Intercessor

Summer 2013 – I am asking the Lord to teach me more about how to pray. God has answered prayer after prayer in our family. Yet, I know there is so much more that the Lord would have me learn and experience in prayer. Part of this journey is learning from others … This week I pulled out the two “Faith Partner” classics below … Do you have a book on prayer that has helped you grow in your prayer life? Lord, I want to learn from You in new ways this summer. Help me to listen to your Holy Spirit and make the things close to your heart the priority of my prayer life. I love you, Jesus, and I sure do appreciate your willingness to teach me.

Preparation …

As I am preparing for the fall, there is a place I love to go. I like to spend time in the Prayer Chapel at Liberty University.   Mike and I have prayed there many times for big things in our lives. And, every year before groups begin … before Bible study … before meeting with all the leaders … I linger in this chapel.  The walls are lined with bricks covered with the names of people who have prayed for the ministry.  This visual reminds me of all that God has done… and all that He can do. It is a time of reflecting and of prayer. A time of asking God to examine my heart to make sure I’m pursuing His vision and not my own. Is there a special place that you like to revisit when preparing for special times ahead in your life?
