Happy Friday FaithPointe Fam'!!!

What a week it has been. But glory to God from whom all blessings flow.

God is abundant in supply for all we need individually regardless of any situation. The bible teaches us "in all things give thanks". Thank Him for the battle, the victory, the process, the hindrance, the open door, the sickness, the pain, the grief....Lord I give you thanks that you will make a way because you are the way, the truth and the life.

 

FaithPointe Devotion: Mark 6:45-52: After He said good-bye to them, He went away to the mountain to pray. 

Prayer is necessary after triumph as it is before difficulty. Our tendency is to pray when facing peril but to forget prayer after God has seen us through hard times. Jesus prayed before feeding the five thousand as he gave thanks for the bread. But even more significantly, after the great miracle and after dismissing the crowd and sending his disciples away, "he went to the mountain to pray." This is an important lesson for us all to follow. 

Time alone - time in prayer alone - is necessary for a successful relationship with Christ. Prayer is important as we look toward inevitable difficulties we will face, but Jesus shows us that it is vital after God has allowed victories in our lives. These times of prayer strengthen and sustain us - perhaps more than any other. They should be some of our most joyful, memorable times of praise, worship, and celebration of our wonderful heavenly Father - times for thanks and thanksgiving, times of expressing love and adoration. The only petitioning in these times of prayer should be for grace to love him more.
