"I pray that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being" (Ephesians 3:16).
Prayer is not playtime; it is a proclamation that Providence is in control, and that your confidence is in Christ. A man of prayer manifests faith and hope in the Lord.
Therefore, pray for your family, friends and foes to follow Christ with passion and perseverance. Pray for them as Paul prayed, “I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints…” (Ephesians 1:18). Pray for them as Philemon prayed, “I pray that you may be active in sharing your faith, so that you will have a full understanding of every good thing we have in Christ” (Philemon 6). Finally, pray for them as John prayed, “Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well”(3 John 2).

"For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died; and He died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for Him who for their sake died and was raised." --2 Corinthians 5:14-15

To remind myself and share with others the ways in which God works in my life and how He speaks to me daily through what I encounter, discover, experience, and read. Our God truly is an awesome God!
"In life, God does not give you the people you want. He gives you the people you need; to teach you, to hurt you, to love you, to make you laugh...to make you exactly the person He wants you to be."

When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left...and I could say, "I used everything you gave me." ~Erma Bombeck

"Christianity is not a religion. RELIGION is humans trying to work their way to God. CHRISTIANITY is God coming to men and women through a relationship with Jesus Christ."
