Prayer Guide and Devotional

Jeremiah 29:12-13

Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.  And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.

There can be times in our lives where we feel so close to God. But these times may not be often and they may not last long. It really depends upon how serious we are in seeking the Lord. Here, the Lord tells us when we call upon Him, when we go to prayer, when we are actively seeking Him and in a close relationship with Him, the Lord listens to us and responds to us. There are times when you can see someone really focused on what they are doing. I remember the bobsled driver in the movie “Cool Runnings” sitting in his room studying all the turns in the course he would be sliding down the next day as the other team members were all out having fun. He would lean left and lean right as he focused in his mind each turn and how he would approach it. That bobsled driver was so focused. He wanted to be his best, he wanted to perform his best, and he wanted to win. We need to take that attitude everyday of our lives into our prayer and devotion time. Do not seek the Lord half-hearted. Do not let TVs, phones, computers, or radios take your attention. Sit and relax and call out to the Lord. Make Him the focus of your life. Search for Him with all your heart. And you will find God and become so close to Him!! Things that are good and things that are important take time and hard work. Your relationship with God is very important!! Time to get to work.

Lord, it can be so hard to focus when I go to prayer. There always seems to be so much going on in my life and I am always thinking of what needs done next. This subtracts from the quality time I have with You. Please, help my focus be 100% on You. Help me to block out sounds and schedules and help me to become one with You. You are my Lord and You are my God. I love You with all my heart and I want an amazingly deep relationship with You. In Jesus name, Amen!!
