...to all who mourn in Israel, he will give a crown of beauty for ashes, a joyous blessing instead of mourning. Isaiah 61:3

There's a Blue Dot on My Phone

There's a blue dot on my phone.  It's suppose to remind me to pray.  A friend told me to put it there.


Thoughts on prayer: anything we get from God beyond the cross is gravy.


Sometimes, I don't pray the right way:

  1. According to God's will.
  2. Based on True Need.
  3. Centered on God's Focus.
When I see the blue dot I will pray for:

People closest to me.
Requests from others.
Away from God (the lost, or drifting).  
Your enemies.

I will admit, I got stuck on the details of "Your enemies."  When you pray for your enemies, one of two things will happen.  Either a) you'll stop praying or b) they'll stop being your enemy.  You may not stop being theirs, but they won't be able to be yours any longer.  I like b.
