Life and health and peace posseseing, from the sinners dying #riend". Be unhurried in your communion with the Lord. Rest in Him. Relax - for His presence is your HOME. (Pseln 90.1). Not only direct your thoughts to Hin, but your heart - your love, affection. In Pealm 91.14, "Be= cause he hath set hie love upon Me, therefore will I deliver hin...

Check your mind that it does not wander (1 Peter.i1.13). This ie where you will find the benefit of your PRAYER LIST. If you are baptised in the Holy Spirit, I suggest that you use the Giossalalia (speak in tongues) alternately with inglish (10or.14.15) This allows the Holy Spirit to "take over" (1Gor 14.2); and you will find it continuelly refreshing and restful to pray like thie (Teaiah 28.11-12 compare 1 Cor 14.21) ‘The Morning Watch should contain at least some of the following: 1. Thanksgiving and vorskip (Use of the Psalus is wonderful. 2. Confession (Read 1 John 1) I often use Peala 51. 3+ Intercession for others (Ron 15,30). Keep your Prayer Liet up to 4. Comnittel of the new day to the Lond Jesus. Wever let a day pase without thanking the Lord Jesus for Calvary. PRAY WITHOUT GEASING! Keep the lines open to God all day. There are three lines ~ THE MIND, ‘the HBARD, end the WILL. Whenever your mind is free from other duties ‘think about Him - end at the eame time silently express your love.

Friends of mine are lost in ein, and cammot find their way, Fey there are who seem to care,'and few there are who pray, Melt my heart, and fill ay life, Give me one soul today"
