mindbodyspirit - a blog for the awakened souls

Heavenly Father, I am so excited to dedicate this time to you today. I pray that the eyes of my heart will be open as I spend time in your word and I ask for total focus while I read. May I be filled with the didactic spirit that allows me to immerse myself in the word, and discover those hidden messages that will be a blessing to me by revealing who you are and your calling for me.  You said in your word that I shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God, let this word be food to my soul and victual for my spirit. As I go through my day, I pray that this word shall not depart from my mouth, instead, I will meditate on it day and night so that I may be careful to do what I have read for then I will be prosperous and successful.  Thank you, Father, for access to this wonderful word that is a guide for my life.   In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.

Prayer is not entertainment, it is a time of fellowship with God You should have a place to pray regularly, to mentally and spiritually look forward to going to this meeting place to meet with God. It’s not about the words, length, or repetition of your prayers - it’s about the quality. You must concentrate on living a life that isn’t contradictive and having the right attitude.  The concept of 3D prayer - Desire, Discipline, and Delight. First, you have to want to be in communion with God, to be a person of prayer. You can ask God to plant this desire in you by His Spirit.   Second, we need discipline. Every day you should check in with yourself to be sure you are staying on track with your spiritual goals. It is by God’s amazing grace that we are able to have a personal connection with him just by accepting Jesus Christ as our savior and to have our lives renewed through his Spirit. Lastly, is Delight. Prayer will become a delight for you! By spending time with God ...
