Prayer for Beginners

December 28, 2016 by Phil Auxier

Our church’s Week of Prayer is going to start this coming Sunday, January 1.  In doing some research for it, I came across this helpful post entitled Prayer for Beginners.  I hope it encourages you and reminds you of where we can start this coming new year…

  1. Pick a time and place.
  2. Listen before you speak.
  3. Prioritize the spiritual over the circumstantial.
  4. Don’t be afraid to stop and pray now.
  5. Identify your prayer circles.
  6. Ask whatever you wish — literally anything.
  7. Be willing to ask one more time.

Grab the entire post for elaboration on these things.

From One Degree To Another?

Yeah, that's right. My one, consuming passion is Jesus Christ, my Lord. I'm totally gripped by one message: the Gospel - the good news that God came after me when I was far from Him. So, the life I live, I live by faith in Him: He loved me and gave Himself for me.

From One Degree To Another is the change that He's accomplishing in me by grace. Growing downward in humility, upward into Him, outward toward others, and inward with renewal characterize my existence.

This site is where I flesh all of these types of things out, including my life as a slave to Jesus, husband, father, coffee-enjoyer, and pastor. I hope it encourages you.
