  2. never comes to an end. They are new every morning.

  3. Great is your faithfulness shall not be loved God richly.

  4. Bless you for being a part of today's morning devotion.

  5. Privilege to facilitating this morning glory devotion, Our Pastern Missus

  6. Brishney from Harvus Chuckled International, the Navy Commercy. Let's kindly

  7. share a word of prayer. Thank you, Heavening Father for today,

  8. thank you for the kits of life. Thank you for

  9. the opportunity to hear your word again. Let this word

  10. dwelled in our hearts and help us meditate on it

  11. day and night. And help us too, as it says

  12. in Jesus me Amen, let us kind of take a

  13. confession from Ju Siu chapter one. There's eat Johur chapter one.

  14. Do's e the spook all the Lord shall not depart

  15. out on my mind, but I shall meditate in it

  16. day and night, that I may observe to do according

  17. to all that is written. Minute for them, I will

  18. make my way persponse, and then I'll have good success

  19. in me I think. For this morning blue devotion, Yes,

  20. have you prayed today? Have you prayed today, and our

  21. scripture reading will be taken from Mark chapter one there's

  22. thirty five, and first Salumius chatter five there's seventeen. Mark

  23. chapter one there's thirty five, and first s Alumnius chatter

  24. five is seventeen. Mark one thirty five. Before they break

  25. the next morning, he just got up and went out

  26. in an isolated place to pray first as Alumnius five

  27. and seventeen never stopped praying. This is the reading of

  28. the word thanks be to grow.

  29. Have You Prayed? Part two? In Part one of Have

  30. You Prayed Today? We established that we live in a

  31. world that worships speed, and in the midst of all

  32. this hurry, there is the temptation to trade our prayer

  33. lives to buy more time to meet up with our expectations. Gradually,

  34. the fire that used to ben in our prayer lives

  35. become nothing more than a heap of ashes. Now more

  36. than ever, God calls us back to the place of prayer,

  37. not just demanding with pray, but also offering to help

  38. us pray. How do we begin the journey back? When

  39. we find ourselves caught in the trap of prayerlessness, the

  40. natural human response is to look for legitimate excuses. We

  41. tell ourselves I am just too tired, work is overwhelming

  42. right now, or I will have more time next week.

  43. But if we want to see a real change, our

  44. first response must be to stop making excuses and gently

  45. look inward. We must evaluate our heart and are born

  46. again experience. Ask yourself the honest questions, Am I still

  47. working in a living relationship with God? It's Jesus still

  48. the true lover of my soul? Or has something else

  49. or someone else taking his rightful place on the throne

  50. of my heart? Prayer it's not a religious duty or

  51. a checklist to satisfy a demanding deity. It is about

  52. cultivating a deep personal intimacy with God. When there is

  53. a spiritual disconnect in a relationship with God, there urgency

  54. to pray simply vanishes. If you don't feel at home

  55. with God, you will not want to spend time talking

  56. to Him. As children of God, we must daily examine

  57. our hearts to ensure we have not wanted away from home.

  58. When we are rightly aligned with Him, prayer ceases to

  59. be a burden. It becomes a genuine delight. The second

  60. vital step we must take is to become diligent students

  61. of the Word of God. Every ranking man of prayer

  62. is an ardent student of the Word. Prayer and the

  63. Word are inseparable. They go hand in hand. To build

  64. a consistent, effective prayer life, you must build a robust

  65. word steady life. You cannot have one without the other.

  66. Think of the Word of God as the wold that

  67. fees the fire of your prayers. Without wood, the fire

  68. goes out. We must make quality an interrupted time for

  69. the scriptures, not merely to gain her knowledge, but with

  70. the goal of knowing God and living out His truth

  71. every day. The Word reveals the perfect will of God

  72. to you, and when you know his will, you can

  73. pray with absolute assurance that He hears and answers you.

  74. More than that, the Word is your weapon. Officials, Chapter six,

  75. verse seventeen tells us to take the sword of the Spirit,

  76. which is the Word of God. When you stand to pray.

  77. It is the scripture in your heart that helps you

  78. push back the darkness and advance in your spiritual battles.

  79. The Lord help us as we take these steps to

  80. revive our prayer. Autist in Jesus name, Amen, It's time

  81. to take our memory. Verse for today and our memory

  82. verse will be taken from Jeremiah chapter twenty ninth, verse

  83. twelve and thirteen. Jereman twenty nine, Verse twelve and thirteen. Danny,

  84. you will call on me and come and pray to me,

  85. and I will listen to you. You will seek me

  86. and find me when you seek me with all your heart. Amen,

  87. let us kindly share a word of prayer. Father, in

  88. the name of Jesus, we thank you for your word

  89. that has come to us this morning. We pray Lord

  90. for the grace to examine our work of faith where

  91. we have fallen off, where we have wandered off. Help

  92. us to come back home. Grant us the grace also

  93. to be students of your word, so that will revive

  94. our broken prayer. Oldest, we give you praise in Jesus'

  95. mighty name. Amen. God, Richly bless you, beloved for being

  96. a part of this morning's devotion. As we take these

  97. steps of faith, the Lord help us to become mighty

  98. men and women of prayer. Shalom and have a blessed

  99. and a fruitful day. Amen.
