THE PRAYER LIFE! #2

-









I need to improve my prayer life.I do
pray and say blessings over my meals.  


However, I should start praying as soon
as my feet hit the floor each morning.
I could also say a prayer before going  to bed at night too. 
I am thankful for God blessing me with a trauma free day.I need let Him know it. My goal is to avoid distractions.I am seeking God’s help in this area.



I looked at the prayer life of some notable people in the Bible. Here  are some scriptures I studied :


   

 
THE PRAYER OF ZACHARIAS 




LUKE 1: 5, 7, & 13-15



5 There was in the days of Herod, the
king of Judea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the division of Abijah.His wife was of the daughters of Aaron,and her name was Elizabeth.



7 But they had no child, because 
Elizabeth was barren, and they 
were both well advanced in years.



13 But the angel said to him, “Do not 
be afraid, Zacharias, for your prayer
is heard; and your wife Elizabeth will 
bear you a son, and you shall call his 
name John.

14 And you will have joy and gladness, 
and many will rejoice at his birth.
15 For he will be great in the sight of
the Lord, and shall drink neither wine 
nor strong drink. He will also be filled 
with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb.

DEPICTION OF JONAH RUNNING AWAY FROM THE LORD I was doing Bible study one night and it became clear to me that, Noah, Moses, Jonah, Deborah, Jael, Lydia, Seller of Purple, Rehab, The Twelve Disciples, and Paul were all CALLED by God. The Lord may require  some people to carry out a special task.There will be others that may be required to minister His Word and  travel around the world as a missionary.      This week I'll share scriptures about different men  and women that were called by the Lord. Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I will share scriptures which discuss that the Lord CALLED a man named Jonah.  He did not want to answer the Lord's call and ran away.  There were consequences to Jonah's actions. The Lord's will did prevail. He did go to Nineveh. JONAH 1: 1-4, 6-9, 12, 15-17 1  Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the

DEPICTION OF RAHAB OF JERICHO I was doing Bible study one night and it became clear to me that, Noah, Moses, Jonah, Deborah, Jael, Lydia, Seller of Purple, Rehab, The Twelve Disciples, and Paul were all CALLED by God. The Lord may require  some people to carry out a special task.There will be others that may be required to minister His Word and  travel around the world as a missionary.   This week I'll share scriptures about different men  and women that were called by the Lord. Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I'll share scriptures which show how  a prostitute named  Rahab was used to help  Joshua's spies. Joshua, son of Nun, became  the ruler for the Israelites after Moses died. The Bible also tells us that the Lord is "not a respecter of persons"and accepts all who will respect him. It can be His will to use a harlot (prostitute)

DEPICTION OF ADAM & EVE WITH THEIR CHILDREN I say thank you to PBS for featuring TV shows  on researching your family tree by Heny Louis Gates, Jr.  The show was called, "Finding Your Roots". I enjoyed this show and and eventually became very good at family tree research. Genealogy was important during Bible days and the Bible book of Genesis gives us several family trees. Today I am showing Adam and Eve’s family tree. GENESIS 2: 18, 22-24 18  And the Lord God said, “ It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him. 22  Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. 23  And Adam said: “This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.” 24  Therefore a man shall leave h
