Did You Pray First?

“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”—2 Chronicles 7:14

  • The Most Dangerous Prayer

    October 27, 2021 /

    Do you want to know how to take your life to the next level? Want everything in your life to change? Want to experience a closer relationship with God?

    Let me introduce you to what I think is the most dangerous prayer in Scripture:

    “Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting” (Psalm 139:23-24).

  • 5 Symptoms of an Unhealthy Prayer Life by Matt Erickson

    October 25, 2021 /

    Many of us have a hard time maintaining a vibrant prayer life.

    Even when we manage to set aside time to pray, we can still feel like we’re not doing it right:

    • Our minds drift, distracted by worries and a never-ending To-Do list.
    • Our time with God doesn’t always feel relational.
    • We get the sense we’re doing a lot of talking, but not much listening.
    • We might even feel a vague sense of unworthiness, knowing there are areas of our lives where we’re coming up short and imagining God will want us to focus on those very areas.

  • The Most Difficult Aspect Of Praying by Dr. Joe McKeever

    October 22, 2021 /

    “We do not know how to pray as we should” (Romans 8:26).

    I know some things my  pet does not.

    My dog thinks he wants to fight that pesky cat next door. By his barking and straining at the leash, Albie gives every indication that chasing that cat would be the high point of his day.  It wouldn’t.  It would be his greatest nightmare.

    That little cat sits on the driveway, completely unmoving when my dog walks within 10 feet, barking and snarling and threatening.  The cat hardly blinks an eye.  Another day at the office.  Another house dog who thinks he wants a piece of me but has no idea the trouble he’s asking for.

  • Praying for Our Children’s Salvation by Joel Beeke

    October 20, 2021 /

    The salvation of our children is priceless; their spiritual needs far outweigh their physical needs. They need our prayers—our earnest prayers with hearts aflame, both for their initial repentance and coming to Christ by faith, and for their life of ongoing growth in faith. Matthew Henry rightly declared that it is of far more value for parents who die to leave behind a treasury of prayers for their children than it is to leave behind a treasury of silver and gold.

  • Time Alone for God: The Ageless Habits of Jesus Christ by David Mathis

    October 18, 2021 /

    “All of humanity’s problems stem from man’s inability to sit quietly in a room alone.” -Blaise Pascal (1623-1662)

    It’s a sweeping claim, but it might just be the kind of overstatement we need today to be awakened from our relentless stream of distractions and diversions. How hauntingly true might it be, that we are unable to sit quietly? Four hundred years after Pascal, life may be as hurried and anxious as it has ever been. The competition for our attention is ruthless. We not only hear one distracting Siren call after another, but an endless cacophony of voices barrages us all at once.
