When we get ahold of the truth that the all-powerful sovereign God wants to have relationship with us, it makes us come alive.  It makes our spirits jump.  It makes us want to press into His presence.  When we see Him for who He really is, not what others have told us nor what our hurt and pain have led us to believe, we are overwhelmed, in a good sense of that word.

This week I look at scriptures about God’s heart and then model praying those scriptures for you.  As we pray the Word, it transforms us from the inside out.  It coaches us.  It trains us how to pray other prayers that springboard from the Word of God.  Therefore, I strongly encourage you to watch the video.

The passages we look at today and I model praying in first person are:

  • To know God’s wisdom, revelation, and love:
    • Ephesians 1:17-23; 2:6.
    • Ephesians 3:14-21
  • To give thanks in our circumstances and not be anxious:
    • 4:6-7
    • I Thessalonians 5:16-18

This week, take one of these passages, put it into first person and pray it out.  It may be a little awkward at first but keep going for it.  You will get the hang of it!

About 15 years ago our heavenly Father began encouraging me in my role as His son and out of that in my role as a father, both biologically and spiritually. Through multiple encounters on my journey God has revealed His heart as my Father and affirmed my sonship in Him. Out of this has come His call to fully embrace who He has created me to be as a father and to share that with others.
