Sermon Series Conversations with God

Praying Scripture

God speaks to us through His Word.

Your heart is where your intentions live.

“…the LORD saw that human wickedness and that every inclination of the human mind was nothing but evil all the time.” Genesis 6:5

“The Word of God is living and active, sharper than a two-edged sword, it pierces even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It judges the thoughts and intentions of the heart.” Hebrews 4:12

Prayer is where God, through His Word, clarifies and reorients our thoughts and intentions. This is the “God speaking” part of the conversations we call prayer.

The Word of God also gives us words to pray when we don’t know what to say.

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7

For the next four weeks we will practice hearing God and speaking with God relying upon the Word of God as a guide.
