Walking in Step with God with Steve McDonald

There is power in prayer, but what is the value of quiet time with God? 🤔 Let's discuss. 

“Find Quiet Time With God”
When life overwhelms you, pause and pray. Quiet moments with God can bring clarity amidst life’s storms. #TrustHim #InnerPeace

“Find Quiet Time With God”
Do you ever think to yourself:
“I don’t have a problem with praying every once in a while, but quiet time just doesn’t make sense.”
I get it.  First of all, I am glad you are finding prayer an important part of your life.  If you can, make time for prayer every day.
The truth is that God does here your prayers, but making time to be still and quiet can send a strong message to God that you are prioritizing Him over things you could be doing with your time. In prayer, we are speaking and driving the conversation.  In quiet time, we decide to be still and yield to God’s influence in the interaction. We are showing God our desire to know and experience His presence in these moments.

How can we use prayer in our walk with God? How does prayer influence our faith? 🤔 Let's discuss. 

‘Pray’ 
Seeking a deeper connection with God? Start today by making prayer time a natural part of your life. Whether you’re walking down the street or sitting quietly, share your heart, thoughts, and aspirations with Him. Let’s communicate with the Divine! 

“Pray”
Do you ever think to yourself:
“I am way too busy to pray.”
Ok.  I understand if you have been told that prayer requires this or that or only should be done under certain circumstances.  Maybe you have been told or taught the only time to pray is on your knees before bed or before a meal.  Maybe you felt that these rituals were unnecessary so you stopped praying altogether.
The truth is that prayer is not a ritual or a procedure, it is a conversation with God. While many do form rituals and processes around prayer, I think God is willing to hear our prayers at any time for any reason. Trust me when I say we all have time for prayer. Have a favorite podcast?  Have a favorite show you stream?  When was your last text message?  All of these activities take up far more time than you taking up a few moments to speak with God in prayer.

"Give Your Heart To God"
Do you ever think to yourself:
“I am just not sure if I'm ready to give my heart to God.”
I understand.  If you are living your life and things are just fine according to you, then why bother making a commitment to God? Maybe you are struggling in life and wondering if giving your heart to God would make any difference.
The truth is that giving your heart to God in both of these situations will lead you to a new phase of life unlike you have ever experienced. All of us, and I mean all of us are not living our best life if we have not learned the importance of God in our life.  If you think things are fine now, giving your heart to God will allow God to reveal to you things about yourself you never new.  If you are struggling, giving heart to God may lead you to a quality of life you otherwise would not have achieved.

What are the ways we can give kindness in our walk with God? How can kindness transform darkness into light? 🤔 Let's discuss. 

"Give Kindness"
Challenge!  Ask for a chance to show kindness today - to anyone! A smile, a helping hand, anything!

“Give Kindness”
 
Do you ever think to yourself:
 
“I am a kind person, but I am just too busy to help others right now.”
 
Ok.  You have said you are kind.  Perhaps you consider yourself a good person.  If you feel that you are too busy to help others in need, I can assure you that you do, in fact, have time.
 
The truth is, there are many ways to give kindness in your busy life.  You can show kindness by holding a door open as you rush into your office building.  That took maybe 3-5 seconds.  If someone is trying to merge into stop-and-go traffic, you -do- have time to let them pull in front of you instead of assuming the person behind you will.
 
If you are truly seeking a life that honors God, you must be prepared to give instead of just receiving.  Giving kindness is one of the most powerful ways you can honor God and serve your community.
