A Pathway of Light

God’s Word, like the sun, gives clear-shining bright light for my path (from Psalm 119:105).

Reading the Bible shows us what to pray.

The Benefits of Praying Scripture: Ephesians 3:17a

When we pray Scripture, our prayers have deeper meaning than we can understand.

When we pray, “that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith (Ephesians 3:17a)” we’re asking the Lord to pervade and govern our actions, behaviors and thoughts.

 

 

 

Thank God for Jesus

Thanks be to God for His Gift, [precious] beyond telling — His indescribable, inexpressible, free Gift (2 Corinthians 9:15 AMP).

The gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 6:23).

Why to Give Thanks to God

We pray with thanks because . . .

The Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations (Psalm 100:5).

Do you pray for friends to be saved?

Spend time in the Lord’s presence praying for yourself.

Create in me a clean heart, O God,
and renew a right spirit within me.
Cast me not away from your presence,
and take not your Holy Spirit from me.
Restore to me the joy of your salvation,
and uphold me with a willing spirit.
Then I will teach transgressors your ways,
and sinners will return to you.
(Psalm 51:10-13 bold mine)

God’s Promise: Steadfast Love

If you are lonely and feel unloved, pray like David did.

“Let your steadfast love comfort me” (Psalm 119:76 ESV).

“Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort” (Psalm 119:76 KJV).
