God's Words of wisdom for Tuesday 10 May 2011

"Greetings Everyone in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ"

Today's Bible Verse: Hebrews 4:16  "Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need."

On Monday's I am attending a Woman's Bible Study at JPL Bible Church from the book "Love to Pray".  Last week on Tuesday I discussed week 4 of the study from 1 Timothy 2:1.  Since prayer is such a vital importance in the Christian Life I have been compelled to go back to week one and for the next seven weeks on Tuesday's take information from this book and include it in the daily writing.  I have learned so much about prayer from this study thus far and it is my prayer that it will help you in your prayer life as well.

In verse 16 of today's Bible Verse "Let us come boldly" the word "come" means to draw near.  Because of Christ's priestly work, believers can approach God's presence.  The writer of Hebrews is expressing the openness of God's call in Christ "Come"

Boldness means "fearlessness", or "courage".  Believers should courageously approach God in prayer because He is a throne of grace, and our High Priest sits at His right hand interceding for us.    

What was taught in this lesson was (1) that prayer is about a love relationship with God (2) that all elements of prayer are elements of relationship (3) that true prayer starts and ends with God (4) that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are all involved when we pray.

These are the Practical Suggestions: (1) Always start your prayers by asking the Holy Spirit to teach you what and how to pray and (2) As you begin to pray, pause in order to consciously recall that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit want what's best for you.

Today's Hymn:  "Beautiful Garden Of Prayer"

There's a garden where Jesus is waiting, There's a place that is wondrously fair;
For it grows with the light of His presence, 'Tis that beautiful garden of prayer
Oh, the beautiful garden, the garden of prayer; Oh, the beautiful garden of prayer 
There my Savior awaits, and He opens the gates, To the beautiful garden of prayer.

Heaven Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit  It is the request of every Christian as well as it was with the disciples, "Teach us to pray".  Help us to realize that prayer is nothing more than an ongoing and growing love relationship with You Abba Father, Your Son Jesus and the Holy Spirit.  May we grow to understand that praying is all about loving the One to whom we pray.
                                                                                                                                         Amen

Today's Biblical Truth: "Jesus is on our side.  He truly understands"

Have a God Filled and Spirit Led Day.  Go in Peace and Serve the Lord with Gladness.  Love God More Today and always remember that when you have a spiritual dilemma in your life and you yell out, "I CAN'T",  God Whispers to you, "BUT I CAN".

Yours in Christ,
Cindi
