Heavy Lifting Without Injuries - #5885
Sometimes the heavier the burden, the more we neglect or forget to unload it on the shoulders of our all-powerful Lord. We're so busy trying to fix it, to carry it, to solve it, that we neglect taking it to God. Sometimes when we're hurting or discouraged, we just don't feel like praying. Great! That's exactly when we need to pray the most.

Filled With the Good Stuff - #5791
Obedience isn't just agreeing with what God wants - it's doing it. And until God fills you with the knowledge of His will on this matter, don't move. When He does fill your heart, don't wait. By the way, don't forget that the unfolding of God's will is usually just the next step, not the whole plan. See, that will keep you close to Him day by day, waiting to see the next step.

Avoiding a Fall On Slippery Ground - #5761
Remember, many spiritual falls have one simple cause - carelessness. You have to pay attention where you're stepping. And in Jude 24 you also have an awesome promise of God to claim wherever you are. "He is able to keep you from falling."

Happy Delays - #5747
I couldn't help but reflect on the ways of God over and over in my life. How often He has seemed to be taking forever, delaying the answer I was praying for. But in every situation, without exception, there was always a good reason for what seemed like a delay.

Solitude in the Bible - a Christian perspective
Despite the immense pressures of his ministry, Jesus took time out periodically to find a quiet place to pray. It's a good example for us to follow in our own busy lives.

House of prayer - a Christian perspective

Jesus pray - a Christian perspective
When Jesus prayed he often went off by himself. In these verses from Mark, we see him rising before the day even began and finding a place to be alone in order to pray.
