Livin’ on a prayer.

MORNING THOUGHTS ☕️

“Make your life a prayer.” 1 Th 5:17

That was the second part of the scripture I posted a few days ago. The first was “feast on JOY.”

It suggests that simply praying before meal time and maybe on Sunday won’t cut it. (Bon Jovi’s “Living ON a prayer” is now running though my head. 😂)

Make my WHOLE life a prayer!? What does this even mean? Other versions say “pray without ceasing”. I looked up “PRAY” in the concordance. It’s a progressive word which includes making a vow but also making requests in the direction of God.

To me, this means that if my life is to BE a prayer…it must be turned over, promised, pledged and committed to Him. It also means that I must know where to direct my requests and “from whom my help comes.”

One place and one place only.

When I actually BELIEVE this and don’t just spit out some words that sound good…my life CAN become a prayer and an offering.

It’s a beautiful picture to think of…our lives as a prayer. I think I’ll pour another cup of coffee and ponder on it even more.
