Hearing A Humble Prayer = Empowering

Posted on September 7, 2012 by Jared Meredith

I want to ask you a very personal question: when is the last time that you (or someone else) heard you praying to God? If it has been a long time since your last communication via prayer then I encourage you with this word that is on my heart.

Hearing the sound of a humble prayer is empowering in a multitude of ways.

When people can begin to hear you crying out to God, it signifies your love and care for actually taking the time to be selfless for others. It begins to demonstrate faith and the acknowledging that you are human (and not superman/superwoman!). As we ask for forgiveness and mercy for us and others, it demonstrates that you take time to realize the things that need to change. This is very suggestive to taking the first step in dealing with any issue by just talking about it and knowing change must come. As we pray for salvation for those that need God greatly, it shows and should remind you of how blessed that you are for knowing that you have been saved and destined for a far greater place beyond this life.

I will just shoot straight with you: if your prayer is without a humble heart it may be time for some lowering of pride in our direct environment. If the amount of times you pray does at least equal or exceed when things are laid on your heart or hurts you then it simply is not enough.

Take the time to empower yourself. Take the time to pray. It will bring life to you and to your loved ones. People may just see God in you by hearing it come out of you! 😉

The Spiritual Experience

Posted on December 29, 2011 by Jared Meredith

I remember when I was growing up and how I used to daydream of being a spectacular musician. There were so many long days and nights of practicing and learning that I never thought that I would be able to play anything at all! After such a long time (or at least it seemed like it anyway) there began to be a steady progression and I learned to love the overall experience of working on myself to be better at music. It is still something that I have to work on each day and without the effort I would eventually be in lack or without the proficiency to play like I could.

With that said, I also remember the day the spirit of God entered into my life. I never thought my life was going to get better from where I was, but after getting saved I began to follow what the spirit would lead me to do. These sorts of things could be a thought to yourself in the moment or an audible voice when you least expect it, leading you down a path of righteousness. I assure you the only time that God is leading is when it is right and fair and in love for your neighbor.

Learn to allow God’s spirit to lead and guide you each and every day. There is something to be said about the spiritual experience, especially when we do not have it. It is your lifeline for leadership and knowledge in applying what you need to do and how to abide in the rest of God when you have no solution. In order for it to be fluent, keep in practice and work in it every day through prayer and close humble devotion to God. It is well worth the practice to succeed at life!
