Life Principles For Those Who Choose To Follow Jesus And Live The Discipled Life
Principle #5 The disciple of Jesus Christ experiences an intimate and interactive dialogue with God as he or she prays.
Psalm 3:4 I was crying to the LORD with my voice, And He answered me from His holy mountain. Selah.
Core Value: Prayer
Application: The disciple of Jesus Christ experiences an intimate and interactive dialogue with God as he or she prays.
• The person who follows Jesus Christ knows the One who wants to hear the cry of our heart.
• Because there is a personal relationship between Jesus and the disciple, prayer is more than just a futile exercise. Instead, prayer becomes the very language of intimacy.
• Prayer is not a monologue. Prayer is a dialogue. How wonderful it is when the disciple pauses to listen and hear from God. Selah (chew on this).
Reflect & Respond: Some Really Good Questions To Ponder…
When I pray, can I sense any difference in the intensity of my prayer when I not only pray to God in my mind but use my voice to speak out loud to Him?
What do I need to improve upon in my life in order to be able to better listen to God when He speaks to me?
Prayer:
Lord Jesus, it is such a blessing to me that You not only want me to talk to You about my life but You also want to talk to me about Your life. May our conversations always help me become more like You.
