"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the Lord.  As the heavers are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.  As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth:  It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.  Isaiah 55:8-10

" O Lord, you have searched me and you know me.  You know when I set and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.  You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways.  Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O Lord.  You hem me in behind and before; you have laid you hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, to lofty for me to attain.  Where can I go from your Spirit?  Where can I flee from your presence?  If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.  If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea; even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.  If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me," even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.  For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.  I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made..."

Psalm 139:1-14

With respect to our prayer night last Tuesday, I decided to include something a little different at the end of this email:

 

Three Practical Guidelines for Powerful Prayer

1.  Be prepared to give God the best time of your day.  Give God your undivided attention.

2.  Purpose to experience a "balanced" prayer life.  The five types of prayer communication are: Praise and Thanksgiving - Adoration and worship of God

Confession - Confession and seeking forgiveness

Petition - Presenting our individual needs and desires

Intercession - Focusing on the needs of others

Meditation - Reflecting on God's word and listening for his voice

3.  Daily ask God to teach you to pray and provide a fresh encounter with him. (Luke 11)
