Continuous Communication

It is a beautiful late summer Saturday. I am having my first cup of coffee as I sway in my swing and experience the peace of the morning. Some crickets are chirping and a gentle breeze is moving through the trees. The corn field across the road from our home is high and almost ready to be harvested. I have a view of a Church Steeple in the distance and a chipmunk near by in the grass. God is everywhere. I feel His presence as I talk to Him and quietly sing songs of praise. I sing, “In my life Lord, Be Glorified, Be Glorified, Be Glorified Today”. I also ask Him to Be Glorified in the lives of my family as I lift them up in prayer and whisper each name. He hears me and He honors my prayers. Then I sing “Father, I adore Thee, lift my life before Thee, how I love You. Jesus, I adore Thee, lift my life before Thee, how I love You. Spirit, I adore Thee, lift my life before Thee, how I love You”. God inhabits the Praise of His People! (Psalm 22:3)

As I come to Him in prayer, I ask Him to Bless me, Keep me, Fill me, Teach me, and Use me. “Live in me Lord today”.

I come to you this morning and lift up my prayer,
Bless me Oh Father, today and always,
Keep me Oh Jesus, forever in your arms,
Fill me Oh Spirit, that I might feel your power,
Teach me Oh Lord, so my faith can grow strong.
Use me Oh God, in somebody’s life today,
May someone who is searching be able to see You, in me;
I want to walk closer to You.

I Thank You Lord for hearing my prayer.
Now help me Dear Lord, to be still.
I want to hear what You have to say.
My prayer isn’t formal, it is just conversation.
I know that you care about the little things and the big things in my life.
You tell me to “pray without ceasing” (1Thessalonians 5:17).
Lord, you and I are in continuous communication;
I can always find You where I am. (Matthew 28:20)

As I love, learn, and listen to your Word,
I hide it in my heart.
This You have asked me to do (Psalm 119:11).
I hear you speak to me throughout my day.
Your Word, hidden in my heart, speaks to my mind, and You answer my prayers.
Lord, show me Your Way, so I might live as You say.
