nows she s had five husbands and lives with a man who isn t her husband yet he doesn t judge her for this rather than closing the conversation his response invites her to a deeper truth and grace jesus uses his knowledge not to accuse but to offer her a way to redemption true worship spirit and truth in their conversation jesus brings up an important teaching about worship he tells the woman that a time is coming when worship will no longer be tied to a specific place whether on a mountain or in jerusalem instead true worship will be in spirit and truth this means that worship isn t about physical locations or rituals but about the heart and the truth of who god is jesus emphasizes that this kind of worship authentic and spiritually grounded is what the father is seeking anyone anywhere can worship god genuinely revelation of the messiah as the conversation deepens the woman speaks of the coming messiah who will explain everything in a powerful moment jesus tells her i who speak to you am he this is a rare instance where jesus directly reveals his identity as the messiah at this point the disciples return from buying food unaware of the profound exchange that has just taken place transformation and witness after her encounter with jesus the woman is transformed leaving her water jars behind she rushes into town to tell everyone about the man who knew everything about her the messiah her testimony is powerful many samaritans believe in jesus because of what she says and later they experience him for themselves this story reminds us that jesus reaches out to the lost regardless of who they are or what they ve done it teaches us that true worship is about more than rituals or locations it is connecting with god in spirit and truth we are reminded that one person s encounter with jesus can change entire communities share this share on facebook opens in new window facebook email a link to a friend opens in new window email like loading a call to prayer

trust that he hears and answers a close relationship with jesus we can be as close to jesus as we want to because of what he did for us we can pray any time we serve a faithful god who hears our

be with me where i am then they can see all the glory you gave me because you loved me even before the world began john 17 21 23 knowing that jesus prayed for us so long ago and continues to pray for us today is a wonderful and sincere act of love because of this great love we can talk to him about anything we can ask for direction so we can walk in fulfillment of his plans for us we can pray for our needs and the needs of our loved ones jesus modeled a lifestyle of prayer if he needed it while being fully human and fully god how much more do we need it six ways pray is powerful and effective

ground keeps us steady and strengthens us god is always faithful and we show gratitude and appreciation when we tell of his goodness and provision 1 waiting patiently for the lord s help i waited patiently for the lord to help me and he turned to me and heard my cry walking in faith often involves waiting periods where jesus may test our hearts and our patience is being refined the psalmist beautifully captures the essence of trusting in god s timing in the waiting we learn to rely on his promises and find peace in the knowledge that he hears our cries god s steadfast love and faithfulness work in our lives as we seek and praise him as we pray for his guidance and study his word we learn to pray against the schemes of those who would bring us down and gloat over our faithfulness 2 lifted from the pit of despair he lifted me out of the pit of despair out of the mud and the mire he set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as i walked along the image of being
