  - Prayer isn't simply something we do. It's how
• 1:20
  - we walk with God every day.
• 1:34
  - Welcome to the divine five one five podcast.
• 1:38
  - Here is today's prayer.
• 1:46
  - Hello, and welcome to divine five one five
• 1:49
  - daily prayers with Valerie Rocha.
• 1:51
  - Today's prayer topic is dealing with how God's
• 1:54
  - word can truly change your life.
• 1:56
  - Key scripture comes from James one twenty two
• 1:58
  - and says, do not merely listen to the
• 2:01
  - word.
• 2:02
  - Do what it says.
• 2:05
  - Now the challenge
• 2:07
  - that we've been talking about
• 2:10
  - is
• 2:11
  - how to apply God's word, how to study
• 2:14
  - God's word,
• 2:16
  - which
• 2:16
  - in some regards is not an easy task.
• 2:21
  - We can finish a month about studying God's
• 2:24
  - word and immediately
• 2:25
  - move on to the next topic.
• 2:28
  - But
• 2:29
  - if all we've gained is more information,
• 2:32
  - then we've missed the purpose.
• 2:35
  - The real question isn't what did I learn
• 2:38
  - this once.
• 2:40
  - What it should be is what changed because
• 2:42
  - of what I learned.
• 2:45
  - Now transformation really feels dramatic while it's happening.
• 2:49
  - In fact, it often looks like choosing a
• 2:52
  - different response or
• 2:54
  - catching a negative thought or opening scripture instead
• 2:57
  - of scrolling,
• 2:59
  - praying before making a decision,
• 3:02
  - forgiving when we'd rather hold on to the
• 3:04
  - offense,
• 3:05
  - or returning to God after we've gotten distracted.
• 3:10
  - Small acts of obedience become a transformed life
• 3:14
  - when they're practiced
• 3:15
  - consistent.
• 3:18
  - Prayer keeps scripture connected to relationship.
• 3:23
  - Why? Because we don't study God's word merely
• 3:25
  - to master biblical information,
• 3:29
  - but rather we study because we want to
• 3:31
  - know the God who gave it to us.
• 3:36
  - When we're faced with these challenges,
• 3:39
  - we can always ask God to make this
• 3:42
  - truth real to us.
• 3:45
  - And we live differently because we've spent time
• 3:48
  - with him.
• 3:49
  - And that's when bible study moves from information
• 3:52
  - to transformation.
• 3:55
  - That being said, let's pray.
• 3:59
  - Father god, thank you for everything you've taught
• 4:02
  - us through your word this month.
• 4:05
  - Don't let these lessons
• 4:07
  - become information we simply move past.
• 4:11
  - Plant your truth deeply within us.
• 4:14
  - Continue renewing our mind,
• 4:16
  - correcting our heart,
• 4:18
  - guiding our decisions, and shaping the way we
• 4:21
  - live.
• 4:23
  - Give us a hunger to study your word,
• 4:26
  - a desire to meet you in prayer,
• 4:29
  - and courage to obey what you reveal.
• 4:32
  - May the evidence of our time with you
• 4:34
  - be seen in
• 4:36
  - who we are becoming,
• 4:39
  - and we will bless you in Jesus' name.
• 4:42
  - Well,
• 4:44
  - September may be ending,
• 4:46
  - but your growth doesn't have to stop here.
• 4:49
  - The inner chamber is where we're continuing to
• 4:51
  - practice what we've been talking about,
• 4:54
  - growing through God's word,
• 4:57
  - developing intentional prayer rhythms,
• 4:59
  - and learning how to apply biblical truth to
• 5:02
  - real life
• 5:03
  - alongside a community of believers.
• 5:07
  - We welcome you to visit us at divine515.com
• 5:11
  - to learn more about becoming part of the
• 5:13
  - inner chamber community.
• 5:15
  - And if this month's series has helped you,
• 5:17
  - share the divine five one five podcast with
• 5:20
  - someone who could benefit from learning how to
• 5:22
  - move from simply
• 5:24
  - reading God's word to living
• 5:27
  - it. As we close this month's journey, remember,
• 5:30
  - don't just read the word.
• 5:32
  - Pray it,
• 5:33
  - practice it, live it.
• 5:36
  - And as always,
• 5:38
  - remember,
• 5:41
  - regardless of what you're going through, there's room
• 5:43
  - at the throne.
• 5:45
  - Because prayer isn't simply something we do,
• 5:47
  - it's how we walk with God every day.
