Sunday Recap - Not Enough time to Pray?
I’ll admit it. My prayer life is probably the one area of my Christian walk that needs the most work. And yes, learning how to pray and pray consistently is work, but as we learned in The Truth Project last night, the word ‘work’ has been twisted into an ugly thing instead of the privilege that God gave to us.
Pastor Wade encouraged and challenged us to just plain spend time with God, to “trust in Him at all times…pour out your heart before Him, (because) God is a refuge for us.” He encouraged men to realize that we can’t afford to NOT be praying and we have to model it for our families. Good, good stuff.
We sang:
- Psalm 9 (a great lead/echo song right from Scripture)
- Oh Lord, You’re Beautiful (classic Keith Green)
- Sweet Hour of Prayer
- Strong Tower (Furler/Taylor)
The transition to EasyWorship seems to be going well, but we still need to work on getting some bugs out like making sure all the songs are on the default text so that it’s large enough and making sure songs and Scriptures are broken into more manageable screens.
And another fantastic part about yesterday…spending time with my daughter (lots of laughs from peek-a-boo and shoulder rides!) while being able to let my wife rest and catch up on some much needed sleep.
This week, since the Scribit widget in the sidebar has been utilized, we’ll look at different ways to worship God and not just on Sundays.
I enjoy the Sunday review, and not just because you say nice things about my messages (you could also say, “PW preached a klunker this week…”). It’s fun to look back and reflect on a time of worship together. And as simple as it is, Psalm 9 is one of those songs that just works for some reason. Thanks again,
PW
