Friday, July 24
We have looked this week at ways that we can serve God and others with our words, (Words that encourage and build up, words that teach and words that express our worship to God). Our final focus for this week will be on WORDS spoken in PRAYER. Paul’s letter to Timothy carries instructions to believers in Ephesus where Timothy was located at the time.
I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone. I Timothy 2:1
Paul places a strong emphasis on the importance of prayer. It must take priority over every thing else that we do. If we take this instruction to heart, will it make a difference in the effectiveness of the other uses of our words that we have looked at this week?
Prayer: Lord, forgive us for our prayerlessness. Prompt us throughout this day to stop what we are doing and pray.

Thanks for the reminders. I find myself going to the Father in Jesus' name for help, just to realize that that was the first time I had talked to Him all day. If I paid as much attention to my dog as I have to the Father, I don't think I could get the dog to come to me even if I had a steak tied around my neck. Relationships take a lot of time, communication and work. But mostly a commitment. I needed to be reminded of mine to our God. Thanks again Phil
