we need to pray


Choose to pray.  


Yesterday we talked about connecting with people.  The best way to keep the connection and assure that it is clear is to begin the connection with God.  Our connection to God.


We hear from Him in many ways, yet the best connection is to pray.  This is a subject and need that we have examined many times in the devotions I have shared.  


Prayer is essential.  Circumstances in our lives and around the world call us to pray.


A friend with a health need… we need to pray.


A conflict in another part of the world… we need to pray.


All the time and not just in crisis… we need to pray.


That is why I bring this to ur attention once again today with the needs around us growing in so many ways.  We can pray and connect with God.


He is able, and He is listening.


Spend time praying today because… we need to pray.


2 Chronicles 7:15  NLT

My eyes will be open and my ears attentive to every prayer made in this place.


Lamentations 2:19  NLT

Rise during the night and cry out. Pour out your hearts like water to the Lord. Lift up your hands to him in prayer, pleading for your children, for in every street they are faint with hunger.


Ephesians 6:18  NLT

Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.


Philippians 4:6  NLT

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.


1 Timothy 2:8  NLT

In every place of worship, I want men to pray with holy hands lifted up to God, free from anger and controversy.


We need to pray!

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you ...

wash feet, sharing hope

  John 13:4-5,14 NLT  So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow.  He served.  He valued and gave value to others.  That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet.  It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives.  Jesus said we should do this.  See the verse above.  Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
