When Robert Louis Stevenson was a boy he once remarked to his mother, "Momma, you can't be good without praying." "How do you know, Robert?" she asked. "Because I've tried!" he answered.

It helps when you pray to have a touch of forever in it.

To think “In the beginning” and remind yourself with awe that you are aiming at Number One in the Universe.

There was an Adam and there was an Eve and God talked with them; that one who made it so all your cells could come together to form a person called you.

Who hung the stars in their proper places in the sky. Who instigated gravity and color and...well, that should be enough to get you in the proper mood.

Speaking of creation, think about the fact that the first prayers were between God and Adam.

It was all new and bright and filled with Eden and they talked or better still God talked and Adam listened. It made perfect sense. There was a natural linkage since man is made in God's image.

It's still that way. God asking "What are you doing?" and hopefully we replying "What do you want me to do?"

Sometimes we are afraid, as was Adam. Afraid of what is happening or about some good we are not making happen.

Almost everyone wants to improve their talking to God life. If you are one of them then check in at the throne of grace.

Allow yourself to feel the power of the Holy Spirit.

Be comforted when there is tragedy. Seek the comfort of God strength when weakness comes to call. Have an ongoing relevant communication, not just a conversation, with the Creator.

How? If you would not waste the wonder of prayer, teach yourself to relax before you pray. In short, to seek quiet stillness, chew your spiritual cud so to speak. If your prayer is a disoriented scream or a confused shout you are not asking for help but rather for trouble.

Sometimes, the best thing we can do at the beginning of a prayer, in particular, if our thoughts are racing a hundred miles an hour, is to simply fall upon our knees and shut up.

Remember how the scripture reads, “Speak (Lord) for your servant is listening.” (1 Samuel 3:10 NIV) It is certainly better than mouthings from your soul that read, “Listen Lord, for your servant is speaking.”

The word "inspiration" in Greek literally means "breathed out from God." I like to describe prayer as that particular kind of inspiration we feel when our heavenly Father tingles our soul.

Prayer? When you pray you stretch your soul, you find your soul, you use your soul, you do not forget you have a soul. If you do not pray you can too easily sell your soul. It is always a matter of daily choice, the picking of God's power for man's problems or man's power for man's problems?

Cry a bucketful of tears or pray a bucketful of prayers. Give up and fall down or look up and stand tall.

Psalms 145:18 (NIV)
“The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.”

STARTED TODAY SUNDAY MARCH 5, 2011 on my other blog Wyrick’s Writings . Serialization of another of my books SIXTY PLUS AND NOT HOLDING

This book, SIXTY PLUS AND NOT HOLDING, is about dealing positively with the challenges of getting older and fosters the belief that “If we would have new knowledge, we must get a world of new questions.” (Susanne K. Langer)

“I am come that they (you) may have life and have it to the full. (John 10:10)

Anyone who lives long enough gets older. There are no other options. How we handle the adventure is filled with options.

Keep both eyes on life, and not on the calendar. Admit your age, but don’t admit to the fallacy that you have to act like it. Saying, “I’m 39 and holding,” is more tragic than humorous because it argues that age has no attributes.

V. Neil Wyrick

Below a quote from it…

“Be like the farmer who, when asked what he was building, replied, “if I can rent it, it’s a rustic cottage. If I can’t, it’s a cow shed.”

It’s called attitude and it can make us prematurely old or longer young. For truly, things aren’t just what they are, but rather how we choose to see them.”

A quote below from ONE A DAY blog entitled DREAMS

“Dreams do sometimes come true.
And if instead they die upon a vine
we are still the better off for having dug around the roots.
It is then they have been a teacher if only for a little while.
No dream really dies
Unless we will it so.”
