During the entry weeks of this new year, I'm reaching hard toward God!   I've messed up too many years, sitting, hoping, and wishing!  I now understand, there is a need for goal setting, planning, and working while I pray; while I worship; while I praise!  In Bishop Clarence McClendon's book "And When You Pray" he encourages that we Confess our sins for cleansing!  The book offers "the key to accessing the presence of God."  We must know we have faltered in doing things our own way.  Confess that and get on with it!

Initiate a time for prayer and boldly go to the throne of God's grace.  Hallow His name and His place in your life as Father. Praise the very nature of His being and see what happens next!  Be sure to send me your praise reports/testimonies.
