The Discipline of Prayer is the intimate pursuit and practice of the personal communication we have available between God and us. It is the spoken and unspoken confession of our Christian faith by engaging and proclaiming our complete dependence upon Christ as Lord over our lives. Prayer is not just a selfish wish list to get God to cater to our needs and whims; rather, a discipline to shape us by what He has revealed, and to grow in faith, character, perseverance, and maturity. Prayer is meant to line us up in Christ and to conform us to Him, so it builds us up in Him.  It makes us willing and able to express praise, worship, seek forgiveness from God, become more sensitive, confess sins, make petitions for one another, and help others to be shaped, too.

DISCIPLINE: Activity, exercise, or a regimen that develops or improves a skill; training:

Explore the classic disciplines of the Christian faith from what the Bible has to say, and how these can be effective and effectual tools for our Christian formation as well as our spiritual and relational growth. Our goal here is to get you to think and pray to focus more upon Christ and His Word! Character comes to our disciplined and growing Christian life infused in and by Christ and the outpouring of the Spirit and Fruit. A discipline is a help that builds our spiritual life and maturity so we can better receive the Work of the Spirit and the knowledge of the Word to help us produce character. Thus, the distinction of character comes from our devotional life; discipline is our contribution to our devotional life.

Hopefully, it will be one of that you know our Lord and seek to love and grow in Him. Hopefully, your life and ministry can be about something much greater than yourself or your own thinking; that it is about how to glorify God and enjoy Him so your life is an impact no matter what has happened or will happen.

The spiritual exercises we have done are Biblical and are meant as a "tool" to engage the Text with a surrendered mindset to grow deeper. These classic Disciplines are not the non-Biblical "junk" or the mind-numbing mantras or some kind of altered state of consciousness. For these are very dangerous endeavors and will cause dysfunction to your faith and to your church.

The Bible warns us that if we do not have self control, we will be slaves to what controls us. Food, lust, money, our words...we can find ourselves overwhelmed with the consequences of not having self control in many areas of life. Being self controlled is the very foundation for living a life of righteousness and selflessness that reflects Jesus and brings glory to God. We have the power to bring sins under control!

If you or someone you know is struggling with self control it's time to get in the Word of God and allow Scripture to change your heart and mind. The Bible has power and when you choose to meditate and memorize verses, you will be reminded of the truth in your moment of losing self control and you will be able to make the right decision! Read these Bible verses about having self control and begin taking small steps each day to bring your thoughts and actions into line with God's plan for your life to live free and fully alive!

How to Share your Faith!  Ch. 1.   Before we can venture into the "how," we need to ask one key and essential question: who and what do people see in you? When you share about the Lord to someone, what is that person seeing in you? Your character? Your Fruit? Your personality? Your friendliness? Your love? Your care? Or?  A principle fact we must know before we venture out into evangelizing is this-when you ask someone, "would you like to be a Christian?" you are, in fact, saying, "would you like to be like me?" Are you a good "me"? Are you a person others should strive to be like? Be honest!

What do I do when I am overwhelmed?  Pastor Waid helps us find the answer to this question through the application of faith. Ask God for help; for He is able! Trust in His control! He is the God who can keep us walking above the waves, and keep us alive and going when we are under them! Go through His Word, seek what you are to learn, how you can get through, and for wisdom. If we do not learn, all those "waves" will just be a waste as they splash us into worry, anxiety, anger, and bitterness, and we may keep going through them until we do learn.

After discussing how we get in to doubt, Pastor Waid now gives us the keys on how to get out of doubt. This may sound trite and quip, but it is what we are to do and when we do it, it works! We are to accept God's plan for our life and then ask for wisdom to deal with it. This means we do not seek what we think or want, or what others who are less mature have to say; rather, we are to seek God and His Word to give us the knowledge to grow and to get through. God assures us that when we seek Him, He will respond.

Pastor Waid discusses how we got in to doubt.  Disappointments come from a collision between our expectations and experiences and ignoring the signposts of God's promises. This collision results in either a life wrecked by self-pity and resentment or one that can lead to triumph. The choice is ours and the key to it all is where and to whom we look for our hope! This is about our circumstances and how we look at our Lord. How we see adversity and His sovereignty will totally affect how we learn and deal with it

Pastor Waid unpacks how one can overcome the fears, worries, hurts, and doubts of life and have more faith! We need to recognize that we live in a sin-infested world that gives birth to

our storms; life is not perfect and is certainly not fair. Life rarely seems to make sense, yet we also need to realize we do indeed have a God who is there and who cares!  We all need to be rescued, and the great news is that our Lord Jesus cuts through life's obstacles and miraculously intervenes in the storms of life.
