 Luke 6:12 And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.We all need to come upon a peaceful and yet zealous attitude towards prayer. I think we all may have a different idea as to what prayer is....prayer doesn’t “help” God--prayer is a means to humble ourselves in mindful silence to remind ourselves and remind God we know His attributes and holiness and we understand our sinfulness and our many weaknesses. Prayer is a lifeline of meaningful thoughts and words that will come to us when we practice our faith in silence and solitude. Prayer is our crying out at times to our Heavenly Father the way we may have cried out to our earthly fathers or mothers in days gone by. Scripture says, in those moments, our Lord not only hears us, but will never forget our hurts in this life. Isaiah 49:15 (KJV 1900) — 15 Can a woman forget her sucking child, That she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yea, they may forget, Yet will I not forget thee.

 Here in America we have TV preachers who distort the Word of God bringing shame to themselves and sorrow to those who are unfortunate enough to believe their distortions. The Bible says that if we delight ourselves in the Lord, HE WILL GIVE US THE DESIRES OF OUR HEARTS! Here is the sweet irony or paradox in that passage....If we delight ourselves in the Lord, then the desire of our heart WILL BE to delight ourselves in the Lord! 2020 is gone, we cannot bring it back. Let's make 2021 the year we make serious our relationship with Jesus Christ our Lord....Let's make 2021 the year we delight ourselves in the Lord! may the Lord bless your New Year!
