    How long, Lord.

    WATCHING IN PRAYER. Habakkuk 1:1-4, Habakkuk 2:1-4. This is the oracle or “burden” which Habakkuk the prophet did “see” (Habakkuk 1:1).

    Contemplative Prayer

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on May 10, 2022
     | 1,708 views

    Contemplative prayer is much like two lovers in love with each other. In contemplation we use new approaches or tools, if you will, to hear God more completely, intimately, or thoroughly.

    Mark 1:35 – “35 Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, he got up, went out, and made his way to a deserted place; and there he was praying.” This verse reminds me of how important it is to get away by myself and totally focus on God as I pray. Two weeks ago, we spent some time talking ...read more

    Jesus clearly knew God’s will, and yet he had intense angst and the deep feeling of despair that came from actually obeying God’s will. This sermon is intended to equip you for those moments where DOING God’s will, is really really hard.

    If you’ve been around Christian circles for any length of time, there is a considerable amount of frustration in trying to determine God’s will. For some, it’s because we love the Lord and want to please him, so we want to make sure we’re making right choices that would honor him. But for others, ...read more
