                                            Grow strong 
                                            in the Lord with the strength of His 
                                            power. Put God's armour on … 
                                            Pray all the time, asking for what 
                                            you need, praying in the spirit on 
                                            every possible occasion
                                            Ephesians 
                                            6: 10-11  
                                            Prayer is power for action, for 
                                              defence from temptation and progress 
                                              in right activity. It is a gift, 
                                              a science and an art. As each child 
                                              of the Father gives time and place 
                                              for converse with Him so does he 
                                              receive wisdom, counsel and strength. 
                                              And a prayerful attitude to the 
                                              whole of life becomes second nature 
                                              to the totally committed.
                                            Begin each day with praise and 
                                              thanksgiving to your loving Heavenly 
                                              Father and end it by offering all 
                                              to Him. Ask Him for forgiveness 
                                              where you have failed through your 
                                              own fault and shortcomings: pray 
                                              for strength and opportunity and 
                                              time to rectify any wrongs.
                                            Realise, understand and grow in 
                                              the knowledge that I am ready and 
                                              waiting to enter the heart's centre 
                                              to empower, strengthen, guide and 
                                              enlighten with Our loving Holy Spirit. 
                                              According to the desire of each 
                                              beloved child of the Father and 
                                              readiness to accommodate heart and 
                                              mind and will to the Father's loving 
                                              purpose are We able to increase 
                                              and progress the soul. So does the 
                                              Father's Kingdom grow on earth.
