Psalms 23:2

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. Psalms 23:2

An Evening Prayer

Hey!
I usually do my morning devotions everyday. But, come to think of it, I should talk more to the Lord and spend more time with Him. It's after all, the only way to grow. So, I will spend more time. Anyways, this is a song that I was humming and singing earlier.
Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults. Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression. Psalms 19:12-13.
An Evening Prayer- by Charles Hutchinson Gabriel

If I have wounded any soul today,
If I have caused one foot to go astray,
If I have walked in my own willful way,
Dear Lord, forgive!

If I have uttered idle words or vain,
If I have turned aside from want or pain,
Lest I myself shall suffer through the strain,
Dear Lord, forgive!

If I have been perverse or hard, or cold,
If I have longed for shelter in Thy fold,
When Thou hast given me some fort to hold,
Dear Lord, forgive!

Forgive the sins I have confessed to Thee;
Forgive the secret sins I do not see;
O guide me, love me and my keeper be,
Dear Lord, Amen.

A Time to Pray

Hey peeps,

It's been a long time since I have posted about anything. School is making me really busy and exams are coming. Well, but through it all, I realise that no matter how busy we are, we still have to spend time with God and put Him first. Read His Word and talk to Him. There is power through prayer.

Are you getting your daily power from prayer???

Has there ever been a slot in the "timetable" that you read your Bible and pray? Do you set aside the time to pray? Nehemiah 1:4-11, 2:4, 4:2-5, 4:8-9, 6:8-9, 13:29, 13:4. There once was a man called Nehemiah who always cast his cares and concerns upon the Lord.



Imagine having 5 minutes to charge your phone of low batt. Will there be enough power to to last the full day? I am pretty sure there is not enough power. Same as Prayer- If we do not spend time in prayer, there will be not enough to last the full day, with all its temptations, obstacles, etc. We will most likely fall as a christian.



Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms. James 5:13

Prayer can save men from sickness, sins, and affliction. A person can accomplish much through effective prayer. I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men. 1 Tim 2:1



Remember that there is power in prayer and prayer is linked to our Heavenly Father. Power excess to prayer is more powerful than the devil himself.  God can do wondrous things through prayer. So, have faith in our eternal Saviour and Lord that He will answer our prayers. God should be in the center of our lives. Hence, the power of prayer must be in our hearts.
