Introduction : Joy.  It is a word that we hear often during this time of year.  We even sang about it this morning. We read it often throughout Scripture and especially with the announcement of Jesus birth. It is a fruit of the Spirit. “An attitude God’s people adopt not because of happy circumstances but because of their hope in God’s love and promise.” (The Bible Project) What brings you joy?

  Introduction: Carol Conner Why don’t we pray? Some answers: we don’t know what to say, what if we don’t hear, what if we don’t like what we hear, we don’t have time, I’m not good at it, I can’t pray like… We have an Enemy who does not want us praying.   Stop feeling guilt, shame, and condemnation for the reasons we don’t pray and recognize that Satan will lie to you and do everything to keep the church from praying together.

The following is an excerpt from a great devotional on prayer called Everyday Prayers by Scotty Smith.  Dear Jesus, I have no clue what kind of wild beasts Paul wrestled with in Ephesus, whether they were of the four- legged or two- legged variety or if they were simply demons. It makes absolutely no difference. For Paul, all of life became a journey and adventure of living out the radical implications of the gospel. Because of your resurrection, he would be resurrected; therefore death held no threat. Because of your resurrection, all “beastliness” will be ultimately eradicated; therefore, he would wrestle anything for your glory. Jesus, this moves me to pray today for friends who have taken on various “beastly” callings. Who in your life do you need to pray for today?
