New Blog Post: ‘Come Into God’s House and Meet with Him in Prayer’ – ‘Disciplined For Christ'

Like an athlete I punish my body, treating it roughly, training it to do what it should, not what it wants to. Otherwise I fear that after enlisting others for the race, I myself might be declared unfit and ordered to stand aside. (1 Corinthians 9:27 TLB)

                                                            Prayer

Father, I shall discipline my body, treating it roughly, training it to do what it should, not what it wants to. Otherwise I fear that after enlisting others for the race, I myself might be declared unfit and ordered to stand aside. Holy Spirit, I ask You for self-control to discipline my mind enabling me to meditate on Your Word. 
Many things are competing for me to notice, sometimes it is difficult for me to focus on God. I strive to do it anyway. When I focus my attention on You and give You my attention through Your Word, I ask You to direct my mind. I ask You to immerse my mind on the Scripture’s needed to keep me in alignment to Your perfect will. I ask You to speak  Words of Wisdom to my heart and mind, in all my present circumstances. I desire to ponder on the great thoughts of the almighty God and grow closer and nearer to Him through Jesus Christ, and in the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit of God. Amen.
