This is the key to knowing how to pray. Pray without Ceasing.

Never compare yourself to others

Romans 12:1-2

Therefore, I urge you, sisters, in view of God’s Mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is ---His good, pleasing and perfect will

What do I need for God to do or What do I need to do for God?

How come in these days of economic uncertainty, we do not believe God?

Why am I always behind the eight ball? Why don’t I bring people to church with me?

The intimacy that I long for in my physical relationships should be the same way I feel about God

Closer than close God should be the first person that you turn

to in crisis Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and

lean not unto Psalms thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:5
