"But whoever lives the truth comes to the light, so that his works may be clearly seen as done in God. John 3:21
Living a faithful life, is your life a prayer? "And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him." Colossians 3:17 Is your will yours or is it the will of God? If it is God's will then your life is your prayer back to Him because you are dying to self. If you will expose yourself on the cross then nothing is being hidden.
I watched my grandchildren this past weekend and they were a handful. Everything in our house got disrupted and it was a joy to be a part of. My normal practices got disrupted and I literally could not make time to sit still and pray in my usual way. I had a new found appreciation of parenting again and realized there are times in our life that are out of our control. This wasn't my will but God's will for me this past weekend. My prayer was my life back to Him to be the best for His children. In our own lives, your vocation, your job, your actions can be your prayer back to God. You are not living for your own glory but for His. Jesus died on the cross not by His own accord but by His Father's. Jesus's was in constant communication with His Heavenly Father, are you in constant communication or do things of this world get in the way? "Whoever does accept his testimony certifies that God is trustworthy. For the one whom God sent speaks the words of God. He does not ration his gift of the Spirit." John 33-34. Live the life God gives you, listen to Him all the time and do His will not yours. Find time to sit still, a busy life is not an excuse. Die to self.
Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for the times of Joy in my life even if it can be exhausting. I thank You for constantly being in my thoughts. Help me die to self today remove those times I feel I am under attack. Help me live the truth you have layed our for me, do not ration Your Holy Spirit in our lives and help us proclaim the truth in a world that desires truth. I ask this in Jesu name, Amen.
Mary, Queen of Peace, pray for us.
