Could ye not watch with me one hour? (Matthew 26:40)
Do you want/need more of God's Presence in your life?
Do you want the annointing to understand what you are reading?
Here is the Lord's promise:
James 4:
8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
Do you see how it works? Don't wait for a lightening bolt or a sign! God's Word says, "Draw near to God and He will draw near to you..." (James 4:8) . You must initiate the action for the promise.
This is your plan of action based on scripture:
First off, how do we start our daily prayers?
