Just a few thoughts from Andrew Murray that I read this morning for all of us, who have trusted in Christ and desire to deepen our relationship with Him through His Word and prayer. Be encouraged!!!
"Never let me say: "I have no time for God."
"Communion with God through His Word and prayer is as indispensable to me as the food I eat and the air I breathe."
"I need to spend time with God even when I do not know what to pray."
"Jesus calls me to separate myself from the world and to yield myself wholeheartedly to praying."
"Even though I may have to cry day and night to God, I can count on the Father to answer."
"I ask for the gift of unceasing prayer for the power of God's spirit in all His saints."
"In prayer, I give myself to God; in the Word, God gives Himself to me."

O God, You are my God, earnestly I seek You. Psalm 63:1
Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him. Psalm 37:7
Come near to God and He will come near to you. James 4:8
Hear my cry, O God; listen to my prayer. From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the Rock that is higher than I. Psalm 61:1-2
