Focusing on Prayer


Our focus for May seems appropriate since it has begun with the National Day of Prayer for the United States.  The event is based on Romans 15:13, which has three points of focus: hope, joy and peace through the power given to all believers by the Holy Spirit of God.

"Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." Romans 15:13

With so much negativity, discouragement, and thoughts of despair, we need to spread the message about the "God of Hope" who will meet every need spiritually, physically, financially, emotionally, and socially.  God is our hope, our only hope and to Him we lift our voices humbly in prayer for our nation and the world.

For more focused devotionals on prayer, please visit our National Day of Prayer topic.

Reveal the Deep Things God

 

"Open my eyes, that I may see wondrous things from Your law". 
(Psalm 119:18 NKJV)

 Scripture Reading:  1 Corinthians 2:6-10; Psalm 119:18 

Reveal the Deep Things God 

It is no secret that the more time you spend with someone the better you become acquainted with their ways.  The same goes for spending time in fellowship with God through the reading of His word and in prayer. 

As you enter into your study time ask the Lord to reveal the deep things of God to you.  Pray that your eyes will be opened to the wondrous things from the Word of God. (cw) 

"But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit". 
1 Corinthians 2:10 NKJV)

"Open my eyes, that I may see wondrous things from Your law". 
(Psalm 119:18 NKJV)

 “However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor the rules of this age, who are coming to nothing.

But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory, which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.  But as it is written: Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.

But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit.  For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. (1 Corinthians 2:6-10 NKJV)  

Invite Jesus into your heart. Say the prayer of salvation.
