    Prayer

    Tyndale Bible Dictionary Prayer

    Christian prayer is “an offering up of our desires unto God, for things agreeable to his will, in the name of Christ, with confession of our sins, and thankful acknowledgment of his mercies” (Westminster Shorter Catechism). Christian prayer is the end product of a long process of change and development in God’s relation to people, as a survey of the biblical data shows.

    Meditation

    CSB Study Bible: Notes Meditating on Scripture for Transformation

    . Biblical meditation seeks to fill the mind with the truth, meaning, and application of the biblical text. In so doing, the Spirit of God aligns our minds with the mind of Christ so that we might be transformed into his likeness.

    From The Word on Prayer.

    Deuteronomy 4:28–29 NKJV
    28 And there you will serve gods, the work of men’s hands, wood and stone, which neither see nor hear nor eat nor smell. 29 But from there you will seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.

    In a real sense prayer, is seeking God’s will for our daily life.

    What is God’s will for me to provide for myself?

    Now I need God’s Power to carry that will out.

    This list can go on and on like this in every area in our life.

    From The Word on Meditation

    Psalm 1:2 NKJV
    2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night.
    Dictionary of Biblical Languages with Semantic Domains: Hebrew (Old Testament) 2047 I. הָגָה

    meditate, ponder, give serious thought and consideration to selected information, with a possible implication of speaking in low tones reviewing the material

    As we start to understand what God is doing in our lives, we meditate on the word of God and what it says about our endeavors.

    Lets use our work as an example.

    Colossians 3:22–23 NKJV
    22 Bondservants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh, not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but in sincerity of heart, fearing God. 23 And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men,

    “and whatever you do, do it as unto the Lord.”

    what that means is we go from phoning it in to working it up.

    In what ways are we not seeking God for His power to carry out His will in my life?
