“‘“The LORD bless you and keep you;
the LORD make his face shine on you and be gracious to you;
the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace. ”’ Numbers 6:24-26
I was reading an exposition on prayer and the Easton Bible Commentary began with this statement, "Prayer is converse with God; the intercourse of the soul with God, not in contemplation or meditation, but in direct address to him."
This is so powerful! We are speaking directly to God! We aren't speaking to a priest, a councilor or a intermediary, but the Creator of the world, God! The infinite despite us being finite. With that in mind, let's go to Him in prayer and seek Him out directly!
Let's pray daily for our nation, family and relationship with God. The spoken word is powerful. God spoke the world into existence and in John 1 we read that the Word was with God and the Word was God. Let's speak the Word over our land.
