66. How to Walk the Narrow Way | John Ortberg Apr 29, 2024

Show notes

The difference between tolerating and celebrating
HERE'S HOW:
Today, let’s make it our mission to not just tolerate but celebrate people. As you go about your day, remember that every person you meet is an image-bearer of God. If they are familiar to you, extend an embrace. If they are not, extend your patience and understanding.

65. Does the Golden Rule Come From the Bible? | John Ortberg Apr 26, 2024

Show notes

The Golden Rule starts with your thoughts.
HERE'S HOW:
Today, talk with someone in your life about the Golden Rule and ask them if they think you're living a Golden Rule life. Ask them if they have examples of when you've made a Golden Rule choice, OR (if you're really brave) a moment when they didn't see you live the Golden Rule 😬. Walk humbly and let's make it a Golden Rule day!

Show notes

It’s Okay to be Bored in Prayer
HERE'S HOW:
Today, just show up. Come to God with whatever is on your heart. Commit to praying about your concerns. Don’t worry about praying the right way or for the right things. Instead, focus your mind, continually, back to God. Make today a 'just show up' day. Bring the real you to the real God and watch what happens.

The struggle is a part of it...

58. Why is Prayer so Difficult? | John Ortberg Apr 17, 2024

Show notes

Persist in Prayer
HERE'S HOW:
Today, persist in prayer.

This does not mean that you have to pray for a longer time, but rather if there is something or someone that God has laid on your heart to pray for then let today be the day where you keep talking to God about it.

Identify who or what you have lost track of praying for.
Spend time today in a journal or out loud in prayer over that subject.
Practice this everyday to build the habit of persistent prayer.

57. How to Pray According to God's Will | John Ortberg Apr 16, 2024

Show notes

Give more than you take.
HERE'S HOW:
Today, be a giver.

First, give your time in prayer to God.
Second, in your time of prayer think of the needs of the people in your family, church, and community. Ask God to show it in powerful ways in the lives of the people around you.
Third, receive God’s gift or presence, hope and love in your life. Allow your connection to drive you toward compassion and grace to the people in your life.

Prayer is meant to propel us into real world action. So, today, allow your time of prayer to show up in your life.
