I have a family member (Joanne) who has struggled the last several years with Parkinson's disease along with Alzheimer's disease. She believes in the power of prayer and together with her husband (Dave) has a sense that God will completely heal her. Please pray for perseverance and comfort for them along with the wisdom, discernment and grace to accept whatever it is God has planned for them. Thank you in advance for your prayers for them.

Another one of the languages that we experience and express love through, is by spending quality time with one another. When we love someone we want to be with them as much as possible. A long phone call, a weekend away, anything just to be alone together.

And God is the same, with us. God is the parent with the perpetual open door, hoping we’ll come for lunch or dinner, that we’ll spend a leisurely afternoon. He has nowhere else to go, nowhere else he’d rather be. He has all the time in the world for you.

So we’re going to carve out some quiet space for that right now, for you to just be with God. To spend quality time in personal prayer with the one who loves you most.

Start by thanking God for loving you, maybe for specific ways you’ve experienced that. And then just tell God what’s on your mind these days. And finally, leave space in the silence, to “hear” God back, and sense his presence.

Cell Phone Prayer

We want to experiment right now with a simple prayer exercise -- a chance to share some honest and personal thoughts with God about what’s going on in our lives. To help us do this, if you own a cell phone, you’ll want to grab that right now...
