Praying People

Hi there!
Isn’t it awesome that God wants to spend time with us?  But honestly, spending time with God is not always at the top of our priority list.  Last Sunday I spoke to you about what it takes to be a “Praying People”.  One of the practical things I focused on was your First 15.  Are you willing to spend the first 15 minutes of everyday with God? It may sound intimidating, but this simple commitment could change everything about your day. 

It may take some discipline to get up a few minutes earlier or choose to do this before you check your social media or turn on the TV. Forming this new habit requires daily commitment but as I said on Sunday- it’s actually really simple.  5 Minutes in Worship, 5 Minutes in the Word and 5 Minutes in Prayer.  Setting this time aside every day creates a great starting point and will help you to see growth in your relationship with God. By starting with your First 15, you can create a daily rhythm of time with God.  Stay committed to it and keep going and when you have opportunity, share with others what God is saying to you through your experience of reading and prayer.  Some days will be great, other days will be a challenge.  That doesn’t mean that you love God any less. It just means that you are human. 

By making a commitment, you take emotion out of the equation and communicate to God that this is a priority to you even when it isn’t easy. Your commitment will honor God and help you persevere.  You consistency will help it to become a habit.  
Have more questions?  Reply to this email and I would love to help you grow in your relationship with God as we become a “Praying People”.

Looking Up,
Pastor Treavor
