Message
Children like to go to places of interest. Once they have an holiday they like to visit new cities, countries, amusement parks, museums, zoo etc. They do this because they want to experience some new things, catch fun and just be happy. However, the excitement that children derive from these places cannot be compared to what they can find in the place of prayer. Jeremiah 33:3 says “Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.” For you to know and understand great things, you must be in the place of prayer. This means ideas, innovation to achieve and become great can be yours when you pray.

Jesus, our Lord and Master know that great things can only be accomplished when we give ourselves to prayers. He prioritizes prayer and observed it without distraction. What a great example! Do you have time you set aside for prayers every day? Just like Jesus, you and God alone. You pray by talking to Him and He guides and reveals things to you through His word. As you regularly talk to God, you can also hear His voice. The best place to be is the place of prayer.

Prayer for today: Dear Father, help me to desire Your presence above all things.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
