| YOUR UMBILICAL CORD TO GOD |

Jeremiah 33:1-3
I have called upon You, for You will hear me, O GOD; incline Your ear to me, and hear my speech.
How often do you find yourself dropping into bed at night without having told GOD you love Him? GOD is not controlled by emotions, but He does have them. Think of JESUS crying at Lazarus's tomb, compassionately looking into the face of Mary as she anointed His feet with oil, or rearranging his daily plans to meet with the woman at the well. His love, His deep sense of caring, motivated Him to reach out to others.
We reach out to Him through prayer. This is your umbilical cord to GOD. If it becomes damaged through sin or complacency, your fellowship with Him is the first thing that suffers. The enemy's intent is to draw you away from spending time with Christ in prayer. He will DO ANYTHING to distract, discourage, and cause you to doubt GOD"S good will in your life.
How do you combat this type of covert activity? For one, be creative in your prayer time. God knows your daily schedule. As Him to help you organize your day so that you may spend time with Him at some point. Rising earlier or staying up later are simple options.
THE HEART IS THE KEY. GOD sees your intentions-good or bad. If you are sincere in your desire to pray to Him, He will open the door to intimacy between you and His Son.
Precious Lord, strengthen the cords of prayer that bind my spirit to Yours. Help me organize my day so that I can spend more time with You. Open the door to intimacy between us. IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS- AMEN
