Seek God's Face

When you said, "Seek My Face", my heart said to you, "Your Face, O Lord, I shall seek.."  Psalm 27: 8

 For the word of God is living and active.  Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.  Hebrews 4:12



Beautiful Spring is arriving in the Rocky Mountains and it is time to begin our prayer blogging once more.  We have taken a short unannounced hiatus to evaluate the future of this ministry and God is ever faithful to meet us when we seek Him for his will. God is faithful to provide not only the insight but the fortitude to continue on the earthly journey before we come to our final rest with Him. 

The Lord has given clear direction in reference to Elohim Prayer Bead ministry and we will continue our blogs and the sales of our prayer beads for specific needs and points of prayer.  Thank you to all of you who have asked about the status of the ministry.  Your input has been greatly appreciated.  We are privileged to walk the path of Christ with you. 

Father ~ Thank you that your Spirit opens new insights through your Word.  Your Word is powerful and truthful, able to lead us to honesty with ourselves and to know your heart for us.  Thank you for calling us to a relationship with you.  Give us hearts that desire you more than the attractions of this world.  Give us strength and courage for the journey and hearts that love you and others with the compassion of Christ.  We bring our needs to you Lord. 

Praise be to God. 

     



Monday prayer - Seeking God

Good Monday to you, prayer lovers! And prayer haters. All you ambivalent about prayer. Prayer doers and prayer learners and prayer avoiders. Who did I leave out?

As you may have gathered, this is a place for everyone who has thoughts about prayer - good or bad. This is a safe place to share your thoughts, your concerns, your requests. Do it kindly and with respect, and be secure in the knowledge that there is grace.


Do you have a prayer need? What are your thoughts about prayer? Is it a good use of your time, or do you feel like you're talking to the ceiling? Get talking, people!

Lord God, we thank You for the incredible freedom to talk to You openly and without fear. Not only for the freedom allowed in our country, but also for the freedom to approach the throne of grace boldly. You are truly a great and awesome God.


This week, give us a heart to talk to You. For those who don't talk often enough, put it in our minds to seek Your face. For those who talk too much, help us remember that nothing is too much for You. You desire relationship and communion with Your children. There are those who want nothing to do with You or with prayer. We ask that you would soften hearts to feel Your love and open ears to hear Your voice.


Thank you for the opportunity to serve You. Keep us from the evil one as we strive to please You. In Your holy Name, Jesus, amen.

"Seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul." Deuteronomy 4:29

"Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart." Jeremiah 29:12-13
