Make Time

It is the beginning of a new day and it is early in the morning. For me this is a wonderful and sacred time. I have realized through the years that I have a choice as a Christian to set the tone for my day by starting it off with prayer. When I do not start with prayer the day seems to overcome me at times.

You might think that you do not have the time to start your day off with prayer, but I believe that you do. A few weeks ago Sarah started going back to school which meant that our morning routine changed. I had the new responsibility of taking Dylan to the sitters. Because of the shift with our schedule I have to get up much earlier to make sure that I get in my morning run. Doing this made me realize how all of us will rearrange our schedules so that they always fit certain aspects of our lives that define who we are.

Every one of us in our Church should want to be defined as a people of prayer. This Church needs your prayers. Your family needs your prayers. You need your prayers. No matter what your routine is right now I want you to consider starting your day off with at least 5-10 minutes of prayer every morning. This should not be the only time you pray, but let it become a time of praise for what God has done for you and a time to lift up the needs of your day. Try this for the rest of the summer season and I believe that you will find that you will always make the time to begin the day with prayer.

Time To Grow

This blog page is for my brothers and sisters in Christ. This is a tool for the First Christian church of Neoga and anyone else who has the desire to grow in greater ways through prayer. We need to listen to each other and our struggles in this area more intently. Only prayer can take us where we need to be with God and only through experience in this area can we grow closer to Him and to each other.

This web page can serve as a place to share prayer stories, articles, scripture, and requests. The main focus of this page is prayer in the Christian life. My hope is that First Christian will use this page to grow in ways that they have not imagined before. I will be offering some articles in the coming weeks for everyone to read and comment on concerning select passages in the New testament that deals with prayer. I look forward to posting and to reading what others will contribute. God Bless.
