Prayers In Our Daily Lives

 

 

We have been studying prayer in one of our adult bible classes.   It is very interesting the types of prayers we pray. I have to admit I pretty much shoot arrow prayers to God during my daily life.  I feel like if I sat down and named every person that I wanted to pray for I would be there for hours.

I was doing some Bible Marking today about prayer. If you aren’t familiar with Bible Marking check into it at “Come Fill My Cup” blog.

I understood the verse I was reading but wanted to go a little deeper.

1 Timothy 2:1

I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;

 Exactly what is the difference between prayer, supplication and intercession? Google to the rescue.

     Prayer

• A solemn request for help or expression of thanks addressed to God or an object of worship.

Supplication

• The action of asking or begging for something earnestly or humbly.

Intercession

• The action of intervening on behalf of another.

 Not sure I ever really picked up on the differences between these three.

 A simple lesson for me today, but made me more aware of my prayers.

 Hope it helped you.

 May God Bless You,

Amazing Life

Life is amazing isn’t it? The birth of spring, almost summer, is all around us. Everywhere we look life is coming back to us. Isn’t that just like our Heavenly Father? Always blessing us. Every day we wake up is another blessing from heaven.


As amazing as this life is, it also has difficult times. Life can send some challenges our way. It’s what we do with those challenges that create the people we are today.

When you need advice who do you turn to? If you are like most, you call a friend or family member. Someone who will listen and help you sort things out. Occasionally we need more help than that.

God has assured us He is there for us, daily, during the good times and the bad.

Psalm 32:8
I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you

Doesn’t that sound wonderful? Your Heavenly Father is there for you, a big or small problem it doesn’t matter. His word is the Bible and all we need to know is right there. Now, you do have to search out His word to find the answer, but it’s there.

In today’s world of technology we have many ways we can search God’s word. For me there is nothing like touching the pages of my Bible and seeing the words, but how about Podcasts or watching sermons on YouTube.

When you are out walking or cleaning, plug into something you can listen to that will lift your spirits and guide you through lives journey.

May God Bless
