a missional prayer

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where
there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is
sadness, joy.

St. Francis of Assisi

THE MISSION AND THE JOURNEY

Draw near to God and be satisfied

And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who seek Him. (Hebrews 11:6)


In order to seek the Lord we must possess faith. The greatest problem among so many Saints today is our laziness. As Christians, God equips us with enough faith to draw near to Him, but we fail to appropriate it.

The good news is that when we finally figure out that prayer is the first most important element of fellowship with the Father, we find a super-natural ability given, and a deeper, more intimate relationship with God occurs.

This is our reward.. It is not necessarily our requests and petitions answered, or that the position we have been patiently waiting for finally materializes.

Our reward is intimacy with the Father.

When this dynamic happens, there is no other place you would rather be, and there is nothing more satisfying. Everything else that may come after this, is just added grace.

Draw near to God today and be satisfied.
