Great is the LORD and greatly to be praised!

Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised! So many answered prayers, so many Word from Him through the scriptures (we thank our Pastor who used by God to share His will for us) especially from the book of Psalms.

What more did God teach us? That prayer is not just speaking to GOD-prayer is also listening to Him, the still small voice of Him as the Holy Scripture is read and studied. Listening to Him is founded on two things; first, that GOD SPEAKS; and second, that our listening involves our OBEYING. Obedience is walking in surrender to God. Self decreasing, Christ increasing! Success is different from fruit; GOD is the only one who will allow us to bear fruit if that’s His will for us especially when our lives are surrendered to Him.

One author wrote, “Surrender is an act of prayer; and prayer an act of surrender. It is hard to surrender to God because we do not pray. He who prays well surrenders well. Likewise, he who surrenders well prays well. A soul in true prayer leads to a soul in true surrender. And a soul in true surrender nourishes a soul in true prayer. True surrender is to be rested in the perfect rest of God, even amidst of trouble, turmoil and strife. This kind of rest launches us into the depths of God.”
