SHALLOW END?

During our Holy Week Meditations, Rachel Whitewood shared the following from a book she has been reading, entitled 'The Power of a Praying Teen' by Stormie Omartian. This fits in brilliantly with our thoughts from last week

1. If you love the Lord only for what He can do for you, then your walk with Him is shallow. If you love Him enough to ask what you can do for Him, then your relationship is growing deeper

2. If you only pray to God when things are tough or you need something, then your walk with Him is shallow. If you pray to Him often just because your love to be close to Him, then your relationship with God is growing deeper

3. If you get mad at God or disappointed in Him when He doesn't do what you want, then your walk with Him is shallow. If you can praise God and pray to Him no matter what is going on in your life, then your relationship with Him is growing deeper

4. If you praise God only because of what He does for you, then your walk with Him is shallow. If you only praise Him because of who He is, then your relationship with Him is growing deeper

5. If you feel you have to beg God or twist His arm to get Him to answer your prayers, then your walk with Him is shallow. If you believe that God wants to answer your prayers according to His will, then your relationship with Him is growing deeper.

How are you doing?
