Christian Reflection and Prayer

Scripture:

"For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ. It is the power of
God at work, saving everyone who believes-- Jews first and also Gentiles."
(Romans 1:16) NLT

Reflection:

Well I don't know about you but I'm sure not ashamed of the Good News of
Jesus Christ. What a Gospel, a Gospel of faith and love, there is nothing there
to be ashamed of. What is key to me is that the Good News is the power of
God at work. What is really great is that, that power is at work in me right now!
I really feel that power at work in my very soul, saving me from a life of sin, and
ultimately death and giving me eternal life. That's right I'm going to live forever
because I am saved by the power of Jesus Christ. And you can be saved too,
all you have to do is believe, and that power can be yours, right now! Believe Christ
died on the cross for your sins, was ressurrected so you can live forever. He could
do this because Jesus Christ was God's own Son, Christ had this power and
through the Holy Spirit He gives it to you. Do you believe this? It is my very
prayer that you do, because you will share with me and other brothers and sisters,
a power that is unmatched in all of the universe. A power given to us by Jesus
Christ. ACCEPT THAT POWER, ENJOY THAT POWER, LIVE IN THAT POWER!!!

Prayer:

Lord thank You for Your power. The power of Jesus Christ, the power of the
Holy Spirit. I love You, accept You, come into my heart Lord Jesus, come
into my life today. THANK YOU GOD FOR BEING GOD

Scripture:

"8.Let me say first of all that your faith in God is becoming known throughout the world. How I thank God through Jesus Christ for each one of you. 9.God knows how often I pray for you. Day and night I bring you and your needs in to God, whom I serve with all my heart by telling others the Good News about His Son. 10.One of the things I always pray for is the opportunity, God willing to come at last to see you. 11.For I long to visit you so I can share a spiritual
blessing with you that will help you grow strong in the Lord. 12.I'm eager to encourage you in your faith, but I also want to be encouraged by yours. I this way each of us will be a blessing to the other". (Romans 1:8-12) NLT

Reflection:

Do you ever ask questions about how to pray to God. I know I do. I think this is important in my daily living. How do I approach God, What do I say to God, Is there a right way to pray? (etc.). In this passage The Apostle Paul gives us a formula to remember in praying to our Savior. If I may I thought I would pass it along, in hopes it will help you. Vs.8= Prayer should always include thanksgiving. Vs.8= Pray through Jesus Christ. Vs.9= Prayer should be constant. Vs.9= Prayer should be genuine. Vs.9= Prayer should involve intercession. Vs.10= Prayer should be specific. Vs.10= Prayer should be submissive. Vss.11-12= Prayer should be rightly motivated.

Prayer: Father thank you for your Son Jesus Christ, thank you for His love and grace in my life. This is my constant prayer, that you will be with all my friends and all the lost who are in need. I honesty believe that your power is forever in my life and that your power and grace is available to all who believe.
I give my life to you, and I open my heart to your spirit. THANK YOU GOD FOR BEING GOD! IN JESUS NAME AMEN
