Let us all Set Our Hearts To Trust In The Lord no matter what problems arise and stand firm on His promises. His past faithfulness proves His continued constancy and never-failing fidelity. He has proved Himself to be our faithful God, the anchor of our Soul, our never failing Helper, and the Sustainer of our soul. Surely God is my help; the Lord is the one who sustains me. Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we praise and thank You for Your Word and the encouragement it gives us. Thank You for the lessons we can learn from David, who trusted Your Word and stood firm on Your promises, even when being hotly pursued by evil violent men who sought to destroy him. We praise You that You are our God, our Helper, and the Sustainer of our souls. Keep us from allowing the stresses and strains of life to cause us to doubt Your Word, and keep our feet in the path of righteousness, for His name's sake we Pray, AMEN. We Are God's Masterpiece, God's workmanship, God's handiwork, God's creatures ,we are God's new creation in Christ Jesus. We were born spiritually dead in our sins. In God's eyes, we were a rotting corpse, the putrefying remains of a fallen creation with no beauty that God should desire us; with no hope, help, comfort, or peace in the world. But being so rich in mercy, in His gracious loving-kindness, God loved us. Even though we were in the pitiable state of death because of our sins, He gave us life in Christ. Our present condition is irredeemable, a fallen creature can never change, but when He raised Christ from the dead, God exchanged our old life in Adam for our new life in Christ. When HE died, WE died, and when Christ was risen, we too were raised from our state of death into newness of life. We must never forget that it is only by God's grace that we have been saved. It is only by God's grace that we have salvation, and we access that salvation through faith. By grace we are saved, through faith and not of ourselves, lest we boast, salvation is a gift of God's grace. But we have not been raised to newness of life for no purpose. We are God's masterpiece, made in Christ Jesus in order that we may be able to perform the good acts and good works, which God prepared for us to do before we were even born. How awesome it is that we truly are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Our United Prayer:
Loving Father, we praise Your wonderful name that we are Your handiwork. Thank You that we were not saved by good works, but by grace through faith in Jesus. But thank You that we are saved unto good works, and so we pray our lives would be lived to serve You wholeheartedly in the works You have prepared for us to do, to Your praise and glory. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN. This is a verse we all love to quote as we rejoice in the abundant supply of our generous God Who is overflowing with gracious-mercy and bubbling over with loving-kindness. He does not make any promises that will be broken, and the super-abundance of His Generosity Covers All Things. It covers anything and everything that we need. All good and perfect gifts come from our Father in heaven Who is our great Provider. Indeed, not one of us could draw another breath without His provision and grace, but God is no man's debtor. Let's never translate our wants into our needs. Rather, let us live our lives on earth knowing that this life is fleeting and that our eternal home is in heaven. Be content with all that we receive and give God both the thanks and the glory for all His ongoing and abundant supply. Rejoice to be children of our generous God and be ready and willing to honor the Lord with all our possessions and finances. Become cheerful givers for the cause of the gospel, knowing that this honors the Lord Who will never fail to provide everything we need. And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus. Our United Prayer:
Loving Father, we stand amazed at Your gracious bounty, knowing that You care about both the little things that we need today, as well as the eternal blessings that are being laid up for us in heaven, for which we praise Your holy name. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN. Jesus lived as a man in the way that God desires all His children to live - in lowliness of spirit and in complete dependence upon the Father. He lived as we are called to live, in order to demonstrate to us how we should live in utter dependence upon the Son so that we might know God intimately, and Jesus Christ Whom He has sent. The right way to live the Christian life is In Total Reliance Of The Lord, clinging to Him by faith, admitting our helplessness, and trusting in His strength. The Lord Jesus was meek and lowly in heart and we are to learn of Him. His entire life was spent living the life of a man that trusted entirely on God, and He did only those things that He heard from the Father. In like manner, when we take His yoke upon us and learn to live in continuous dependence upon Him, we too shall find rest for our souls, for His yoke is easy and His burden is light. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for the example of humility and grace that the Lord Jesus set throughout His life, as He lived in utter dependence upon You. May we learn from Him so that in humility of heart and gentleness of spirit, we may learn to live in complete dependence upon Him, Whom to know is life eternal. In Jesus Name we Pray, AMEN. This parable is designed to urge us not to become discouraged or to lose heart, but to keep on seeking the Lord, to keep on keeping on, in utter dependency on our Heavenly Father. The need to keep in Constant Communion With The Lord is not just a good idea but is absolutely necessary. It is imperative that we maintain an open channel of communication between ourselves and our Heavenly Father, and when that channel of communication is closed, it is not the fault of our Father but our own, sin in its many disguises is the single cause that keeps sinful human from a holy God and keeps a forgiven sinner from their Heavenly Father. In this parable, we are urged that Christians MUST pray at all times and not to lose heart, it is only the humble heart that is clean before the Lord and who trusts in Christ alone for his needs and necessities, that will maintain constant communion and uninterrupted fellowship - which equates to an attitude of unbroken prayer. Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. Our United Prayer:
Loving Father, help us, we pray, to remain clean before You in thought, word, and deed, so that we may maintain that attitude of unbroken communion with You. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN. |
