“Turn your Bible into prayer.”
— Robert Murray McCheyne
◆
This week, I’m turning away from the normal Sunday Entry routine so I can nudge you in the direction of spending some time in the Words with God course.
Plus, I really wanted to share this amazing testimony that I received from someone in this community,
Your session 3 of Words with God opened a new door for me. Yesterday afternoon I followed your lead and said out loud “I am here.” Almost immediately I heard in my spirit “I am here too.” Wow! I have done this several times and each time my Father responds! —LJ
I love that so much. (In Session 3, the session LJ mentions, Juli and I focus on how to let prayer spill out of the closet and into the everyday moments of our lives, which has been one of the greatest gifts to me.)
Response
In addition to encouraging you to dive into the course, I wanted to share Robert’s quote on turning your Bible into prayer. If you don’t already, try considering your time in Scripture as a moment of private prayer. God speaks through Scripture, and he loves it when we use Scripture to speak to him. If you’re looking for a good place to start, visit the Psalms. They’ve been spoken and sung to God for thousands of years. Psalm 142 is currently a personal favorite of mine.
Closing Thoughts
I’m traveling a lot this month because God has opened doors for me to teach on prayer. Please pray for grace, wisdom, and the transforming power of God to mark these moments of ministry. My capacity is being challenged, and I don’t want to just rely on my own strength and understanding.
Praying with you,
Addison

P.P.S. Because I believe in it so much, I must include a link to the Words with God book. If you haven’t started it yet, I think you should.
