In our prayer place

Greetings:
God is always with us as a source of comfort and guidance. We have to learn to seek and hear God`s voice in order to know his plan for our lives.
This is done through prayer, study and simply being quiet  in what I like to call our prayer place.
Many of us seem to find time to do everything else except to spend time in our prayer place with God.
In Psalms 46;10 (NIV) we read: "He says, "Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."
I like the scripture as translated in the New American Standard Bible. It reads, "Cease striving and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."
What this says is, stop trying to figure out everything on your own. Stop and listen to God.
Our prayer place is where we receive our guidance and learn of God's plan. That is where we do our real listening.
In our prayer place we have the opportunity to repent for our sins by asking for forgiveness.
In our prayer place we can get into God's holy presence, a special safe place of personal praise and worship.
In our prayer place we learn we can trust and lean on God, instead of trying to figure it all out alone.
In our prayer place we can thank God for our many blessings and acts of personal kindness, favor and healing we have received. We can also thank God for things that we are going to receive in an act of faithful gratitude.
In our prayer place our faith has a chance to grow and we learn to rely on the guidance of The Holy Spirit.
Please find that prayer place and visit it often. It is there that we will find peace, comfort and strength no matter what is going on in our lives.
Be blessed.
