PRAY EVERY DAY

A good morning with the peace of the Lord to everyone.
For today, Wednesday 3 January 2024, the thought that I felt in my heart to share with you has as its key verse:
Matthew 14:23 (NIV)

"After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. Later that night, he was there alone."

Jesus prayed to the Father. He gave us the example of how essential it is to pray and talk to God. He dismissed the crowd and took time to talk to his Father about him. When everyone left him, he was left alone with the Father.
Jesus did many miracles. He had a compassionate heart. He was so full of love and mercy. He was also full of grace and ready to accept and forgive anyone who came to Him. He never condemned anyone. He was perfect God and perfect man. He prayed to the Father. In his intense days, she never neglected his prayer life.
How much more should we spend time with God? Some don't have enough time for prayer because they live a busy lifestyle. They have time for everything except the Lord. It is time for you to return to God and seek His presence in your life. Wake up from the slumber and cry out to God for His mercy on your life.
Never eliminate prayer from your life. Take time out of your busy schedule to talk to God. Always seek God. Call upon the Lord every day. Cultivate the habit of being with God. The Lord will take care of everything that concerns you; It's up to you to live a life of prayer and thanksgiving.

Together we pray to the Lord telling him: God in heaven, thank you for your love. Help me to dedicate more and more time to prayer, so as to be in Your presence praising and adoring You. In the name of Jesus... Amen!
With love, Ivano Salerno
