I had some thoughts about prayer that I'd like to share. Funny thing was I had them while I was praying. It was more like, while I was praying and I was struck by the HUGE blessings that I receive when I pray.
My Pastor, two weeks ago preached on prayer and the memory verse for that week was 2 Chronicles 7: 14. In it God exhorts and challenges his people to pray and to 'seek my face'.
This one of the first blessings of prayer that I experience; namely it is a way that I can seek his face. I draw near to him when I pray and am, at times blessed by his presence so much so that I am brought to tears of gladness and praise, wonder and awe.
To be continued ...

Instruct a wise man and he will be wiser still;
teach a righteous man and you will add to his learning.
Proverbs 9:9
Do you know what wisdom is?
Do you add to your wisdom?
Do you listen to those who would teach you?
Psalm 145: 1-2

Then I was the craftsman at his side.
I was filled with delight day after day,
rejoicing always in his presence,
rejoicing in his whole world
and delighting in mankind.
Proverbs 8:30-31
Who or what was this craftsman?
Is it as some say a reference to Christ?
John 1:3

Now then, my sons, listen to me;
pay attention to what I say.
Do not let your heart turn to her ways
or stray into her paths.
Many are the victims she has brought down;
her slain are a mighty throng.
Her house is a highway to the grave,
leading down to the chambers of death.
Proverbs 7: 24-27
What is adultery?
Why is it abhorrent to the Lord?
What is purity?
How pure are your thoughts?
How pure are your words?
How pure are your deeds?
Revelations 17: 1-6

"My son, keep your father's commands
and do not forsake your mother's teaching."
Proverbs 6:20
Were your parents wise?
Did they try to teach you?
What did they try to teach/give you?
Did you listen?
Do you still listen?
Do you give thanks to the Lord for them?
How do you love them?
