  Welcome to the intercessor's corner where life's questions
• 0:15
  and topics are met with biblical truth and
• 0:18
  spirit led wisdom.
• 0:19
  Here's this week's work to fuel and fortify
• 0:22
  your prayer walk.
• 0:27
  Hello, and welcome to divine five one five.
• 0:32
  This month, we're starting a new series titled
• 0:34
  building stronger relationships
• 0:37
  one prayer at a time. And we're gonna
• 0:39
  kick off the series
• 0:41
  with the first of the series entitled how
• 0:44
  to build a stronger relationship with God through
• 0:47
  prayer.
• 0:48
  Scripture reference is coming from James four eight
• 0:51
  and reads,
• 0:52
  come near to God and he will come
• 0:55
  near to you.
• 0:57
  Now our relationship with God doesn't drift because
• 1:00
  of distance,
• 1:01
  but often because of distraction.
• 1:05
  Prayer is how we draw near to him
• 1:07
  again.
• 1:08
  It's how we realign our hearts when life
• 1:11
  pulls us into too many directions.
• 1:14
  When prayer becomes intentional
• 1:17
  instead of occasional,
• 1:19
  intimacy
• 1:19
  with him deepens.
• 1:22
  When you make prayer your daily conversation
• 1:25
  instead of your emergency
• 1:26
  response,
• 1:28
  intimacy grows
• 1:29
  naturally.
• 1:31
  God is not waiting
• 1:33
  for perfection.
• 1:35
  He is waiting for
• 1:37
  presence.
• 1:39
  The closer you draw to him, the more
• 1:41
  clearly you'll recognize
• 1:43
  his voice in your decisions,
• 1:45
  your relationships,
• 1:47
  and your purpose.
• 1:49
  If
• 1:50
  we want stronger faith,
• 1:52
  clearer direction,
• 1:53
  and deeper peace,
• 1:56
  we must prioritize relationship
• 1:58
  over routine.
• 2:00
  Now
• 2:01
  let's pray.
• 2:04
  Father,
• 2:05
  I draw near to you today.
• 2:08
  I pray that you help me quiet the
• 2:12
  noise around me and help me to recognize
• 2:14
  your voice.
• 2:16
  Strengthen our relationship
• 2:18
  through consistent prayer,
• 2:20
  and I will always give you the honor,
• 2:22
  the glory, and the praise.
• 2:24
  In Jesus' name, amen.
• 2:32
