Morning Line: Quality not Quantity
“But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen [do]….” Matthew 6:7
Some of the most effective prayers are the shortest prayers. Jesus said, “Peace, be still,” and the wind and the waves ceased (Mark. 4:39). He said, “Lazarus, come forth,” and Lazarus came back from the dead (John. 11:43-44)
Today, there is a new emphasis on the quantity of prayer instead of the quality of prayer. Jesus never advocated long prayers, and there are only a few instances where Jesus prayed long prayers. This is not to say that communion with God is not important. It certainly is, but formal prayer is only one part of our communion with Father God, Christ Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.
Psalm 5:1-2 uses the words “prayer” and “meditation” interchangeably. Therefore, communing with God through keeping your mind stayed on the things of the Lord is also prayer. There are also times in prayer when we need to be still and know that God is God (Psalm 46:10)
Many times we ask the Lord to speak to us, but He can’t get a word in “edge-wise.” We’re doing all the talking.
Learn to shut up
and be still.
Take a slower gate today and let the Holy Spirit illuminate your mind, heart, and spirit, completely rejuvenating you.
Peace be with you. I am praying for your good health and well-being.
Jehovah God, Jesus Christ, Holy Spirit, is your assurance, your sure unshakable foundation.
You are chosen for this space and time in God’s timeline, to make a difference. prepare your heart, mind, and spirit. Take on your Armor of God and be ready.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart… In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6
You matter. Your story matters. Live expectantly!
Trust God, Trust His Love, Trust His “Word”, Trust the Process!
