It was a really peaceful and lovely day yesterday. I got up early in the morning, prayed to the Lord for His renewal in me then went off to church. The weather was beautiful and as I looked out of the window from church, I could see the sun shinning and giving us warmth. Such is the greatness of God.
I returned home after the service and instead of simply watching videos, I started to read. I wanted to finish the Screwtape Letter, which I did. And I started picking up on other books to read. I picked up Jonathan Aitkin's book about Prayers for People under Pressure. And I leared about ACTS - Adoration/ Confession/ Thanksgiving/ Supplication. What a great way to pray! I remember asking that questions just a few days ago about why do I pray? I suppose the simplest answer is so I can communicate directly to God. So I can tell Him how much I love Him and how thankful I am of His love and everything that He has done for me. So I can confess to Him my sin and all my flaws and ask for His forgivenss and guidance. Then ultimately pray to Him for His mighty and loving Hands to work in our lifes and meet our needs.
Things are starting to clear up for me and my heart is slowly returning to peace. I just know that whenever I am weary, the Lord will give me rest!
