Lord, Draw Me Into a Closer Walk With Thee

Five Good Ways to Tell if Your Walk with God is Shallow:
1. If you follow the Lord for only what He can do for you.
2. If you only pray to God when things are tough or you need something.
3. If you get mad at God or disappointed in Him when He doesn't do what you want.
4. If you love God only because of what He does.
5. If you think you have to beg God or twist His arm to get Him to answer your prayers.

I think we all have fell into one of those categories at one time.

The question is how to fix it:
1. If you love Him enough to ask Him what you can do for Him, then your realtionship is growing deep.
2. If you find yourself praying to Him many times a day just because you are growing deeper.
3. If you can praise God no matter what is going on in your life, then you are growing deeper.
4. If you love and reverence Him for who He is, then your relationship with Him is growing deep.
5. If you believe that God wants to answer the prayers you pray in line with His will, then your relationship with Him is growing deeper.

The Purpose

The purpose of this blog is for women to be encouraged and motivated by each other. It is refreshing to see others comments and encouragement as we travel through our day. Each Thursday a topic will be posted. The topic will relate to the topics found in the best selling book The Power of a Praying Woman by Stormie OMartian. As we think of how that topic applies to our lives we can share how God has helped us in that area. I hope this blog will be a blessing to women everywhere.
