Prayer Thoughts for the Heart

Archive for September, 2009


The most important thing we can do as a Believer in Jesus Christ, and it is never too late to start, is to begin a routine of studying the Scriptures.

It is to our benefit to learn as much as we can about God’s mercy, His love, His commands, and all His many benefits. He definitely wants to share all of them with us. The greatest showing of His love was when He gave us His only son, Jesus.

We will be blessed, well beyond our expectations, if we Love the Bible, Know the Bible, and Live the Bible.

Today is the day to open you Memory Bank and deposit some reading and studying, so to have some godly wisdom to draw upon when help is needed to solve a problem.

We will reap the greatest good by obeying what God wants for us. Getting His wisdom and understanding is the best that anyone can ask for.

We feel good when we can go to our bank and make a withdrawal, so that we can meet our needs. We can also feel good when we go to our Memory Bank to make a withdrawal to help us know what to do and what to say or not say at a specific time and place.

There will be many times when we will need to know just the right words to speak to someone. Like those who are sorrowing, suffering, hurting, or even rejoicing. Th ere will be times when someone needs a friend to talk to and you will be glad that you can go to your Memory Bank, for just the right words.

There are many parents who need godly wisdom and understanding, from their Memory Bank, so to do a good job in raising their precious children. The rewards are out of this world.

Make some deposits in your Memory Bank today. The interest rate is beyond your wildest dreams and they can’t be beat anywhere or anytime. This is the best offer available today and only God can make it. It’s ours for the taking. Go For It!

“He who gets wisdom loves his own soul, and he who cherishes understanding prospers” (Proverbs 19:8 NIV).




A lesson understood is a lesson remembered.

A lesson remembered is a lesson learned.

A lesson learned is a lesson practiced.

A lesson practiced is a lesson in action.

A lesson in action becomes a habit.

A habit becomes a character trait and will determine your destiny.

What are some of the lessons you are learning and putting into action that are of value to you as a Believer.
We must take time to recognize them or they will never help us to shape and build our characte r with integrity.

We must then store them in our memory bank, which is our heart, soul, and mind, so that we can recall them at a moment’s notice, when needed.

All the things that might, would, or could cause us to sin, can be controlled or slowed down by drawing out of our memory bank, some of the godly wisdom that we have deposited there.

God’s divine love is a bonding agent for putting our lessons learned together as we store them for later use. Adding His love is what will gradually leave no room, in the living of our life, for habitual sinning.

How often does your tongue get you into trouble? Does it take the Lord’s name in vain, or tell a lie, or sow discord? Do you put “bad” words in your conversations or give someone a piece of your mind in anger. Don’t give away a piece of your mind, you need all of it.

Remember the Ten Commandments and then count to ten before you let your tongue rebel against The Lord’s Commands.

Seek and you shall find the right words at the right time out of your memory bank that will always be of value to yourself, other people, and to God.
