Prayerfully Re-Center around God
Romans 1:9-10
God, whom I serve in my spirit in preaching the gospel of his Son, is my witness how constantly I remember you in my prayers at all times; and I pray that now at last by God’s will the way may be opened for me to come to you.
~ Apostle Paul
Pondering Point
Paul’s prayer is a good one for us – that we pray for God to open doors for us that we might share His love with others around us. Note that Paul’s life is focused on bringing God’s love to others. Let’s allow that idea to inform our Thursday theme of Prayerfully Re-centering around God.
Review
What is the spirit of your life focused on? Is your spirit focused on serving God? Could you adopt Paul’s approach of bringing God’s love to others? If so (and maybe you already are!), how would adopting such an approach alter the way you live?
Journal Prompt:
The spirit of my life has been focused on:
Repent if Necessary
Repent for letting your spirit get distracted from serving God and bringing His love to others. This is a regular occurrence in the lives of God’s people and calls for constant repenting and returning.
Return (as necessary)
Return to a life of prayer for those God has put in your life, on your heart, and in your path. Start now by praying for God to open doors to share His love with family, friends, enemies, strangers – and co-workers.
