STEP ELEVEN
Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood him praying only for knowledge of his will for us and the power to carry that out.

Prayer is to be the channel of our contact with God. The offerings and vows belong to the category of voluntary offerings in which the offender (sinner) shares by eating from the offering. God desires communion with his people (us). Instead of presenting dedicatory offerings in the spirit of pride we can learn that the Most High invites us to the banquet to enjoy his presence! Of course our offering must reflect our true intent. That being thankfulness!
The Lord will graciously move his people to gratitude if we will humble ourselves and call upon him in our need. When our spirit of pride is broken and our trust in God is restored we will again enjoy the benefits of answered prayer. We will experience the Lord’s deliverance!
