Some Opening Thoughts

There is a lot of literature lately on EQ – Emotional Quotient. Some say it is a better predictor of success in life than IQ. I wonder that we should not develop a system that speaks of SQ – spiritual quotient that helps us by Christ’s grace be better prepared for eternity.

I do not know always how to feel or think, but using God’s Word and calling on His Holy Spirit, I pray that God would help me think and feel as He would have me think and feel according to the power of the Holy Spirit working within me.

One way to help this is to use the book of Psalms that reflects so much of the ups and downs of life as the Psalmist kept bringing his heart back to God to help in its brokenness, to guide it in its joy, delight and worship.

If the Lord allows I am planning on posting prayers that work through the Psalms as I have used them for my own life and maybe that can be a help to others as well.
You will already fine a couple of posts on Psalm 1. I hope and pray that God will help me post them faithfully in such a way that helps all our hearts and lives.

Jesus Christ brought me to Himself at a very early age. I began seeking the Lord and writing prayer journals in my early teens and have continued to grow in my knowledge and experience of prayer. I am still learning and growing in my prayer life and long to help others grow in their prayer lives as well. I am not an expert, but a practitioner who needs God to continue to teach me to pray. Prayer is both simple, yet also profound. It is deep and draws us into the depth of God, but it is also so easy and wondrous that we can cry out to God with "Abba, Father" prayers because of the work of Jesus Christ and His Holy Spirit. Prayer comes from God's heart, works in our hearts, and teaches us to go back to seek God's heart! View more posts
