Day Eighteen



READ:  Acts 12

As the Jesus movement continues to grow, James “son of thunder” is killed by a bitterly jealous King Herod.  This ignites a fervent movement of congregational.   vv5,12

During their season of prayer:
·         an angel boosts Peter from jail, half-naked, fully asleep
·         an angel strikes down King Herod, where he was eaten by worms and died

Be mindful how you pray.

How many times do you pray weekly:

  • 1-2
  • 3-4
  • 5-6
  • +7
  • I pray without ceasing


What is a reasonable percentage of each day to spend connecting to the God of the universe:

  • 1%   (14 mins)
  • 2%   (28 mins)
  • 5%   (72 mins)
  • 0.3%  (5 mins)

 
Jesus taught his followers to pray a six-piece prayer that we’ve appropriately titled “The Lord’s Prayer”    

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name

your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us today our daily bread.

And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation, but

deliver us from the evil one.


Invitation:  Select the phrase of this prayer which best fits your soul today.  Pray it throughout today.
