Pray your Lives by Jan Cox Last week I talked about staying in love – based on a sermon by Andy Stanley. He talked about love being a verb – an action word. This morning I thought of prayer this way.

H.E.L.P.
H.E.L.P. by Jan Cox Lately I have been crying out to God, as in the Psalms: Listen to my prayer, O God, do not ignore my plea; hear me and answer me. My thoughts trouble me and I am distraught. (Psalm 55: 1-2 NIV) But as for me, I trust in You (Psalm 55:23 NIV)… Continue reading H.E.L.P.
GET INTO THE HABIT
Get into the Habit Am I a pray-er? Really? I talk about it, read about it, and even write about it at Under the Cover of Prayer. But, the truth is I know I could do better. In my morning time devotionals I try to start with a prayer list. I am on the prayer… Continue reading GET INTO THE HABIT
PRAYING GOD’S PROMISES
Praying God’s Promises by Jan Cox One of the exercises I did before heading on my mission trip to Poland this summer was to read and write out God’s promises.

PRAYER LINE
Prayer Line by Heather McGillivray (reprinted from June 10, 2011 with permission) This morning, as I was hanging my laundry on the line in descending order of weight and size, I took my time to drape the last few articles—with stains—facing the sun. Nothing can disintegrate mustard spots and fade the vilest blotches of blood… Continue reading PRAYER LINE

HE HOLDS THE WHEEL
He Holds the Wheel by Jan Cox I almost died – or could have. As I headed north into rural Ontario, I thought about how wonderful the weekend had been at my daughter’s – lots of fun with my two grandchildren; crawling on the floor with them; singing songs; reading bedtime stories and having meals… Continue reading HE HOLDS THE WHEEL
