Blessed Morning Gems!!!
I hope you're Sunday is going great. I'm still on the bus, five hours away from NY so my Sunday will be crazy to rush home and prepare for church. I would stay home and sleep, but after a great experience I'll make sure I get to church today.
Yesterday we started diving into the well known, quoted and loved Lord's Prayer. We broke down verse nine and today we are going to go into verse ten.
Journaling Prompt
Please be as true to yourself as possible when answering the prompt to get the most out of this challenge.
Today's scripture comes from Matthew 6:10:
Spend 3-7 minutes journaling your thoughts, feelings and emotions. Use the prompt.
Verbal Prayer
Take 3 minutes and verbally speak your written prayer. Pray out loud so that He can hear your voice. If your prayer is short, try to add to it. Use the scripture to pray today.
Listen
Sit quietly in a position that will not make you tired and wait on God. You may feel His presence, you may hear from Him. If you do, write down what He says or what you're feeling. Give yourself at least 2 minutes of pure silence to be able to hear from and feel God. This is a conversation, not a rant. Allow Him the opportunity to speak to you after you've spoken to Him.
Let's end in prayer...

When we pray to God need to have passion in our prayers for the things of His heart and not of our own. The verse says "Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven."
We need to pray for the things that will bring His kingdom and His will to earth. We need to pray for His power to come to earth. We need to pray for things to go according to His plan and not our own. His kingdom and His will should always have top priority in our prayer lives.
Don't focus on promoting your wants and will. Focus on putting God's first. Jesus wanted us to pray with the desire that the will of God would be done on earth as it is in heaven. We need to pray for peace, obedience, long-suffering, love, joy and those things that exist in heaven but seem to be missing on earth.
Praying God's will requires that we are obedient, submissive and sincere. His will is always and forever greater than our own will.
Take time to pray His will more often.

How often do you pray the will of God in your life? In the lives of others? For your country? For the world?Scripture

Heavenly Father, this morning we come praying Your mighty will. We pray that the earth is filled with Your love and peace. That those who don't know You are able to find You. That hate would flee and that disobedience would not be an issue. May every heart on this earth learn to be obedient and serve with a heart of compassion. We pray Your will be done on the earth just as it is in heaven. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
