Listening to the Lord

Today is a day of prayer for me. I am purposing in my heart to offer up continual prayer throughout the day. I am especially opening up my ears to hear what God has to say to me instead of just listing out my items.

Prayer is vital to our lives as believers. Communication with our Father keeps us in tune with what He is doing and gives us guidance as we go through life.

Jesus led a life of prayer. He was always consulting the Father, always listening to hear from the Lord. Those times of prayer let Jesus know when to be baptized, when to go into the wilderness, when to begin His ministry, and which cities He was to visit. Every move Jesus made and word He spoke was initiated by God's Word.

Are you living a life that is led by the Lord? Are you allowing the Lord to guide your footsteps, words, and decisions?

Prayer is not just a time for us to bring petitions before God. It's not supposed to be just a session where we list out all our wants, needs, and desires.

Prayer is a time for us to get in to God's presence and listen to what He has to say! Prayer is our special opportunity to hear God's strategies for what He wants to do with our lives.

Today, I encourage you to spend some time in prayer as well. Turn of the iTunes, tv, and internet. Hang up the phone. Get still and listen for God's voice. Really listen to what He has to say to you today. You may be surprised by what treasures He has to share with you.

Verse of the Day: For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. Romans 8:14
