The Right Form in Prayer | 21 Days of Prayer: Day 8

There is a way to live a relaxed, unhurried, contented life in Jesus amid the pressures and difficulties of life. There is a way to mature spiritually anchored in the love of God. There is a way to remain thoughtful when triggered in conversations and to listen for God’s voice in those experiences. There is a way to surrender to God’s love and will when we are tempted to lash out or be judgmental—even when it is difficult. There is a way to give our lives in service to others without becoming chronically exhausted. There is a way to pray being fully present and in the moment without drifting away into other thoughts.

The answer lies in maintaining the right form in prayer. This includes, but is not limited to, intentionally rearranging our days to routinely integrate the Christian practice of being still and silent in God’s presence. Quiet the noise today and focus on God's love for you.

The Pace of Peace | 21 Days of Prayer: Day 7

Peace is not the absence of pain but the promise of His presence no matter what pain we experience. 

Peace is calm confidence in the finished works of Christ-not the absence of problems. The quality of your life is not determined by what happens to you, but rather is determined by how you respond in the midst of life happening. We cannot have peace around us until there is peace within us. When there is peace within us, we are not moved with what's happening around us.
 

The key to manifesting Peace is to develop a consistent Word and Prayer Time. Here are some questions to consider:

1. Identify what angers, irritates you, and ask yourself the honest question of why?
2. Examine your daily routine: Am I being active or am I being productive? Do my most important relationships getting my full attention or am I constantly doing other things? Am I present and in the moment?
3. Am I taking at least 24 hours a week to break from what I am doing for a living to pause and reflect on God's goodness?

Father Wounds | 21 Days of Prayer: Day 6

The name "Father" has many meanings depending on the family of origin you come from. Whether your relationship with your father was an enjoyable one or even non-existent, the relationship with your natural father influences your relationship with your Heavenly Father. Regardless as to how your relationship was with your natural father (or lack thereof), I want you to go to your Heavenly Father in your prayer time today knowing you as His child. God has no adult children. A natural child in a loving home, from experience, understands whatever they need (internally and externally) is provided. How much more does your Heavenly Father care for you?

Keeping the Pace Through the Pain | 21 Days of Prayer: Day 5

Pain is not the admission of weakness but the reality of your humanity. Resilient people are able to move forward with a pure heart even when it hurts. As you increase your capacity to feel and process the pains that come from the losses and disappointments in life, you are able to increase the trajectory of your destiny. You and God are a majority. You’ve got this!

Progress, Not Perfection | 21 Days of Prayer: Day 4

“Perfect” can be the enemy of “good.” One of the biggest myths we all face from time to time is only flawless performance is acceptable. In prayer (and life for that matter), it's important to celebrate the "small wins." If you wait until something spectacular to appreciate the work God has done in you, you will miss the beautiful journey He is taking you on right now.

The Trap of Comparison | 21 Days of Prayer: Day 3

The only way to lose the miracle of something great is to compare it to something else. Allow contentment to keep you from falling into the trap of comparison.
 

Combating Comparison starts with:

1. Focusing on God’s Covenant and Character: God’s love and promises that He made concerning you.
2. Reminding yourself of God's love for you: He loves you too much to leave you where you are! He Is a God of His Word and His word toward you will not return unto Him void (Isaiah 55:11).

The Right Pace of Prayer | 21 Days of Prayer: Day 2

Before you start your day in prayer, there is one thing we want you to keep in mind - keeping pace with the rhythm of grace. Knowing how much God loves you serves as the foundation of a vibrant prayer life. The love of God is not only the "diving board" to exciting prayer but also the pool we "swim" in to live the life you were created to live.
