Six Principles to Live By

"And after He had sent the multitudes away, He went up to the mountain by Himself to pray; and when it was evening, He was there alone." - Matt. 14:23

We all want to grow in Christ - I do, and I believe you do, too. Over the next few days I will be sharing 6 principles that, when applied to your life, will help you to do just that.

Today, I want to share the first principle we must apply to our lives:
NEVER neglect daily....private prayer. There is corporate prayer. There is public prayer. There is family prayer. But, there must always be private prayer. A time where you get alone with God and let Him speak to your heart and soul.

Prayer is what plugs you into the Power Source. It amazes me how many people think they can get by without it. Let me ask you this question: If Jesus needed to be alone with the Father, then how much more do we? The Father longs to be alone with you, to spend time with you, and to speak to you. And when you pray, remember that God is present, and that He hears your prayers.

Hebrews 11:6 says, "and without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a reward-er of those who seek Him."

The purpose of prayer is not to change the mind of God, but to find the mind of God. It's not for you to change God's mind, but for Him to change yours! Don't miss the opportunity, everyday, to spend time with the Father in a quiet place.
