Three Part Harmony

Many times when we read scripture, at first it seems too good to be true. And although we might never say we don't believe it, we act like we don't believe it, or at least we put it into our "Yeah, if this were a perfect world" file.

That's why meditation of scripture is so necessary. Meditation helps you to visualize what the scripture is saying and brings it from just words on paper or nice ideas to attainable, real life--my life--possibilities.

For instance, our next prayer is based on Romans 15:5&6. In the Amplified Bible it says this: Now may God, Who gives the power of patient endurance or steadfastness, and Who supplies encouragement, grant you to live in such mutual harmony and such full sympathy with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus, that together you may unanimously with united hearts and one voice, praise and glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ the Messiah.

Wow! That sounds like Jesus, you, and the man in your life (husband, son, father, brother) are singing in three part harmony a song that God composed just for you.

So, in order to personalize this scripture and turn it into a prayer, pray it like this: I thank you Father, that you grant (your husband's name) and me to live in such mutual harmony and such full sympathy with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus that together, we may unanimously with one voice praise and glorify God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen

Remember to Stay Constant in Prayer.
