1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Rejoice always pray without ceasing to give thanks in all circumstances; this is God's will for us.
We have enough going on in our lives and the world to pray without ceasing, and if we have children or a spouse, we can go into overtime. God wants to communicate with us daily through prayer and worship. Daily worship and prayer open the channel for our blessings and helps keep our families and friends in the Blood. Prayer also invites peace and joy into our hearts.
Father, we thank You that Your amazing faithful love has been poured out for us at the cross and poured into us by the Holy Spirit. Let the Spirit develop our Fruit to help build Your character in us. Lord, we want to experience Your great love. Help us to walk by faith through this Valley of death, hold our hands and order our steps around the obstacles ahead. Help us endure suffering by practicing what we've learned, so Your courage and strength will manifest in our lives. Help us own our need of You as You teach us to stand with faith in our storms. Help us fully embrace Your Son, Jesus Christ, our Redeemer. So, pour Your wisdom and knowledge into our hearts, in increasing measure, by the power of Your Holy Spirit, through Christ our Lord. In Jesus' name Amen.
Amen, amen, amen
