Praying with Purpose

Praying with purpose is simply talking with (and listening to) God. It’s one way we communicate with Him. God speaks to us primarily through His Word (the Bible). But He also speaks to us through the Holy Spirit as we pray. Prayer is more than a conversation! It’s one way that we get to participate in God’s work in our world.

While reading our Bibles, the Holy Spirit may reveal something in our lives that requires change. We pause to talk to God about it, yielding our will to His.

We might begin praying for a family member who is studying for final exams. But God knows they need strength to withstand temptation. So the Holy Spirit prompts us to pray in that realm.

Maybe a sister is struggling at her place of employment. You pray for her to have peace amid the turmoil there. Then the Holy Spirit prompts you to pray that she would be a light in the darkness.

This is praying with purpose, and these posts will encourage you to expand your prayer life and its effectiveness.

Craving the Quiet

Quiet. In a world of crazy, that's what I crave. This week I had some friends over to work on Homecoming mums. (Yes, it's that time in Texas!) We got to talking about music, and one friend (who is on our church's worship team) told me she loves to drive in silence. One of her kids asked why she ...

Pray WITHOUT Ceasing

"Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus," (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18). I'm just about ready to move off of the "grumbling" topic for write31days and move on to others. But since I mentioned this verse in Day 1, it seems ...

Lord, Change My Mind

I love my mom.  I love her relationship with the Lord.  I was going through some old notes and found one she wrote to me a few years ago when I was going through a difficult time. It is especially meaningful now. I'm posting it here. I love Proverbs 16: 1-3 in the Amplified. The rendering is so ...

PSALM 15 IS SHORT, YET JAM-PACKED WITH GOODNESS.⁠ ⁠⁠ Tough goodness, but goodness all the same. I had to include all of it in my images. Scroll through the pages so you don't miss any of it.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ When I journaled through this Psalm, I was knee-deep in the edits for my Bible study, STANDING FIRM IN CHRIST: Biblical Principles for Fighting Spiritual Battles. Edits from my awesome editor and edits from my sweet friends who wanted this Bible study to be its best.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Let me tell you, allowing trusted friends inside your writing world is scary! It's a good thing, but it can also sting. As I read through the psalmist's words, God brought a principle to my mind. You know the one--what's in our hearts shows up in our words (and even our thoughts!!).⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Psalm 15, explains that the *blameless person* enjoys a close relationship with God, and describes this person in detail. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ This person SPEAKS TRUTH FROM THE HEART. In other words, it's not just the words this person speaks, but the response to difficult words! I wrote the following in my journal:⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ "A blameless person's speech is wholesome. She doesn't just not curse--she encourages. AND she accepts criticism without being critical."⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Wow. That can be hard to do. Receiving edits can be a challenge.

OUR THOUGHTS OF GOD ARE NOT GREAT ENOUGH. -- J. I. Packer⁠ ⁠ The Scripture focus for Chapter 3 of ENJOYING INTIMACY WITH GOD, is Isaiah 40, which holds many favorite passages, including:⁠ ⁠ "But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." (Isaiah 40:31, NIV)⁠ ⁠ Isaiah 40 is lengthy, but oh, so beautiful. It was written to encourage Israel after her discipline (captivity in Babylon) was completed. God wanted them to know that He was fully worthy of their trust. ⁠ ⁠ It is an interesting contrast. It describes man’s utter weakness—and God’s transcendence. But this God who is so other than anything we know, LOVES **US**.

Yesterday marked 30 years of loving this man! According to tradition, the 30th anniversary is the Pearl Anniversary. I don’t know exactly why, but I surmise it’s because of how a pearl is formed inside an oyster. A grain of sand, or some other irritant, finds its way inside. The oyster produces a substance that coats the irritant, eventually forming a pearl. Irritants are plentiful in marriage. Tim & I have certainly had more than a few. Some of our own making, some we didn’t ask for. But God has been gracious and merciful to us. He has taught us how to love each other through them. He has taught us how to forgive when the irritant is something one of us did to cause the other pain. We are still learning. You could say love and forgiveness have formed in our marriage a string of pearls. There is no one else I’d rather walk this life with. Tim is God’s precious gift to me. I love you, Sweetheart. 💞 What have you found that makes a difference in your marriage? That keeps you connected to your spouse? 💞 #diannethorntontx #PearlAnniversary #Married30Years #30thWeddingAnniversary #MarriageRocks #BlessedMarriage #GodAtTheCenter #GodCenteredMarriage #LoveCoversAMultitudeOfSins #LoveAndForgiveness
