CONVERSATION BETWEEN BEST FRIENDS
Have you seen or heard conversations between best friends? Do they converse in a formal manner or do they use fancy words? Absolutely not! In fact, it seems like both have common interests and passions. God calls us His friends. Find out the heart of God and make it your burden and you will cultivate your friendship with Him.
If we’re friends with God, will we be spared from troubled times? Midnight hour - temptations, storms and discomfort will come. Never lose hope. Run to Jesus because He has life’s answers for you.
What do we learn from Jesus’ parable? Just as the friend in the story kept knocking, we shouldn’t give up but keep praying. Friends don’t give up on each other, do they? Persevere in the assurance of relationship.
Was the friend borrowing for himself? No, he was pleading for another friend. When was the last time you knocked the Gates of Heaven on someone else’s behalf? Have a Spirit to help others, to pray for others, only then can you develop a culture of mutual interest with God.
Heavenly Father, thank you for being our friend whom we can approach any day or anytime or our lives. We are privileged to have a friend like you who gave up everything for us. We need more of your grace and power to be the hands and feet of yours in this generation. In Jesus’ name. Amen!

About this Plan
To maintain consistency and growth in our prayer life, we need to get back to 'basics' sometimes. It's like this - when a famous sportsman doesn't perform well, what does his/her coach suggest? The advice would be to get back to basics and practice. No wonder Paul compares our life to a race. When our basics are refreshed, our relationship with God is renewed, our perspective is heightened, our expectations get bolder and our intimacy with our God is deepened when we pause to contemplate on Him, the Author and Finisher of our faith. May this focus on prayer basics leave you thirsting for more of Him. Stay passionate, stay blessed!
