Harnessing Your Heart The practice of passionate prayers

Discipline in Prayer: No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it. (Hebrews 12:11) But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed. (Luke 5:16)

Harnessing Your Heart Discipline Positions Us: “Of all spiritual disciplines prayer is the most central because it ushers us into perpetual communion with the Father.” (Richard Foster- Celebration of Discipline)

Harnessing Your Heart Passion in Prayer: Jesus said, “love the Lord God with all your passion and prayer and intelligence and energy.” (Mark 12:30 MSG)

Harnessing Your Heart Passion Powers Us: “It is your passion that empowers you to be able to do that thing you were created to do.” “It is your passion that empowers you to be able to do that thing you were created to do.” (T. D. Jakes) “If you're not passionate enough from the start, you'll never stick it out.” (Steve Jobs) The Passion of the Christ

Harnessing Your Heart Passionate Discipline: Discipline alone is dead. Passion alone is dangerous. Effective combination.
