DEVOTE YOURSELVES TO PRAYER WITH AN ALERT MIND AND A THANKFUL...

“Colossians 4:2 (NLT) Communication with God is prayer. It is an intimate conversation between you and the Lord Jesus. It should be an honest expression of your heart's desires and needs. The words you use should be intentional and meaningful. Therefore, true prayer cannot be just for the sake of it. Simply reading out written or memorized content as part of a routine cannot be a genuine emotional expression from the heart. Your communication with God should not be out of compulsion but of gratitude and trust. Are you thankful to God for your life and the blessings? Do you communicate that to Him daily? Telling God about how grateful you are to Him on every occasion will nurture a meaningful connection with Him. It is a healthy habit that keeps you remain connected with your savior. Don't despise that. Prayer: Dear Lord Jesus, please help me be alert and intentional while praying, and let my heart be filled with gratitude for all your blessings. Amen”
