HowdoyouapproachGod when you pray? I want to share today how Jesus told us to approach God when we pray through scripture. Thishasbeenalife-changing revelation for me. Because when we know how to approach God, He honors His word, and it doesn’t return to Him void. He moves off of our prayers because we are approaching Him by His word.

TheotherdayIchecked something online I hadn’t checked in a while—at least I hadn’t done it since I moved to Gillett,Arkansas. I Google-Earthed myself. As soon as I saw my location via the GPS dot, I began zooming in. I went down far enough to see that the church garden behind my fence held a crop of winter greens. After looking around my backyard and a few of the neighbors’, I began zooming back out. I’ve lived here for one year now, so I wanted to see where I was with respect to the rest of the city of Gillett . . . then Arkansas County . . . then Pendleton (my mom and dad’s home about ten miles away) then Dumas and Desha County(hometown).Then I decided to zoom back out and trace the steps of my journey over the past thirty 30 years in a kind of “There and Back Again” path. That meant going to Kentucky and then to Texas and back to Kentucky and then to Tennessee and then Texas again and back to Arkansas. (With Google Earth, you can take a trip and never leave the farm!)
