JOYCE MEYER DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR AUGUST 22, 2022 (PRAYER: A TWO-WAY CONVERSATION)
TOPIC : PRAYER: A TWO-WAY CONVERSATION
Today’s Scripture: The sheep that are My own hear My voice and listen to Me; I know them, and they follow Me. – John 10:27 (AMP)
MESSAGE
Prayer is meant to be a conversation. When you’re praying, make sure to listen to what God tells you either through His Word or as a direct revelation to your heart (which will always line up with the Word of God).
Communication is a two-way street. It doesn’t consist of one person doing all the talking while the other does all the listening. You may have to develop an ability to listen, but God has some very awesome things to say if we learn to hear Him.
God has invited us into a relationship of fellowship with Him. It is to be an intimate
relationship in which we share absolutely everything. God is not someone we visit for
one hour on Sunday morning and ignore the rest of the week unless we have an emergency. He is someone we live with. He is our home, and we can be comfortable with Him.
Prayer Starter: Thank You, Father, for speaking to me and listening when I pray. I want to recognize Your voice and to hear You speak all throughout the day, amen.
