Noteworthy quotes: “When you realize there’s this open line of communication between you and God-- and you’re using it-- it changes the way you see your day and how you operate in it.” - 10:29 “The God who created everything is saying, ‘come talk to me’.” - 15:40 “One of the ways I can be-- be still and be at rest-- is to be in conversation with God.” - 20:10 Questions for consideration: 1 Thessalonians 5:16 says, “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” Our sinful nature rebels against this- what reminders or rhythms do you have in place to remind you to rejoice always, pray without ceasing, and give thanks in all circumstances? What people or places (prayer closets?) encourage you to do these things? If you don’t have reminders, what can you start doing to remind yourself of these things? --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/waterwithlemon/support
