P-Take pleasure in the LORD
R-Rest in the LORD
A-Appreciate the LORD
Y-Yearn to serve the LORD
P-Take pleasure in the Lord.Weather it is in morning prayers,singing songs of praise to our Father in Heaven,or just enjoying the simple beatuty GOD reveals to me,I alway see the pleasure the LORD blesses me with.I thank HIM for the beautiful pleasure HE blesses me with
R-Rest in the Lord.When I am tired because of a difficult day or circumstances,I close my eyes and ask JESUS for rest, be still.HIS loving comfort and healing envelpoes me
A-Appreciate the Lord. It is imopossable to list all the blessing HE has blessed me with but here are a few:His patience with me.At times I know I may be a difficutlt child,HE cares for me and is always there for me,He clothes me,give me a place to live and a full belly.HE loves me
Y-Yearn to serve the LORD.This is a difficult one.Because of HIS love for me,I yearn to go off and serve HIM with out waiting for HIS guidence.Many times I have to wait because the time is not right and I am not ready.
How do you find pleasure in the LORD?
When did GOD give you rest when you really needed it?
Where do you serve the LORD?
May the sunshine of GODS wonderful love bless you today and every day

Hi godsgardener4002
Thank you for wonderful acronym. The other acronym is also very good. How do acronyms help us? The first letter of each sentence is a letter in the word. In this case both of you have given us effective behaviors to follow the word PRAY.
I like your last one, yearning to go and serve Him, but it is important to wait for His guidance. That is a very difficult issue for many of us, in our excitement to help Him.
Prosperous mylotting

Hi TexladyPj
I have learned that the hard way.There were sometimes I just went off and served and said"Hey GOD I'll do the work and if I need help I'll call you"Oh how niave I was when I first became a CHRISTIAN.
Now I have learned to wait for HIS time.

As much as possible i what to offer my whole life to HIM..
as WHAT apostle john said:I reckon my life to be worth nothing to me,I only want to complete my mission that God has given to me..
when in doubt and worries..i think of God..and He has a reason and purpose for everything..In Him by faith I find rest..
A successful man on earth is not those who given all their strength in gaining for their earthly desire..but those who does their work FAIRLY according to the will of God..
And God want us to prosper..When Greed is gone,wisdom will come..and wisdom is better than knowledge..
And man will attract more than what he is expecting..the story of Job..is very inspiring..
King Solomon..become the richest man ever on this earth because He has faith..
the Exodus with Moses,God want us to be free from slavery..but we resist his plan to us...
