Prayers for My Family

Today I want to bring together yesterday’s thoughts. When you combine the terms “accountability” and “intimacy,” this definition of accountimacy results: “An obligation to exchange satisfactory reason or explanation for one’s actions with a person who knows and understands your innermost character, and empathizes with you in a way few people can.” No one can compete for that position better than your Kingdom Family.

When you were a child and did not know the meaning of a word, what did you do? If you were like most kids, you asked your mom or dad (who ended up looking it up in a dictionary because they were not quite sure how to explain it).

As I have previously stated, man’s ways are not as sophisticated as God’s. Chapters 38 and 39 of Job illustrate why man cannot completely comprehend God’s ways. This discrepancy is why it is so crucial for us to have multiple “feedings” from each Personality (from their unique perspective) of The God Family daily. 1 Thessalonians 5:17 says it simply and succinctly: “pray continuously.” Multiple sources of counsel increase the input, knowledge, and understanding available to us, which perfects our discernment…
