"Thirst": Essentials of Prayer


"Thirst" is our Girls' Discipleship that meets on Sunday afternoons (Middle School @ 4pm & High School @ 5pm). Each grade meets separately, with a leader, for a time of accountability, prayer, scripture memorization, and study of God's Word. I wanted to share a bit of what our 7th grade girls are studying this week, and it comes from E. M. Bound's book called "Essentials of Prayer." They are learning how to pray, how to keep a prayer journal, how Jesus prayed, and of course we are praying together! A few tidbits about prayer and our memory verse for this week:

For the Christian, prayer is a relationship - and a way of life.

The praying Christian, as the soldier, fights a life-and-death struggle...littleness, half-heartedness, weakness, and laziness are all absent.

The largest results in praying come to him who gives himself, all of himself, all that belongs to himself, to God.

"You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind."
Matt. 22:37
