Summer Challenge
The Growing Season Continues …
A recent article stated the greatest obstacle in growing a spiritual life was finding the time to pray. Think you don’t have time to pray? Consider giving the “2fer Prayer” a try. Ask yourself:
- How has God moved in your life lately? Praise God for 2 things.
- What are you thankful for today? Thank God for 2 things.
- Have you wronged someone? Be sorry for 2 things.
- Have you promised to pray for someone? Pray for 2 people.
- What do you need at this time? Pray for 2 things for yourself.
Picture each person or situation that comes to mind as you pray and contemplate them with sincerity. Then, sit and listen. God is usually found in the silence of our hearts. How is God speaking to you during your time of prayer?
