In our quest in seeking the face of The Lord, alone time is crucial......In a previous post 'ALONE WITH GOD', i shared on the reasons why we need to be alone with God. In those moments of being alone with God we are refreshed, strengthened and rejuvenated. It is then we can see our lives from God's perspective and discover what is really important. That's where we understand who it is we belong to and believe in. The more time we spend with God, the more we get to know about Him.
We sometimes pray or worship and get short of words to use. Not that we don't know what to say but i guess we simply get short of words to say and it's that simple. God is much bigger and greater than anything or anyone we could ever imagine. No name can describe all that He is and all that He does. So God chose to show us who He is through the many different names that we find in the Bible. As women, He means something to us at different times in our lives.......In the times of chaos, He is our Peace and when we find ourselves feeling all alone, He is our Resting Place. Here are some of them to help us while praying. Many more can be found in His Word as you read;

Scriptures for Meditation
James 4:8
Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.
PRAYER
Lord, i draw close to You today, grateful that You will draw close to me as You have promised in Your Word (James 4:8). I long to dwell in Your presence, and my desire is for a deeper and more intimate relationship with You. I want to know You in every way You can be known. Teach me what I need to learn in order to know You better. I don't want to be a person who is "always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth" (2 Timothy 3:7). I want to know the truth about who You are, because i know that You are near to all who call upon You in truth (Psalm 145:18).
I am open to whatever You want to do in me. I don't want to limit You by neglecting to acknowledg You in every way possible. I declare this day that You are My Healer, my Delieverer, my Redeemer, and my Comforter. Today I especially need to know You as (put in a name of The Lord). I believe You will be that to me.
God, help me to set aside time each day to meet with You alone. Enable me to resist and eliminate all that would keep me from it. Teach me to pray the way You want me to. Help me to learn more about You. Lord, you have said, "If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink" (John 7:37). I thirst for more of You because I am in a dry place without You. I come to You this day and drink deeply of Your Spirit.
I know You are everywhere, but I also know that there are deeper manifestations of your presence that I long to experience. Draw me close so that I may dwell in Your presence like never before.
Amen.

It is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.
