A simple quiet time with God (Matthew 6:6)

 PrayerCourse at work Thrusday we walk through intercession. I like how simple the course is, prayer is a natural response for us.

Prayer is the humble answer to the inconceivable surprise of living. - Abraham Heschel 

Have a quiet time with God, an appointment you keep: "“Find a quiet, secluded place so you won’t be tempted to role-play before God. Just be there as simply and honestly as you can manage. The focus will shift from you to God, and you will begin to sense his grace.” Matthew 6:6 MSG

How to have a 10 minute quiet time (using P.R.A.Y.)

(1 min) Pause – sit quietly for a minute, stilling your soul.

(2 min) Rejoice – read a short Psalm or listen to a worship song.

(3 min) Ask – Tell God what’s on your heart. Pray through your day. If you have a prayer list or use the 24-7 Prayer Inner Room app quietly name each person before God.

(3 min) Yield – Read a few verses from the New Testament, until a phrase pops out at you and then talk to God about it. Are there any sins you need to confess? Ask the Holy Spirit to fill you afresh.

(1 min) Amen - Pray the Lord’s Prayer
