Have you ever been down and out and nobody seems to be around for you to talk to…THAT’S GOD…he wants you to talk to him.
Have you ever been just sitting there and all of a sudden you feel like doing something nice for someone you care for…THAT’S GOD…he talks to you through the Holy Spirit.
One of my teachers had each one of us bring a clear plastic bag and a sack of potatoes. For every person we’d refuse to forgive in our life, we were told to choose a potato, write on it the name and date, and put it in the plastic bag. Some of our bags, as you can imagine, were quite heavy.
If I knew it would be the last time
That I’d see you fall asleep
I would tuck you in more tightly
And pray the Lord your soul to keep
If I knew it would be the last time
That I see you walk out the door
I would give you a hug and kiss
And call you back for one more
The highest privilege ever afforded to man is the power of prayer.
…then why don’t we pray?
The right to talk to the highest potentate in all the universe…
…then why don’t we pray?
Several years ago a preacher moved to Houston, Texas. Some weeks after he arrived, he had occasion to ride the bus from his home to the downtown area. When he sat down, he discovered that the driver had accidentally given him a quarter too much change.
Every Sunday afternoon, after the morning service at their church, the Pastor and his 11-year-old son would go out into their town and hand out Gospel tracts. This particular Sunday afternoon, as it came time for the Pastor and his son to go to the streets with their tracts, it was very cold outside as well as pouring down rain. The boy bundled up in his warmest and driest clothes and said “Okay Dad, I’m ready.”
Hello God, I called tonight
To talk a little while..
I need a friend who’ll listen
To my anxiety and trial…
You see, I can’t quite make it
Through a day just on my own…
I need your love to guide me,
So I’ll never feel alone.
You may not know me, but I know everything about you…
Psalm 139:1
I know when you sit down and when you rise up…
Psalm 139:2
