I need to spend time with God even when I do not know what to pray. – Andrew Murray
When we don’t know what to pray or how to pray, the best thing to do is to go to God with it. Have a chat. He’ll figure it out…
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Matthew 6:24 KJV biblegateway.com
How’s that for calibrating? We first world folks have the greatest danger of serving and trusting in mammon. (Mammon means “wealth, assets” according to the Strong’s Concordance.)
Now is a good time to search our hearts in prayer. Where ever there is a stronghold of trusting in the wrong thing and serving that wrong thing, we can re-calibrate by going to God with it, repenting, and asking His help.
Do you ever spend a few minutes and just think about God?
You know, the way you might think about your favorite loved ones or friends…
Here’s a sweet, old poem by Fredrick W. Faber:
Only to sit and think of God,
Oh, what a joy it is!
To think the thought, to breathe the Name
Earth has no higher bliss.
(from A. W. Tozer’s Knowledge of the Holy)
Exercise: Give it a few minutes. Think about God, his name, who he is, what he is like…
