                              Did You Know?

Kneeling for prayer is seen as:
**having a humble attitude,
**being submissive, and
**demonstrates that you are seeking His face.

Bowing for prayer:
**acknowledges Him as the Supreme Creator and our Father, and
**represents our surrendering to His will.

Jesus's words concerning prayer in Matthew 6:5-15
from the ESV version of the Bible:

5  And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites.  For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others.  Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.
6  But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret.  And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
7  And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words.
8  Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

9  Pray then like this:
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.
10  Your kingdom come, 
your will be done, 
on earth as it is in heaven.
11  Give us this day our daily bread,
12  and forgive us our debts, 
as we also have forgotten our debtors.
13  And lead us not into temptation, 
but deliver us from evil.

14  For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you,
15  but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

             
                 Pry Hard!  Pray Often!
​

God is love!  Jesus Christ is love!  The Holy Spirit is love!  We must respond with love just as Christ would!

The Bible mentions two different Abigail's.
Abigail--David's sister.  Her lineage can be read in
1 Chronicles 2:13-17

Abigail--wife of the wicked Nabal, who became wife of King David after Nabal's death.
Her story:
King David's men were sent with a request to ask for provisions from Nabal.  He refused the request which angered David who vowed vengeance on him.  Abigail wisely met David on his way to take revenge. Her beauty, present, tact, and apology dissuaded David from killing Nabal who later died within ten days of hearing what she had done.

Read the complete story in 1 Samuel 25.
Abigail is also mentioned in:
1 Samuel 27:3, 1 Samuel 30:1-18, and 2 Samuel 2:2

Come Join Us For:
Ladies Bible Study in the Fellowship Room
Tuesdays at 10:00 AM
We are now studying from a book by Becky Fowler Blackmon entitled The Begging Place. A Book about Prayer for Christian Women "We Are God's Little Girls"
Chapter 6 "First Prayer" This chapter emphasized the importance of teaching young children to sing and pray.
Chapter 7 "Good King Hezekiah" Hezekiah used the power of prayer personally and for a nation.
Chapter 8 "Don't Be a Pharisee (Look at Me! Look at Me!) Using passages about the Pharisee and the Publican we looked at the importance, the frequency, God's answering of prayer, and the attitude of prayer.

not based on my imperfections.)
