PRAY

14Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. 15For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin. 16Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
   Hebrew 4: 14-16 NIV

 

   

Prayer is one of the unlimited resources available to each of us. In this bound-up world, prayer may be a lost art, but it is always the starting point when we move toward God. In prayer we set aside our agendas, letting God's priorities become our priorities, and we receive his resources.   - John F. Westfall

You don't have to learn some special prayer jargon to start a conversation with God. Honesty and a willingness to establish a personal relationship with him are the only initial requirements. God is looking for an opportunity to reveal himself to you, so if you put him to the test and then watch for an answer without too many preconceptions about how the answer will come, I can guarantee you that you'll be in for some exciting surprises.  - Pat Boone
