Prayer Must Be

        

 

Prayer is the communion of the regenerated soul with its Divine Parent.

Prayer is God’s own instituted means of obtaining blessings from Him, the Fountain of life.

Prayer must be sincere—we must really be desirous to obtain the blessings we ask.

Prayer must be holy—for if we “regard iniquity in our heart, the Lord will not hear us.”

Prayer must be pious—seeking to obtain blessings, not for our own gratification merely—but for God’s glory. Prayer is a relief and comfort to the troubled soul. Prayer must be importunate—for it is the effectual, fervent prayer of a righteous man, that prevails.

Prayer must be submissive—asking only for what it is God’s will to bestow. Prayer must be in love— love for our Heavenly Father and prayer for our fellow man, whether they be in Jehovahs Divine family or not. Prayer must be reverent—for our God is a consuming fire.

Prayer must be humble—for we are base, and sinful, and unworthy to lift up our eyes to heaven.

Prayer must be persevering—for men ought always to pray, and not to faint.

Prayer must be particular—for generalities mean little or nothing.

Prayer must be universal—entering into everything, all the concerns of life, all the means of grace.

Prayer must be of all kinds—social, domestic, private, spontaneous but never ritualized for that is a stench and insult to our Heavenly Beloved. Prayer must be grateful—abounding in thanksgiving.

Prayer must be expectant—waiting and watching for answers.

Prayer must be believing—we must ask in faith. Prayer must be consistent with the Word of God —we may ask for everything God has promised.

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Immanuel (God is with us) for the ultimate treasure, the Your loving gift of communion with You through prayer. It is a precious jewel that I carry close to me, not just in our morning and evening conversations but those which we share throughout the day. I praise You in the name of He with whom I deeply desire to walk with and talk with every day Jesus Christ, my best friend. Amen

May your house be filled with joy in the morning and sweet dreams at night. May it be a home where love has come to live. Joseph a son of Jehovah

 

True Thanksgiving Means

                    

Be persistent and devoted to prayer, being alert and focused in your prayer life with an attitude of thanksgiving. Colossians 4:2 The Holy Bible Amplified Version

Every morning I begin my day by thanking Jehovah for all he has done for me and through me. Every day throughout the day I praise Him for His blessings great and small. Every evening I thank His for the abundant blessings He has showered upon me throughout the day. Every day I thank His for every opportunity He has blessed me with to serve Him with even greater joy than the thanks given when He blesses me with good.

Try thanking Him every morning as soon as you wake up. Try thanking Him throughout the day for all of His blessings both great and small. Try thanking Him every evening when you go to bed for the blessings He has bestowed upon you throughout the day. Try it for a month and see how your relationship with your Heavenly Father blossoms into an amazing loving relationship which no other can compare.

“True thanksgiving means that we need to thank God for what He has done for us, and not to tell Him what we have done for Him.|” George R. Hendrick

Prayer: Oh my Beloved Jehovah Heseh (God is love) how I am filled with divine love and joy when I sing songs of gratitude unto You my love for all You have done in my life and through my life every day. I thank You in the name of the most treasured gift of all Jesus Christ. Amen.

May Gods sunshine always bless you with brightening your day with His love, joy and peace. Joseph a son of Jehovah

Prayer is a Conversation.

 

He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. Matthew 14:23  New King James Version

 

Having a conversation means listening as well as speaking.

 

Instead of being a Whiney Willie and only calling upon Jehovah when you want something from Him, take time every day to just talk with Him.

 

Begin with thanking Him for all His numerous blessing He has abundantly freely given you.

 

Then ask if there is anything He wants to say to you. Have your Bible ready

 

I know many times after asking there is an impulse to open the Bible and boy does He speak to me. Of course there is no sense in Him speaking to you if you refuse to obey what He is instructing you to either do or stop doing is there? And of course there is apologizing for any wrong you have committed. You can be sure that when you sin, it hurts God very deeply.

 

Prayer is a conversation with Jehovah. Joseph- Anthony: Green                                              

 

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Shammah (God amongst us) for the wonderful privilege of always being available to talk with. I deeply love our conversations. I praise you in the name of He who understands my prayers because He has walked amongst us Jesus Christ. Amen.                                                                                                               

 

May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love bless you today and every day

With Thanksgiving I Present It.

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. Philippians 4:6-7 New International Version

How much of your prayers are filled with gratitude?

I praise the Lord every morning and evening for all His wonderful gifts he abundantly blesses me with every day. Throughout the day I thank Him for His divine gifts.

I have found that to do so most of my day is filled with joy.

When thanking my Beloved at night before bed I have found that I am blessed with the greatest sleep.

 

As well, I find I do not worry about tomorrow because the reminders help me t have faith that the Lord will walk through them with me.

 

Having a heart filled with gratitude blesses me with stability in a chaotic world.  Joseph- Anthony: Green

 

“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity.  It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.  Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.” Melody Beattie                                                          

 

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Emunah (God is faithful ) for blessing me with a grateful heart for all Your amazing faithfulness in my life. I exalt you in the name of he who taught us how to have a grateful life Jesus Christ. Amen.                                                    

 

May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love bless you today and every day

Which do You Give Him?

I will praise the name of God with a song, And will magnify Him with thanksgiving. This also shall please the Lord better than an ox or bull. Psalm 69:30-31 New King James Version

 

 

Do you give Jehovah lip service?                                                                                              

You know, you may like to sing the songs of praise and love and adoration in church or while listening to Christian radio stations but do you sing them to actually praise, adore and love Him or do you do it because it makes you feel good.                                                      

Do you give time and or money to charitable causes because it makes you feels righteous and feels good or do you do it as an act of thanksgiving and gratitude unto our generous Father in Heaven?                                                                                                                      

Just as you do not desire lip service love what makes you believe Jehovah does?                    

The simplest act of love and adoration is of more wealth to Jehovah than all the self righteous and self centered acts in the world combined. No matter how great they appear to the world they are as valuable to Jehovah as a used piece of toilet paper if they do not come from a heart of love. Joseph- Anthony: Green                                                          

Prayer: Oh how I love to do things great and small as an act of love and appreciation unto You my beloved Father for all the magnificent and wonderful blessing You have so generously blessed me with. The most supreme one of course being blessed with the most incredible loving relationship with You. I sing hallelujah to You my love in the name of Your best gift ever to me, my beloved King, Savior and best friend Jesus Christ. Amen                                                    

May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love bless you today and every day.
