How to spend a few hours of quiet time with the Lord:
· Be still and read
Ps. 27 and Ps. 62. Write down which
verses speak to you and make them your prayer.
· In the light of
God’s goodness and greatness, think about your smallness and weakness and
confess your sin (wrong deeds, words and thoughts). Ps. 25:7-9, Ps. 51.
·Praise and
worship God with Psalm 145. Write your
own praise song and thank God for His Goodness and mercy.
·Read John 14 and
15 and write down what the Lord Jesus said about God the Father.
·Pray the 7
prayers of the Our Father prayer and use your own words: 1. Hallowed be Thy
name – worship God. 2. Thy Kingdom come – pray for that in your life and in
other people and countries. 3. Thy will be done – pray for that in your life
and your family members’ life and your country and world. 4. Give us this day
our daily bread – pray for your daily bread and other people’s needs 5. Forgive
us our tresspasses – pray for forgiveness in your life and other people’s lives
6. Lead us not into temptation – pray that the Lord will protect you from
temptation as well as other. 7. Deliver us from the evil - pray for the Lord’s protection from evil
for you and other
·Read Romans 8 and
see what the Spirit-filled life looks like and give yourself to God as a living
sacrifice – Rom. 12:1
·Pray Efesians
3:14-21 for yourself and others.
Prayer in Andrew Murray’s book “Holy in Christ thoughts”:
“Let the fear of Thy Holiness make me tremble at all there is in me
of self and flesh, and lead me in my worship to deny and crucify my own wisdom,
that the Spirit of Thy Holiness may breathe in me.
Let the fear of the Lord give its deep undertone to all my coming in
and going out in Thy Holy Presence.
Prepare me thus for giving praise without ceasing at the remembrance of
Thy Holiness, O my God!”
