A Weekday Paragraph is a short scripture and a short paragraph (or two or three . . .LOL) of how it applies to my life. This is written by a Christian who is growing in her relationship with Jesus, for other growing Christians. Please be encouraged, challenged or both . . . and feel free to comment or reply.
1 Thessalonians 5:17 Pray constantly.
God wants me to talk to Him! He is willing to listen. Even my husband does not always want to hear what I have to say, but Jesus is always there to listen.
I am thankful for the prayers of fellow Christians — they have encouraged me much. I am also thankful for the ability and opportunity to pray for others.
I am also thankful for corporate prayer meetings — I met my husband at one! It is a wonderful experience when a group of people flow together and hear God. It is wonderful to know His will and pray it back to Him.
I’d also like to share a recent favorite quote on prayer: “don’t prayer until God hears, pray until you listen to God”. I love the fact that prayer is a two-way street. It is a huge building block to a deep relationship with God.
