iPray

Soul_care_sm3. iPray

Here are three great prayers from N.T. Wright's book Simply Christian.

You can pray these simple prayers repeatedly throughout the day as a means to keep God at the center of your seeking.



p. 168
1. “Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God, have mercy on me, a sinner.”

2. “Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, set up your kingdom in our midst”

3. “Holy Spirit, breath of the living God, renew me and all the world.”

I love this - simplicity. I remember when Roddy Choing spoke a few years ago (not the recent time), and he said that he prayed a simple prayer throughout the day beginning when he first awoke for the day, and then throughout the day. Something like, "Lord, I'm yours." Thanks for the post and reminder.

Perspective Why the desert? The Desert allows us to experience the following – so we can deal with the following: 4. Perspective so we can find Purpose: “Whom have I in heaven but you? I desire you more than anything on earth. My health may fail and my spirit may grow weak, but God remains the strength of my heart; he is mine forever.” Psalm 73:25-26 (NLT) (This chapter Psalm 73 will be key text in the message on the November 30/December 2 weekend) Our time in the desert may not give us all the answers but it can shape our perspective so we can find purpose. Sometimes that purpose may be simply that God is allowing something to take place in our life that will bear fruit in the future. “We live by faith and not by sight.” II Corinthians 5:7 (NIV). Sometimes the purpose for the desert is to strengthen us. Take for example Jesus ... “Then Jesus was led out into the wilderness by the Holy Spirit to be tempted by the Devil.” Matthew 4:1 (NLT) The end result for Jesus was that He did not give into the temptations of this world that were presented to Him, but instead chose to honor the Father and staying true to His ultimate purpose the redemption of the world through His death and resurrection.

Scripture Saturation I am more than three months into my Scriptural Saturation practice of reading Romans 12 daily. I am continually gaining great insight from this daily reading. The key verse that prompted me to participate in this practice is a part of Romans 12:8 that says "he who leads, with diligence" Here is a few ways that I have been challenged and encouraged to "lead with diligence"... Disciplining myself to self-lead well. This means putting into my calendar as a scheduled events times to read, listen to a podcasts, read blogs and spend time with spiritual mentors. Leading through the mundane. Taking time to make sure routine tasks are being done with excellence not just going through the motions -- here are some examples -- weekly meetings, follow-up phone calls, thanks you letters and responding to e-mail. Stop putting off difficult decisions and conversations.
