For most of us, prayer isn’t a matter of a month-long retreat or even an hour of meditation. It’s a conversation with God while driving to work or waiting for an appointment. God changes people through such moments. https://t.co/e3DXY0jgJ4

We can’t even get the cable company to answer us, yet God will? The doctor’s too busy, but God isn’t? We have our doubts about prayer. But remember Jesus’ jaw-dropping promise: “Ask and it will be given to you.” https://t.co/bvyo3QkqYM

When I pray, I think of a thousand things I need to do. I forget the one thing I set out to do: pray. Can you relate? https://t.co/VnIBuPvbVe

Need a simple way to start praying? Try this: “Father, You are good. I need help. Heal me and forgive me. They need help. Thank you. In Jesus’ name, amen.” https://t.co/dDcMpJrjeR

Talking with God doesn’t have to be complicated or complex. The power isn’t in the words we pray, but in the One who hears them. https://t.co/vMQdBoyKLt

Someday we will be seated, and Christ will christen the meal with these words: “Well done, good and faithful servant.” And in that moment, the race will have been worth it. https://t.co/5G5RPgi0rt

In Luke 15, Jesus tells three stories of something lost and something found. A lost sheep. A lost coin. And a lost son. At the end of each story, Jesus describes a celebration. The point is clear. Jesus is happiest when the lost are found. https://t.co/Y7oyVNvICl

Wouldn’t you love to have a hope-filled heart? God never promises to remove us from our struggles. He does promise, however, to change the way we look at them. https://t.co/yUdtYb4RuJ

Your mind is the doorway to your heart. The Holy Spirit stands with you on the threshold, helping you manage and filter the thoughts that try to enter. https://t.co/eMk9bolmWz

Our assignment is found at the intersection of God’s plan and our pleasures. You are created to serve God in a unique way. https://t.co/9haq3LeCCh

A vibrant, shining face is the mark of one who has stood in God’s presence. After speaking to God, Moses had to cover his face with a veil. But not only does God change the face of those who worship; he changes those who watch us worship. https://t.co/wyTxmDSKWf

“Our faces, then, are not covered.  We all show The Lord’s glory, and we are being changed to be like Him” (2 Corinthians 3:18). God wipes away our tears, softens our furrowed brows and touches our cheeks. He changes our faces as we worship. https://t.co/xxFupMK4I5

Unbroken communion with God is the intent and not the exception.  Within the reach of every Christian is the unending presence of God. https://t.co/CFn5BUKH4J

If you want to be just like Jesus, spend time listening for him. https://t.co/COOlRQ3vuh

When God asks for your attention, he doesn’t want you to send a substitute. He invites you to vacation in his splendor. He invites you to feast at his table. He wants to spend time with you. https://t.co/D0iqDJmDyf

“Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed” (Lk 5:16). Jesus spent regular time with God, praying and listening. If Jesus, the Son of God, the sinless Savior of humankind, thought to clear his calendar to pray, wouldn’t we be wise to do the same? https://t.co/wWmSvalKsc

“A man with a skin disease came to Jesus. The man bowed down before him and said, ‘Lord, you can heal me if you will.’ Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man and said, ‘I will. Be healed!’ And immediately the man was healed.” [Matt 8:2-3] https://t.co/PiVBNcQZYd
