How do you communicate with those closest to you? Do you stop by unannounced…or do you have a regularly scheduled conversation over cups of coffee?… Do you check in by phone?…Are you one who text messages throughout the day?…How about connecting by Facebook or Twitter? Pay attention on how you connect with those closest to you. Compare the time and effort you spend with your friends and family, with the time you spend connecting with God. Prayer is our connection with the One-From-Whom-All-Blessings-Flow. Prayer is a gift. Prayer is the ultimate conversation.
Here are three helpful ways to look at prayer:
In other words, prayers may be lifted up throughout your day, but also, set aside a particular time and place for your conversation with God. We need to pray alone….AND….we need to pray with others: with our spouse, our friends, in a small group, before meals, and at weekly worship. How do we pray? I love that question! Our Lenten Journey begins on February 22nd. Our Lenten Theme this year is Prayer. Let’s learn together how to deepen our prayer life as we make our way to the cross this Lenten season. Let’s listen on Wednesday evenings during Lent about the many different prayers (and pray-ers) in the scriptures… and let’s hear from Trinity members about their prayer life. (Talk to any of us pastors if you have a prayer story to share!) Let’s practice a variety of prayers….. active and still, quiet and loud, together and alone, close to home and around the world. Prayer is a gift. God bless your prayer life! Pastor John
