More on Prayer

I found this list in Granddaddy Ezra's bible that Mom was using.

Pitfalls of prayer
Entering God's presence without proper respect
Confessing sin in generalities
Failing to act on what God says
Insisting on knowing the outcome
Offering more praise to people than to God
Praising God for answers to prayer only when it goes our way

This week's devotion book continues to  be on prayer

Lord give me a heart for prayer that reaches well beyond my wants and wishes.
Jesus (our example) often withdrew to quiet secluded areas to pray.
That is what I plan to do as we head north
I need His strength now as reality begins to hit.

Teach me to follow your example of prayer faithfulness through the Bible and prayer.
Teach me to pray for  other more than I pray for myself.
Bring to mind those who need the ministry of prayer.

Prayer is more than mentioning a need to God.
It is connecting with God intimately and interceding for others faithfully.
The greatest thing we can do for God and Man is pray
Not talking about prayer but Praying.
Prayer works
