QUIET TIME AND PRAYER
Jesus loved his PRIVATE TIME
With his Father=he loved
His private time with God
And we should too=We
Should set some private time
ASIDE=every day=
To SPEND with God
The Father and OUR JESUS
“Jesus went up
To the mountain to PRAY=
And he spent
The night IN PRAYER to God” Luke 6:12
Everyone of our relationships
NEED NURTURING=
Every relationship-
Need some special time
For it to THRIVE
NONE more so than our
Relationship with God the Father=
And with Jesus=
FINDING quiet time in prayer
With God
Nothing tells us that
We are more COMFORTABLE
With someone
Than sitting ALONE in
SILENCE with someone=
Than just ENJOYING
The presence of someone=
Enjoying them=for WHO THEY ARE
“He makes me lie
Down in green pastures=
He leads me
Beside QUIET WATERS” Psalm 23;2
“I urge them-
First of all-that petitions-
PRAYERS-intercession-and thanksgiving
Be made for all people--------
For kings-
And all those in authority--------
That we may live peaceful
And QUIET LIVES
In all godliness-and holiness” 1 Timothy 2:1-2
“Rather it should be
That of your inner self=
The unfading beauty
Of a gentle and QUIET SPIRIT
Which is of great worth
In God's sight” 1 Peter 3:4
Nothing makes me
ANY HAPPIER
Than my ALONE TIME
With God the Father
I can just imagine
How happy JESUS WAS
When he was=ALONE=
And by himself
With his FATHER
What special times and moments
That must have been for him=
It might NOT happen
As much as we would like
It seems like something
In life=
Is always crowding us=
PUSHING the boundaries
But when it happens
It is a TRANSFORMING EXPERIENCE
That we never forget
“'I tell you'=Jesus replied=
'If they (his disciples)=keep QUIET=
The stones will cry out'” Luke 19:40
Lord=please help us to FIND
The QUIET TIME=in prayer
To spend with you
Today=and every day OF OUR LIVES
In the name of Jesus=and God=his HOLY FATHER=who is ALWAYS waiting for us
