Devotional:
Izzy got several gifts on her 16th birthday, but none could compare to the new model of iPhone she received. She had waited for so long to own a phone. While she had hoped for a phone, she didn’t also want to pester her parents for it, thus it was such a joy to receive this unexpected gift. The next day, at school, she tried to use it, but it seemed faulty, when she looked closely, she noticed the Wi-Fi was not on. She realized that no matter how much potential the phone had, it was not very useful without a connection.
In a similar way, prayer is that connection we need to maximize the potential within us. Despite our best intentions, God is the one with the blueprint for our lives and we will only fulfill all we were created to be and do when we locate that purpose in God through prayers. Prayers should not be the last resort- a trick in our hat that we pull out when faced with difficulties, rather it should be where we start and where we constantly anchor as we navigate the changes that come with personal growth.
Here are a few reflective questions:
- How often do I stay connected to God through prayers?
- What is one thing I can do as a reminder to spend more time in prayers?
Let Us Pray:
Dear God, thank You that I am not walking alone, help me connect more with you each day in Jesus’ name, Amen.”
Please say these words of affirmation after me. Say them, mean them, own them and live them:
- I stay connected to God constantly.
- I am enabled by His Spirit and my way is made easy and smooth.
Have a great day. See you tomorrow dear ones.
