April 12, 2012, at 9:00 am I must secure more time for private devotions. I have been living far too public for me. The shortening of devotions starves the soul, it grows lean and faint. I have been keeping too late hours. - William Wilberforce This quote summed me up several days ago. I had a busy day with a lot of [...] April 3, 2012, at 9:00 am Here are some more favorite quotes from Paul Miller’s “A Praying Life.” I hope you can join us at the Book Talk on April 21st to discuss this book. Prayer is meant to be the conversation where your life and your God meet. Oddly enough, many people struggle to learn how [...] March 30, 2012, at 9:00 am This week, the Chapel’s Growth Group homework has been on Jesus and his Disciples in the Garden as they prayed on the night Jesus was arrested. I really, really loved studying these passage in Mark and Luke as well as some others I studied as I was writing. There are so many great applications and [...] March 12, 2012, at 9:00 am Merciful Father, … let me now in Thy holy presence inquire into the secrets of my heart. Have I today done anything to fulfill the purpose for which Thou didst cause me to be born? Have I performed without omission the plain duties of the day? Have I kept my imagination pure and healthy?

While some requests naturally require daily – or even hourly prayer at times! – many things [...] February 27, 2012, at 9:00 am Help me, Lord, to see You are about me. You are my hope In my laying down and rising, in my travelling and arriving, Help me, Lord, to see You are about me. You are my hope. In my sorrow and enjoyment, in my work and unemployment, Help me, Lord, to see You are [...] February 23, 2012, at 9:00 am Here’s a great list of what the Bible teaches us about prayer… God is moved by our prayers.
