Good Morning everyone,
I pray that everyone is having a great morning. During the month of October I have taken a break from my regular duties as adult Sunday School teacher at New Birth Church in Clinton. One sunday this month I was able to preach in another church and the other sundays I enjoyed sitting and listening to the teaching/preaching without having to be prepared myself. It has been a welcome break but I will be ready to go again starting in November. Starting in November I will be teaching a series of lessons called Dynamics of Prayers. If you are interested in getting weekly tidbits of my lesson I will be sending them out via email and my blog. If you decide you don't want to be in my blog, just let me know and my feelings will not be hurt. Thanks everyone and God Bless.
Prayer thought for the day:
The very first thing Jesus taught us to pray was "Our father". Father is a good place to start. I believe this to be the important part of the prayer. If we do not understand and know God as father then the prayer will not be as effective. Prayer is communication with God and no one can commune with God like his children. Understanding that God is our father causes prayer to take on a new meaning. When I enter his presence I have a right to be there. He is anxious to hear from me. He wants to know all about my day, my thoughts, likes and dislikes, etc. It is like a child who comes from school full of ideas, plans, and maybe fears. He will not say yes to all of my plans. He may correct my thinking on a few issues. But if I will listen in prayer as well as speak, it will be the most rewarding conversation I have all day. You may say, "But I don't know how to pray. where do I start". Just start with "Our father" and the rest will be much easier.
God Bless,
Rev. Sullivan Jones
