A day without prayer is a day without blessing, and a life without prayer is a life without power!

 

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou [art] with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

 ⏤  Psalm 23:4

A day without prayer is a day without blessing, and a life without prayer is a life without power. 

⏤ Leonard Ravenhill

I agree, a day without prayer is a day without blessing, and a life without prayer is a life without power! So so true! So many today, they try to live without God. We see it all around us. So many sin and suffer, there is so much hate, negativity, and misery.  None is needed when we follow God and pray, when we trust in Jesus, and follow Him, reflecting and imitating Him as we live and go about on this Earth School journey! 

The Mornings with God App today said, "O God of Bethel, God of our ancestors, be our God today. Bless us, let Your face shine on us, and be gracious to us. Lift up the light of Your presence on us and give us Your peace. We wouldn’t dare go out into the world today without knowing You’re with us. But You are everywhere. Where could we go that You wouldn’t be there? No matter where we end up today, we will see You watching over us. Nothing can separate us from Your love! No power can pull us out of Your hands! So, even as we leave the safety of our home and go into a world full of dangers, we aren’t afraid because You’re with us wherever we go. We dedicate ourselves to You. You’ve redeemed us, and we belong to You. We recognize Your rightful ownership of us, and we offer ourselves to You freely. Yet, we know how hard it is to truly give ourselves to You because our hearts are constantly pulled away. So, take us, God—because we can’t do it on our own. When temptation comes, shelter us and don’t let us fall. If we face evil, lead us safely through it. Protect us from anything that would dishonor You or harm our lives. We ask for the grace to make this a holy day. Help us do our everyday tasks in a way that pleases You. Save us from laziness, from greed, from neglecting our responsibilities, from bad tempers, and from holding grudges. Help us be patient with everyone, to be forgiving, kind, thoughtful, courteous, loving, and prayerful. Protect us and bring us home safely tonight. We ask all of this in the name of Jesus, our Redeemer. Amen."

What a nice prayer and thoughts! We need God. We need to follow Jesus. We need to love and know we are promised life eternal when we follow our Lord! We need to turn all over to God. He wants us to let Him guide us. He loves us. We need to accept His will be done. That is all part of the new covenant in Jesus Christ that was given to us when He died for our sins, when God sent Jesus, Emmanuel, God with us! Let us do all to please God, to pray for Him, and to love like Him! There is power in Jesus Christ!
