Prayer

My soul is being stirred by the approaching Lay Witness Mission and what God wants to do with folks here at Sesser. I have intensified my prayer efforts and as we near the beginning of the Mission, I would encourage each of you to begin focusing your prayer time on how God might touch US during the event. I’ve heard prayer described as many different things, but I prefer to call it exactly what it is: communication. It is how we communicate with God and often times it is how (or at least when) God communicates with us. Prayer is the conversation, whether in pain or with joy, that enables us to cry out to God. It is the all-too-short time when we remove ourselves from the noise and distractions of the world around us and we listen, truly listen to God. It is during prayer that God might verbally speak to, impress upon, or convict our hearts of his will…he does this at times with a thundering shout and at other times with a still small voice. But regardless of the method, the time, or the message, prayer is our ongoing dialogue with the Almighty. What’s he trying to tell you today?
