Psalm 28…RECOGNITION OF GOD and DAILY COMMUNICATION

PRAYER involves RECOGNIZING GOD IS OUR ONLY REAL SOURCE

PRAYER KEEPS US IN COMMUNION WITH GOD despite the

circumstances of life.

Verse 1 reminds us to consider the Lord as our rock which represents security

TRUE BELIEVERS should be STRAIGHTFORWARD and SINCERE in all

relationships and in all aspects of life.

To you I call O Lord my Rock verse 1

The Lord is my strength and my shield

My heart trusts in him and I am helped verse 7

The Lord is my strength

A fortress of salvation verse 8

Save your people and bless your inheritance

Be their shepherd and carry them forever v.9

The Lord is our ever present help and He is always there with us to bring us

forth to encounter victory despite the situations and circumstances of life.

He is our strength and shield and we choose to trust absolutely in Him

having a pure and steadfast heart

Proverbs 3: 5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart

Lean not on your own understanding

In all your ways acknowledge him

and he will make your paths straight

To lean involves trusting absolutely, to rely or rest

Always be willing to listen and be corrected by God's Word

Bring your decisions to God in prayer using the bible as your guide

Follow God's leading knowing He will make your paths straight.

We need to acknowledge God in all our ways turning every area of life over to him.

Look at your values and priorities Matthew 6:33 . What is important to you?

SEEK 1ST HIS KINGDOM AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS involves

Turning to God 1st for help and filling our thoughts with His desires and to take

His characteristics as the pattern to so govern our life in all aspects.

Actively choose to give God 1st place in every area of life.

We ultimately need to face What is really important to us

PRAYER INVOLVES HAVING A LISTENING EAR and a

RESPONSIVE HEART to whom JESUS IS thus acknowledging He is LORD

Trust comes before seeing the evidence God has so promised

Trust God with all your heart giving thanks to God connecting with Jesus

Be honest with God regarding your feelings and desires and so discover He is

more than able to hold you securely in His arms of love.

God is described as a rock whose strength stability and ability brings security to

believers with love being the essence needed for us to encounter His intervention

PRAY....THINK and so WALK

When we allow the Word to transform our thinking Romans 12:2 our

Prayers will thus influence our walk with our relationship with Christ being evident
