THE MAIN THEME: HOW DO I GET TO WHERE I AM GOING?

TITLE: FUEL FOR THE JOURNEY: THE IMPORTANCE OF PRAYER

The bible verse for today’s devotional is: 1 Thessalonians 5:17 (NIV)

"pray continually."

Devotional:

Imagine going on a long trip with little fuel in the car. No matter how strong the car is, without fuel, it won’t take you far. 

Think of prayer as the fuel that fills your spiritual tank. Without it, life can feel exhausting and overwhelming. You might try to keep going on your own strength, but eventually, you’ll run out of energy. But with prayer, you tap into God’s unlimited power and wisdom.

Prayer is more than just asking God for things. It is about connecting with Him and having conversations with God where you can share your fears, joys, and struggles, and in return, receive peace, guidance, and strength. 

Jesus Himself modelled the importance of prayer. Even though He was the Son of God, He constantly took time to pray and alone too.

Whether He was about to perform a miracle, make a big decision, or face a difficult challenge, If Jesus needed to pray to stay on course, how much more do we?

Here are a few reflective questions:

Do I pray?

• How often do I rely on prayer as a source of strength and guidance in my life?
• How can I  make prayer a regular part of my daily journey?

Let us pray:

Dear God, help me to remember that I don’t have to face life’s challenges alone. Teach me to come to You in prayer every day, relying on Your strength and guidance for my journey in Jesus name Amen.

Please say these words of affirmation. Say them, mean them, own them and live them:

• Prayers will get me to where I am going?
• Through prayer, I find strength, clarity, and direction for every step I take."

• God hears my prayers, and His answers and guides me through every challenge and opportunity on my journey.”

 Take time to pray about that challenge, today. I join my faith with yours to say a big amen. Take good care, I’ll see you tomorrow.
