Beloved,
We are in a season of prayer. 30 days of prayer, where we pause every Wednesday at 12pm, to take part in corporate prayer. In this time, we are asking God for the strength to "say yes". We are praying collectively for God to help us accept God's will in our lives. We are moving from telling God a list of our desires, and instead being open to hearing from God what he wants us to do.
I invite you to join us in prayer, every Wednesday at 12pm. Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, take a few moments and pause and simply pray "God not my will but please le your will be done in my life". Click here to set up a reminder for 12pm Prayer this Wednesday.
I often talk to people about all the things they want God to do for them. We want new houses, new cars, healing from sickness, deliverance from drugs and alcohol. However, in this season of prayer, I dare you to stop telling God your list! Instead as you pray, learn to Listen. Don't say anything at all. Some of the most impactful prayers in my life happened when I said NOTHING. I want to you to learn how to listen to God. So instead of telling everybody what you want God to do for you, you will begin to learn what God wants you to do for him. WHAT IS GOD SAYING TO YOU?
We all have those friends, who spend the whole conversation talking about themselves, and never ask you any questions about your own life. Lets not be that type of friend to God!
At the end of these 30 days, I am going to ask you: what are you hearing from God? What is God revealing to you? So as you pray this week, dont feel the normal pressure to talk a lot. Instead, close your eyes, breathe deeply, say nothing and listen to God speak to you.
Peace,
Rev. Nicholas Richards
