Just Imagine...

Today I want you to use your imagination:

Imagine you're troubled, having problems with your life, and desperately need God's help...so you kneel down before the Lord your God, the Creator of the universe, the Sustainer of all life - and when you bow your head to pray, you are instantly transported to the Throne Room of Heaven!

Startled, yet wise enough not to do or say anything foolish, you remain on your knees before the Lord.

Head bowed, you humbly make your requests, saying something like this:

"My Lord and my God...I ask Your forgiveness for any and all of my sins - against You and You alone have I sinned, Lord, and I NEED Your forgiveness! Wash me, make me white as snow - create in me a pure heart, and renew a right spirit within me!"

Head still bowed, you wait on the Lord. He speaks, not in words alone, but you feel as well hear what He says to you, and you wait on His instructions.......

"Give me Your Grace, Lord, and I will do as You say," you reply, head still bowed.

"But I cannot do this alone, Lord - You must help me, You must go before me, and provide for me. If I do this alone, I'll probably fail," you say sadly.

Every time you pray, you DO enter into the Throne Room of God!
You SHOULD enter His presence humbly...

You DO need forgiveness...

You DO need to listen to Him and His instructions while you're there...or you may find yourself in trials and tribulations you could've easily avoided.

How do you pray? Are you respectful, or just demanding?

Do you accuse the Lord, or do you seek to understand His will for your life?

Listen for the Lord's voice - obey Him, and enjoy His blessings...disobedience will only cause you harm...

And NOBODY wants that!
