BE PERSONAL

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: BE PERSONAL

... CONTINUE FROM YESTERDAY...
THIS IS THE CONCLUDING PART OF OUR MEAL TITLED: THREE KEYS TO ANSWERED PRAYER.

The third of our point most important key to effective prayer is a personal relationship with our Heavenly Father. The man in the parable went to his friend when he needed help.

Two men in the Bible who are known for their great faith are Abraham and Moses. Both men enjoyed an intimate friendship with God. James 2:23 says of Abraham, "...he was called the friend of God," and Exodus 33:11 says, "...the Lord used to speak to Moses face to face, just as a man speaks to his friend." Both men saw God do great miracles in their lives.

But remember, it takes time to develop a close friendship. You can start by involving God in the details of your life and learning to recognize His faithfulness even in little everyday challenges and events. Develop a plan of Bible reading and prayer that works for you. Pray for family and friends who may not know Jesus. And be sure to thank Him when the answers come!

What a comfort to know that God loves us so deeply that He has given each of us an "open line" directly to Him whenever we need direction, comfort or strength. And His continuing promise to us is that He will answer our prayers!

LET US PRAY
FATHER IN JESUS NAME, MAKE US CLOSE TO YOU DAY BY DAY FOR THE QUICK ANSWER TO OUR PRAYER IN JESUS NAME.
