40 Day Prayer Journey -God is only a Prayer Away

god is only a prayer away404474_10150516191971431_1410908833_n

Day 31 of 40 Day Prayer Journey to Life Transformation.
God is Only A Prayer Away

We have been on this 40 day journey for 31 Days today( See daily prior posts). How are you doing with meditating on the scriptures, talking to God about you and Him ,praising Him for His greatness and talking about what’s on your heart and confessing your sins and telling Him about the strongholds in your life. Tomorrow we will continue our prayer point focus. I thought today I would change the format on Day 31.

This prayer journey should be a holy heart searching response to God’s call for each of us to seek His face for life transformation. So I hope you step out of your comfort zone into His loving arms with hope and expectancy, for God has promised that when you- His children “humble themselves, and pray and seek(His) face, and turn from their wicked ways, then He will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land” (2 Chronicle 7:14)

On this journey we have been praying about our relationship with God, our relationships with family members and our relationships with those in the body of Christ. Are you growing more in grace? I pray that this time will be radically used by the Lord to bring life transformation to us all, personally and corporately. I need it. One thing I am thankful for that God is only a prayer away. Stay on the prayer journey. Don’t quit.

~~ God Is Only a Prayer Away. ~~ When Troubles and Problems are All Closing In, Remember~~ God Is Only A Prayer Away. ~~~ Seek and Inquire of Him

My heart has heard you say, “Come and talk with me”, And my heart responds, “Lord , I am coming”. Psalm 27:8 NLT

Hear ,O Lord, when I cry with my voice have mercy and also upon me, and answer me. When you saidst, Seek ye my face, my heart said unto thee, Thy face, Lord will I seek. Psalm 27:7-8 (NKJV)

Hear Lord, when I cry aloud; have mercy and be gracious to me and answer me.
You have said, Seek my face (inquire for and require My presence as your vital need) My heart says to You. Your face (Your presence Lord, will I seek, inquire for, and require (of necessity and on the authority of Your Word). Psalm 27:7-8 (AMP)

What do you need to ask and talk to God about today? Who are you interceding for today? Pray. Believe. Hear. Listen. Pray. Believe. Do what God tells you to do. God is only a Prayer Away.
