October 9, 2017

One of the questions I get asked often is “Is there a right or wrong way to pray?” The short answer is “No.” Though words are important for they convey meaning, give expression, and provide communication, when it comes to prayer, they are only part of the story. For instance, we pray more unspoken prayers than we realize. There are also times our words don’t match our heart’s desire. In those cases, what is more important: the words or our heart’s desire? The Apostle Paul even said when words fail us, the Holy Spirit intercedes on our behalf (Romans 8:26-27).

Countless times when I have received horrible news about a friend, a church member, or an acquaintance, and my first thought was, “God, how can I help this person?” Not knowing what to pray, my thoughts were only for their strength to endure. As quick as I said, “Lord, I don’t know where to begin,” I perceived God to say, “I already know.”

Words are important but don’t get hung up on them. Eventually the words will come. Focus on your own heart—just express it to God and that will be enough.

This week’s reading:

Monday – Luke 6

Tuesday – Luke 7
Wednesday – Luke 8
Thursday – Luke 9
Friday – Luke 10

Recap: Youth Rafting Trip

The 2017 SPY Rafting Trip was a big success! We rafted, we sang, we swam, and we praised God!

We also learned about how our souls need to be rehydrated with the love and grace of Jesus Christ, all while enjoying the God’s beautiful creation of nature of mountains and river. What better way to reconnect and experience our God!?!?
