21 Days of Prayer - Day #6 Focus - Prayer Shapes Our Perspective
Seasons of prayer shape us and do in us what God desires.
Prayer shapes our perspective.
Do I pray outward (for revival) or do I pray inwardly.
“It is not the body’s posture but the heart’s attitude when I pray” Billy Graham
1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 (NIV)
23 May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it.
May God Himself do this work. He doesn’t outsource His work. He does this Himself.
Receive God’s peace.
The very essence of who God is, is peace. There’s not a lot of peace in our world.
We are the people of God. We have access to God’s peace. We simply need to receive His peace. He will grant it.
Philippians 4 - The God of peace will be with us.
Rely on God’s Power.
I’m trying to become more Christlike. But I need to rely on His power for Him to form Christ in me. This is a prayer for us to become something.
The enemy tries to shape us by one lie at a time. But when we rely upon God’s power we are strong.
Philippians 4:13; 19
The one who calls us is faithful and He will do it .. therefore I will
Rest in God’s Promise
As we seek Him, our tension is outward or inward, it’s upward. We are seeking God for everything. I am resting in His promises. I am relaxed and confident in Him.
