Walking Dead 2

"Pray continually." 1 Thessalonians 5:17

Last night we continued on in our Walking Dead Series at Pursuit! It was SO good so if you missed it, I'll help you out and catch you up to what you missed!

• Jesus is dying to talk to you, therefore He took the cross for you. 
• You need God, I need God...we can't do life without constant communication with Him and are spiritually dead without it. Always leave the phone off the hook in your communication with God because He wants to always be talking with you, don't hang up on Him! 
• God gave us scripture as His communication to us but prayer is our way of communicating with him and we treat our prayers with God like Aspirin. We use it as a lifeline when we're in pain, hurting, sick, need to feel better! 
• We pray 10 cent prayers expecting a $1,000,000 answers! We throw up a "God help me ace my test" when we didn't glance at the study guide and while that seems lame, we do it with much more trivial things as well! 
• When we delight ourselves in God, His desires for us become our desires for us.
• When we pray, it helps keep us from sinning but when we sin, it helps to keep us from praying.
• The saddest prayers aren't the prayers that go unanswered but the prayers that go unasked.
• Pray & let God worry :)
• The quickest way to get a room to go silent is to ask someone to pray...(adults, too:))

The challenge was this, set your alarm for a certain time each day to go to a certain place and pray. Give God your struggles, though He already knows them, and keep surrendering to His plan for you! Like I said, God already knows your heart and knows what you're dealing with but He wants you to come to Him and communicate with him. It's hard to have a relationship with someone if you just throw up your hand to them in the hallway or tip your hat to them every once in awhile. Pray, continually.

And last but not least, God does not view our prayers like this :)

'Til next time,
