God’s ultimate goal for us is to be conformed to the image of His Son. But even for prosperity, we can say: Psalm 37:4 Delight yourself in the LORD; And He will give you the desires of your heart. 3 John 1:2 Beloved, I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers.

As prayer warriors, much of our time is spent in silent, tearful, heart-wrenching conversation with our God, for loved ones or tragic circumstances for which our only hope, is the love of Jesus and the answers from God. We are long in isolation with our prayers, and because our flesh is weak, we wonder if our tears, words, and love of the brethren will be remembered. In Matthew 26 we read of a certain woman man and a certain woman who are unknown to us. But the only one who matters hears answers...

Moses calls us to know the word of God is not an idle word for us. Our Savior bids us build our lives on the foundation of His every word. Hebrews tells us we are “open and laid bare with the eyes of Him with whom we have to do,” through His word. Our prayers then, but also be built on the word of God. We will see the basics of this truth in part one of Why a Biblical Prayer life?

Psalm 13-14 I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living. 14 Wait for the LORD; Be strong, and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the LORD. Not much more I could say than that…However, I did anyway. Even if we hate suspense, we wait on the Lord, for He is good, and our needs are many.

Memories occupy our hearts with the goodness and love of God. Somehow, that was news to me. Ecclesiastes 5:19-20 19 Furthermore, as for every man to whom God has given riches and wealth, He has also empowered him to eat from them and to receive his reward and rejoice in his labor; this is the gift of God. For he will not often consider the years of his life, because God keeps him occupied with the gladness of his heart. All our scripture quotes are taken from the NASB 1977 addition. freerangepra...

Jesus makes it pretty plain in John 11:41b-42 "And Jesus raised His eyes, and said, “Father, I thank Thee that Thou heardest Me. 42“And I knew that Thou hearest Me always; but because of the people standing around I said it, that they may believe that Thou didst send Me." He did not pray out loud to make sure God heard Him. It was for His disciples and us that He displayed such a robust prayer life. He is our model of consistent communion with God the Father. Keep your resolution and pray!!! All...

If the prayers of a righteous man can accomplish much, how effective are the prayers, the constant, the ever constant prayers of Jesus our Savior? Hebrews 7 25 Hence, also, He is able to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.

Our prayers will be transformed as we learn of God and His word. As we move from our fleshly life-selfish and physical-into conformity to the image of our Savior-selfless and spiritual-our prayers will conform to His concerns as well. Growth in prayer helps take the pressure off and allows it to grow naturally as God wills for us Psalm 5 1 Give ear to my words, O LORD, Consider my groaning. 2 Heed the sound of my cry for help, my King and my God, For to Thee do I pray. 3 In the morning, O LORD, ...

Jesus was the quintessential teacher. Like your favorite teacher, Jesus modeled prayer every day in front of His disciples. He taught prayer and how to pray, and He also exhorted His disciples to pray. Pray Pray Pray, prayer is essential for daily Christian living and the intense events in our lives. We are greatly encouraged to pray by our Savior's example. For access to the Voice Over services of Richard Durrington, please visit RichardDurrington.com or email him at Durringtonr@gmail.com.

Holy God, help us see the critical truth You showed us; the critical importance of communion with Thee, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ our Savior! We bless Thee and submit to Thee in humility, for creating and redeeming us for Thy glory. Psalm 66: 16 Come and hear, all who fear God, And I will tell of what He has done for my soul. My life is so blessed and my relationship with God is so soul-satisfying that when I ponder any child of God who may be missing out on a vital prayer life,...

Mid week inspiration to prayer. We find first our energy in giving Jesus the Christ a few minutes. Once done, we are able to enter whatever else in this life which motivates us, but we can give him the first fruits of our rest, breath out into the goodness of God.

Some looking to diminish the impact of the Gospel of God, reinterpret what they read in the Bible to make it "palatable." A few have even gone so far as to assume Jesus did not mean everything He said, and in fact, they believe He shaped His message to accommodate Himself to His listeners, even though He did not share in their beliefs. Did Jesus beguile His listeners by telling them just what they wanted to hear? When you carefully read your Bible, perhaps not. For access to the Voice Over servi...

When the Bible says God causes all things to work together for our good… it includes our past, present, and future. Meditate on all God’s goodness including the fact that He redeems all our lives, and our trust is in Him, and His never changing Character. Amen. Ephesians 3:20-21 Now to Him who is able to do exceeding abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever.

Our ultimate reason/result for prayer is the glory of God. The Christian life does not make sense. Our lives in Christ will confuse and confound us until we give Almighty God His rightful place in our lives, and learn what it means, that He, Jesus the Christ increases while we decrease, and that we are committed to His glory through His will.. Then we will know more and more the peaceful fruit of righteousness, and all the other blessings from God will flow to us and His graces through us becaus...

Our hope, our peace, our motivation flow from the faithfulness of God our Savior, Jesus Christ. A brief reminder: Faithful is He who called you, and He also will bring it to pass.

There is a reason, a godly reason, no matter what your circumstance is, you are not completely content. In fact, as Christians, we will never be completely content in the life we now live. We are not at home. By God’s grace, we have been fitted for our citizenship in heaven. So we call out to have our eyes opened to that which will strengthen our soul.

Merry Christmas Never doubt the truth. The Holy God of the universe sent His only Son, so we will be reconciled to Him.

The attributes of God combined mean He is wholly trustworthy. He can do all He has promised, because of who He is. Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And do not lean on your understanding. 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight.

As ambassadors, we are equipped, not to walk in the full authority of our Master, but to walk in the same manner.
