Just a Guy and his Journey Back to God
Are you wanting to move closer to God? Have you had a relationship with Him, but drifted away? Do you struggle to do His will, hear His voice or live according to His will? Well, you're not alone! You and I have the same struggles. Here, I'll share my daily Bible readings, thoughts, struggles AND successes. It's my hope you'll be encouraged and know you aren't alone in your journey. I am just a guy who knows he needs to get closer to the Living God in order to live my best life and fulfill myself. What I'm not is a pastor, theologian or philosopher. I'm not smarter, more holy or enlightened than the next person. I'm just a guy trying to follow God's will.

Pray 365 August 27 - The direct blessing and communication with God
“‘“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.
