There are wonderful things that affect us, but nothing can touch us at the depth that God can touch us. Psalm

Father God, according to Your Word, without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to You must believe that You exist and that You reward those who earnestly seek You. (Heb. 11:6) Lord, I want to please You. Build faith in me so my life will honor the life of Your Son.

I want my relationship with You to be so strong that other people recognize Your Spirit in me. Whenever I draw near to You in prayer, help me to hear Your voice speaking to my heart so that I will always follow Your leading.

Prayer is talking with God. God knows your heart and is not so concerned with your words as He is with the attitude of your heart.
