The Virtual Altar of Prayer: (You can revisit this one anytime, anywhere, and come pray with me.) While visiting the hospital, an Elder who was a patient at the time said to me, "Elder, last night, I couldn't hear anyone praying."

Prayer involves the worship of the heavenly Father. In the morning, commit your day to Him; in the evening, render your thanks for His mercies; when the Holy Spirit prompts us to pray, pray.

Read the sixth chapter of the Book of Matthew regarding the model prayer. Christ indicates areas of concern that should be addressed in a Christian's prayer. Bring your petitions before the LORD in prayer, and God will meet you there.

When we permit God to perform His "good work" in us, we grow in our love for one another.

True Christian fellowship is much more than having a name on a church roll or being spiritual. One of the sources of Christian joy is the fellowship that believers have in Jesus Christ.

Fellowship among Christians has to do with a growing realization that we are all undergoing the process of spiritual transformation. Together in Christ!

"Answer me speedily, O LORD." What were the answers to David's anxious waiting? These are the same answers we want to receive today.

We want to hear God's Word, to see His smile and hear His voice gives us the strength we need to overcome the enemy.

We want to receive from the LORD a knowledge of the will of God. His Spirit teaches us from the Word and shows us the path we should take. When God answers prayer, we want to bring glory to His great name.

Blessings,
