FRIDAY - November 6

Read. 1 John 2:15-17
15 Don’t love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in them. 16 Everything that is in the world—the craving for whatever the body feels, the craving for whatever the eyes see and the arrogant pride in one’s possessions—is not of the Father but is of the world. 17 And the world and its cravings are passing away, but the person who does the will of God remains forever.
Reflect. How can you follow this teaching of John today? 

• In response to the pain in our community and world, this week will focus on prayer. You are invited to pray, daily, the PRAY model of prayer.

Pray. 

• P — Pause. At the beginning of the time of prayer take a moment to pause. Focus on your breath; focus on God being present with you in this time. Maybe even say a brief breath prayer as you are breathing, such as “Come, Lord Jesus, come.”
• R — Rejoice. Now move into worship and praise of God. When you pray, take time to rejoice and express thankfulness to God. At this point, you can say thank you to God for something in your life; or you can praise God for God’s character as they did in Acts. 
• A — Ask. Even though God knows what you need, God still wants you to ask. So take time to name your needs and desires to God. 
• Y — Yield. In this concluding moment in prayer, you place yourself in a posture to yield to God’s Spirit. Prayer is more than just asking God for stuff, we also are being shaped by God in prayer, therefore it is important to say “yes” to God’s spirit and to yield.
