PRAYER

Heavenly Father, help me to have a better prayer-life. Lord, remind me through the busy world we live in, that I need to make time to talk with you. When I stop praying I stop being connected to You, My Source. Without You I am nothing. Never let me lose sight of what is important. Amen.

"Ask and it will given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened."

Matthew 7:7-8

What is the use of praying if at the very moment of prayer we have so little confidence in God that we are busy planning our own kind of answer to our prayer?

John 14:13-14

Before they call I will answer; while they are still speaking I will hear.

Isaiah 65:24

Every day and every hour,

Father, I breathe in your life giving power.

Power to love, power to be pure,

Power to be well, power to endure!

John 15:7

O you who hears pray, to you all men will come. When we were overwhelmed by sins, you forgave our transgressions. Bless are those you choose and bring near to live in your courts! We are filled with the good things of your house, of your Holy Temple.

Psalm 65:2

For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer, but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.
