In order to truly bless readers with a prayer series, I need some volunteers.
Yes. That means you!
I have enabled anonymous comments, and would like three volunteers to comment once a week about their prayer lives. You will follow a simple format, such as:
- What went well
- What was difficult
- What did you learn?
You don't have to chronicle each day. Just tell how it went for you in a week's time, as a whole.
I will give you code names, such as anonymous 1, anonymous 2, and anonymous 3. It would probably be helpful to give a little information up front about the number of children you have and their ages, whether you are twenty-something, thirty-something, forty-something....and how long you've been a Believer.
If you say no to this, let it not be because you think you pray less than most people. Most people don't pray much. Or, they pray a lot for a week, and then not at all for three weeks--except for a few desperate sentences uttered to the Lord here and there (which is better than nothing--any discourse with God is good).
And the Bible does say we should pray without ceasing, so sentences uttered here and there, all day long, are excellent. If that is where you are right now, than write about that.
God works with us right where we're at. I've been a Christian for fourteen years, and His message to me now is this:
I expect more discipline from you now. I expect you to live the Word, not just read it.
I've learned over and over that I can't live the Word, without the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit lives the Word through me. Self-effort gets me no where--except at the very moment I sit down to pray. The Spirit gives me the words--I don't even do the actual praying.
My part is to make regular full stops, and utter the first word. Same as with Bible reading. Our part is to sit down at regular intervals, and open the Bible. I believe most people will agree, that simply sitting down and opening the Bible, is the hardest part.
Prayer is communing with the Spirit.
Prayer is the avenue by which we live the Word.
Bible reading is the avenue by which we learn the Word.
The Spirit is with us during both.
Please join me? By volunteering, you will automatically have some accountability--something we all need.
Don't worry about how well you write. Just jot it all down as an anonymous comment, or in an e-mail to me, christine4431(at)ymail (dot)com. I will edit each entry for spelling, grammar, sentence structure, and punctuation. Once a week, I'll publish them in a Day in the Life of a New Prayer Warrior post.
Please help?
Edited to add: On second thought, I think it would work better if you just give me the name you want to use to identify your posts. Either your real name, or a name you pick out. Thank you!
