So often we whineabout the rrhard choicesrr in life, as if some-one had promised us that righteousnesswould always feel good, be easy. A quiekreview of scripture will certainly remind usthat walking the Christian life is tough, de-manding, oceasionally excruciating. Itwasnrt a pleasure cruise Jesus set out onwhen He went to the desert to pray. He

3 ingredients for powerful prqyerA close, loving relationship with God
depends on a rich prayer life. It is throughprayer that God guides, consoles,strengthens, challenges, and transforms us.Ingredients of a strong prayer life caninclude a Scripture reading, quiet meditation,and expectation. \
Meditate on Scripture each day: The Biblecontains everything God wants us to know Starteach morning with a verse, a chapter, or a phrasethat speaks to you and carry it with you
from
throughout the day.Listen in silence: Listening is as important as
talking. Spend 15 minutes in silence each dayto listen to what God wants your heart to know.Wait in positive expectation. When we have
faith that God personally loves us and wants whatis best, we eagerly await the plans he has for us. '1..
faith is the assurance of things hoped fon the conrtictionof things not seen" (Hebrews 11:1). The conviction
that God hears and answers us makes our prayertruly powerful.
