@ CHALLIES: THREE KEYS TO A POWERFUL PRAYER LIFE
MORE @ Zero Hedge
THIS IS A WONDERFUL PRAYER from Tim Keller's daily devotionals from The Songs of Jesus for September 3:
The Gift of Prayer---
LORD, prayerlessness is a sin against you. It comes from a self-sufficiency that is wrong and that dishonors you. Prayerlessness is also a sin against those around me. I should be engaging my heart and your power in their needs. Lord, I pray with all my heart that you would give me a heart for prayer.
Amen
I should not make light of a disaster, but the picture shows what people consider their most important possessions these days. :)
ReplyDeleteYes it certainly does......I try to think what 10 items I would grab in a fire, flood or sudden disaster...and one would certainly be my phone...
ReplyDeleteI can tell you exactly what we grabbed in the 2010 flood (we did not know we would be 4 months getting back into our home): duffle bags with a couple of changes of clothes, one extra pair of shoes each, work clothes for my husband, our wedding album, our grown kids' baby books, the two dogs with their beds, food, and treats, our laptop computer. And of course our phones, my purse, his wallet, both vehicles and the motorcyle. He actually came back to the house as waters were rising to get his work laptop and shoes for work. As I recall, the dogs (living things) and the albums(precious memories) were my first priorities, after ourselves. Funny how the mind works in a crisis!
ReplyDeleteSounds like your mind was razor sharp, Fraydna! I would have picked similar things to your list as well as a huge 135-year old family Bible, though it's quite heavy!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing catastrophe you lived through and are better and blessed as a result.
