KEEP ON PRAYING Poem Devotional

So we keep on praying for you, asking our God to enable you to live a life worthy of his call. May he give you the power to accomplish all the good things your faith prompts you to do. -2 Thessalonians 1:11(NLT)

KEEP ON PRAYING

A poem and essay by ILMA

When you are facing trials, keep on praying

The Lord is close to those who are suffering

When you need to make a decision, continue to ask

The Lord wants you to have wisdom and constantly trust.

Ask God that he will enable you to live a life that’s worthy

After all, He made you in his image and he is Almighty

May the Lord stir you to constantly ask in his name

It benefits your spirit to be humble and not ashamed.

How often do you pray? It is sad to know that even those who claim they are Christians never find time to pray or spend time with the Lord. No wonder, they go to the same mountains again and again and have not experienced breakthroughs. Many people think that praying is hard work and make an excuse that they won’t have the time to do so. This is the work of the enemy, to keep us away from asking and communicating with God in a personal way just like a little child would do. If we keep on praying, we will experience more miracles.

PRAYER

Lord, thank you for having the freedom to choose to always connect with you.

REFLECTION

How can praying make us more like our heavenly Father?

DEVOTING TIME TO PRAY Poem Devotional

Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart.
– Colossians 4:2 (NLT)
DEVOTING TIME TO PRAY
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you wake up looking forward to a new day?
Are you thankful for seeing the sun’s ray?
How much of your thoughts are in disarray
Are you alert to everything that happens or do you stray?
Devote yourselves to prayer with a renewed mind
Allow God’s word to make you see and not stay blind
When you spend time with the Lord, you are using your time wisely
When you waste your time, you will be consumed by the enemy.
Making prayer a task or duty rather than an act of love is one of the many causes why people don’t pray enough. Do you remember the last time you were in love? Didn’t you want to be with that person always and talk to him or her? You want to know everything about the person’s thoughts and character. It’s the same with prayer. If we love God, then we will devote time to talk to him and be with him so we can know him deeply. We would drop everything we are doing, just to be with him. Just like any relationship, the more time we invest, the more intimacy and growth we gain.
PRAYER
Lord, help me to talk to you at all times.
