I love this part of your prayer life, “This has been the prayer of my heart lately. Asking God with open hands to empty me of myself. Then I sit quietly before Him, so I can hear His whispers to my soul.” I want to incorporate that into my prayer life.

I find writing out my prayers helps me to let it flow. I title it, Dear God.
I would like to incorporate a verse and a little bit more time to it. I love spending time with God, but I tend to push it aside too many mornings for later.

First thing in the morning starts my day our right.

Love this, Jamie! Lately, I’ve found myself drifting in prayer to more problems than praise. Praying His names and attributes is a great way to remember the One in me is greater than the problems surrounding me. Great post!!

Dear Jaime,
It’s always so good to be encouraged to pray! I have found such sweet and unexpected blessings as I have prayed for and with other people. Heart-to-heart before the throne of grace is such a sweet place to be with a sister in the Lord. Thanks for these great thoughts today. I especially loved this: “The amazing thing is, He is not short on words to inspire my heart. I can offer you very little but He can offer you His heart.” He really does see that desire in our hearts to pray, and He is so good to teach us!

I love praying Scripture for myself and others. I’ve had the privilege of praying Scripture with my husband over several of the key leaders in our church. Each time we did that it truly did make the experience “sweet” as you’ve said, Jaime! Thanks for sharing this and I’ll be pinning to my prayer board!

In reply to Meghan Weyerbacher. I am right here with you, friend. These dark and gloomy days have seemed to drag on and they begin to drag us down. I don't think it was any mistake that the sun that so much of us crave and need by this time of year it is called the sun. What we need so much of is is the SON, Jesus Christ. As these seasons change we are reminded how much we need His presence. The light to guide our day is the SUN and the SON! So glad you are joining us in the conversation today, Meghan. I look forward to hearing how a little more SONSHINE lifts your spirits.

In reply to Michele Morin. Such a great thought, Michele. I want to meet God's faithfulness with faithfulness. He is truly my lifeline. I need to be talking to Him or I don't know how I would get through my day sometimes. I find myself going through something and I am glad He quickly brings to my attention, you haven't talked to me about this. In His goodness, that He would even want to talk to little ol me even blows me away. Thank you so much for joining us here, friend!

In reply to SUSAN. I really need this. I know we all need it so I thought we would take this one together. I need these reminders regularly. What does God's Word say about talking to Him and how do I change what I am doing. It was so refreshing for me to look up these verses and revisit what God is calling me to do. Thanks so much for joining us, Susan.

In reply to Liz. I find this to be the most natural way for me. He is always there and I am in constant need of Him. I find myself giving Him praise for something going on even when it is little or surrendering my pride when I have gotten in front of myself or repenting when I have said a harsh word at one of my children. I tried to live for so long without Him and it so didn't work I have found Him to be the only way. Thanks for joining us, Liz!
