For the month of September I've covered the need for nourishing our bodies in various ways. We each need to eat, we need to breathe, we need to move, and we need to pray. Now, there are many other various needs our bodies have, like sleep, but we'll cover that at a different time.
What does prayer have to do with our wellbeing? You might be saying, "I don't need to pray! I'm doing just fine!" Well, I'm going to propose that you give it a try.
Why?
Every! Single! One! Of! Us!
Has a Jesus sized hole in our hearts!
We work our whole lives, at times, to fill that hole with things, addictions, relationships, experiences, money, serving, or simply hiding away in our bedrooms avoiding people.
The hole still remains.
We've done all we can do to fill that hole, obsessively working toward filling that need, that desire to be truly happy, accepted and loved.
But nothing this world can offer will fill that hole.

But nothing this world can offer will fill that hole.
Only God can fill that hole for you with His Son Jesus Christ.
All you have to do is surrender. Kneel down where you are, right now, and say,
"God,
I've tried to do it all. I've tried to fill my own heart with things that don't matter.
I've tried to do it all. I've tried to fill my own heart with things that don't matter.
I've done things I'm terribly sorry for. Please forgive me.
I'm a sinner.
I need you now, Lord.
Come in to my heart, Lord Jesus. Fill me up where I was trying to do it all on my own.
I accept you as my Lord and Savior.
In Jesus Name,
Amen"
This is all you have to say.
Why?
"For God so loved the world He gave His only Son, that whosoever would believe in Him, would not perish but would have everlasting life." John 3:16.
God loved the world--That means the whole world, every one in it...everyone! Including YOU!
God loved the world--That means the whole world, every one in it...everyone! Including YOU!
He gave--A way to make things right between God and man.
His Son--A sinless man to die for our sins, to be buried in a tomb, and to rise again on the 3rd day--overcoming death.
Whosoever--That means anyone!
Believe in Him--That's it! Just believe in Him!
Would not perish but would have everlasting life--would live eternally after death with Him in heaven.
"...because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."(Rom 10:9)
It is truly that simple!
What's next?
You can get ahold of a local pastor where you live and tell them about your experience and desire to learn more about Jesus. Or, you can go to Sherwood Baptist Church and get plugged in there. Talk with one of the pastors and share with them your experience.

It is my prayer for each one of you reading today, whether it is when this is published or some time in the future, that you pray this prayer, accepting the Lord Jesus as your Savior. It will seriously change your life!
Without the Lord, I am nothing. With the Lord, I can do all things, because He strengthens me.
Love & God Bless,
Regina
