TIMES OF REFRESHING DAILY DEVOTIONAL www.thefountspring.org
DATE: TUESDAY, 4 JUNE 2024
Therefore, beloved, other facet of the subject is cultivating a deeper relationship with Christ. It involves intentional and consistent practices that foster spiritual growth and intimacy. Here are practical steps to help you deepen your daily walk with Jesus through prayer, Bible study, and worship. The first is prayer. Set aside dedicated time for prayer. Begin your day with prayer. Dedicate the first moments of your day to God. End your day with prayer. Reflect on your day before going to bed. Thank God for His blessings, seek forgiveness for any shortcomings, and pray for a restful night.
SCRIPTURE: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” — Philippians 4:6 (NIV)
REFRESHING FOR THE DAY: Moreso, develop a prayer routine and be intentional about it. Start with worship, acknowledging God’s greatness and expressing your love for Him. Confess your sins and ask for God’s forgiveness, keeping your heart pure before Him.
Give thanks for God’s blessings, both big and small. Bring your needs and the needs of others before God. Pray for wisdom, strength, and guidance. Pray through the Psalms or other passages of Scripture, allowing God’s Word to shape your prayers. Stay Refreshed!
NOTE THIS: Prayer is our lifeline to God, a way to cast our anxieties on Him and find peace. When we approach God with our requests, wrapped in gratitude, we open ourselves to His transformative power and comfort.
RESPONSIBILITY: So, beloved, cultivate a regular time of prayer and Bible study. Spend quiet moments in His presence, asking for His guidance and listening for His direction.
PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of prayer, where we can bring all our concerns and joys before You. Help us to approach You with hearts full of thanksgiving, trusting in Your perfect wisdom and love. Grant us Your peace that surpasses all understanding as we lay our requests at Your feet. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
PROPHETIC WORD: May the Lord hear and answer us and grant us His peace as we lay our request at His feet. In the name of Jesus, Amen!
BIBLE TEXTS: Phill. 4:6
