She Reads Truth - Prayer in the Bible Day 19

Prayer in the Bible Day 19: The Everywhere & The Somewhere

Day 19 Scripture: Acts 4:23-31 and 1 Thessalonians 5:17

When should we pray? Where should we pray?

ALWAYS & EVERYWHERE

We should have such a closeness with God and also those around us (friends and family) that a conversation can naturally flow into prayer (what would God say? Lets pray about it.)

Remember our practice days in this series? I wrote "Everything done right requires practice." and we have to build our relationship with God through time spent in quiet study, prayer, and praise.

A relationship with God is build through communication and time spent in prayer - anything, anywhere, & everywhere. But this relationship also develops when we meet with God regularly at a specific time and place.

Do you make and keep your appointments with your Father?

A specific place can be anywhere you choose. A place with your bible, journal, pens, markers, etc. Where you feel comfortable, relaxed, and can open your heart to God without distractions.

In bed in the morning before the kids are up (this is my place). Or in your home office, on the patio with your coffee, at night cuddled up on the couch...ANYWHERE

Do you look forward to that time? Do you feel different when you miss that appointment?
