If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
⏤ 2 Chronicles 7:14
Praying solves the problems of prayer.
⏤ Samuel Chadwick
The Mornings with God App had a nice Bible verse and quote today, a write-up, and prayer I thought was nice today and wanted to share it as it touches on how important prayer and truth really are in life. The App said, "Our Father in Heaven, we, Your earthly children, worship You. We thank You for Your word, which we can read at the opening of the day, taking it for a lamp to our feet and a light to our path. May it be to us indeed a light this day, shining for us and showing us the way of holiness. We always need a divine lamp, for earth is dark. Sin has made it perilous to travel on these treacherous ways without a lamp. No human friend can guide us infallibly. We cannot guide ourselves. We would never find the way home, were it not for the light of truth which You have given, which makes every smallest part of the path through this world clear and plain if we will walk in the light. Let us not try to walk in the light of our own understanding, and stumble and fall. We put our hands in Yours this morning, and we would be led by You all the day. We do not know where our paths will take us. It may be that darkness lies before us — or hard and rough ways, that we must enter some Gethsemane.
Lead us, O Jesus, where You will — and give us grace to follow submissively. We seek Your blessing upon all the work of this day. Show us what You will have us to do. May we find the tasks You have in Your plan and purpose for us, and then do them faithfully. Let us never resist Your gracious leading. Enable us always to do Your will, as it is done in Heaven. Bless us . . .
in our home life,
in our friendships,
in our social life,
in our play and our work,
in our praying and our serving,
in our toil and our struggle,
in our joy and in our sorrow.
We ask all in the name of Jesus our Savior. Amen."
God wants us to walk in His light! His truth! To pray and dedicate all to Him. We only need to follow Him, His Ten Commandments, the Teachings of Jesus, and be people of goodwill, let His will be done in our lives, and we can spend eternity with Him in Heaven. What a blessing! Pray pray pray, all we need to do is pray and follow God! I look each day at the face of the crucified Jesus Christ, it makes me not want to sin! Turn from sin. Turn to God, follow Him. Do His will! Seek His face!
