EMPOWERING LIVES WITH PURPOSE:
The presence of God in our lives on a daily basis is important. Some take for granted that He is, but inviting His presence into things you do gives assurance that He IS with you.
If you know me personally, when I talk on the phone to anyone, I always start with prayer, and I invite God to be part of our conversation. It’s important for many reasons. First and foremost, God knows He is welcome, and I don’t do anything without Him, and second, it allows the other person to be comforted knowing that we won’t go in a direction with a conversation that does not honor God. It protects the conversation from where it shouldn’t go.
We can invite God into any situation at any time during our days, can’t we? We shouldn’t be afraid to hide, right? It’s not that God plays hide and seek with us, but the fact is we may not always be in a place in our lives where God could be right there with us. It may be that we’d be ashamed.
We must live by asking God and inviting Him to be part of our daily lives. You will see Him when you seek Him. He promises He will be found. He will be there.
“Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” (Jeremiah 29:12-13)
The best assurance of protection for me is by inviting God to be part of my EVERYTHING!
“Come near to God, and He will come near to you.” ( James 4:8)
God, I need You.
God, I NEED YOU.
GOD, I NEED YOU!
