“…neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:39
Bobbi’s spiritual life needed refreshing. Prayer became a duty rather than a joy.
Friend, God wants an intimate relationship with Bobbi! He wants the same with you. Instead of a structured activity, make prayer a meaningful conversation. Talk to Him as a best friend, share concerns, allow time for Him to speak to you through His word.
Bobbi began speaking to God aloud as she drove to work and in her morning walks. She even prayed for neighbors as she passed their homes. Rather than watching TV as she did dishes, she prayed and memorized scripture. Bobbi cherished these times with her Friend and Confidant, Jesus Christ.
Friend, God wants the same relationship with you. And He is waiting for you now.

Say this as a Prayer –
In faith, I know this to be true:
By God’s grace, I am able take control of my thoughts, weeding out the ones that don’t belong—those that might lead me away from God (2 Corinthians 10:5).
This is a choice I make; I am not helpless in controlling my mind. God has given me the mind of Christ to teach me how to think like Jesus thinks.
God has already given me powerful tools “for smashing warped philosophies, tearing down barriers erected against the truth of God, fitting every loose thought and emotion and impulse into the structure of life shaped by Christ” (2 Corinthians 10:5 MSG).
These God-tools are ready for me to use and they clear the ground for my growth toward maturity (2 Corinthians 10:6 MSG).
It is true that I am more than a conqueror through God, who loves me (Romans 8:37).
I know that my fight is not against flesh and blood; it is not against my brothers and sisters. They may be used by the rulers, authorities, and dark powers of this world, but people of flesh, blood, and bone are not the ones who fight against me (Ephesians 6:12).
Because this is true, God tells me to use his weapons, such as “love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control” (Galatians 5:22–23 NIV).
God renews my spirit and calls me to a single-minded purpose, aligned with his heart and mind (Psalm 51:10; James 1:5–8; James 4:8).
Lord, I hold all this to be true, and my objective is to rely on your divine power to demolish any strongholds.
