I want to share a few nuggets…God’s love for you is deep, wide and more intense than you can imagine. But it can be a struggle to love Him back the way we should—with all our heart, soul, mind and strength. You can’t have a deep relationship with God unless you spend time with Him, and one way to do that is through prayer. This is why it is written in 1 Thessalonians 5:17 “Pray without ceasing.”
I can admit, this can be hard, especially when you’re going through something difficult but you know what? This is why Jesus says “Take My yoke upon you, for My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” In the midst of the storm it feels like everything is caving in around you. But if you can just say “Jesus help”, if you just “choose” to grab the hem of His garment, He is there just waiting for you to call out to Him.
I once read this from Billy Graham….
Remember the word ACTS. Some people find it helpful to use the letters A-C-T-S to remember how to pray.
A stands for adoration. Tell God you adore and praise Him. Spend time worshiping Him.
C stands for confession. Confess your sins to God and ask Him to forgive you.
T stands for thanksgiving. Thank God for His Son, Jesus, and the blessings in your life.
S stands for supplication. Ask God to supply your needs and the needs of others.
Do you want to strengthen your walk with God? Start spending time with Him in prayer, meditating on His word.
