Here are some suggested posts for your pondering pleasure this weekend:

First, some good posts on prayer.  Stephen Altrogge encourages us to not lose our intensity in prayer, while Mark Altrogge encourages us to pray expectantly.  Meanwhile my friend Mike at Hunger and Thirst has a great post on how trusting God’s promises needs to impact our prayers.  And Trevin Wax fleshes out the Lord’s Prayer with related Scriptures.

Meanwhile, on other topics:

• Stephen Altrogge talks about the link between distraction and selfishness.
• Mark Altrogge talks about the need to overcome through Jesus the sinful tendencies we were born with.
• Trevin Wax suggests several ways we have distorted the gospel.
• Tim Keller talks about our need for revival and the means of seeking it.

Finally, the quote of the week comes from J.I. Packer via Justin Taylor addressing our lack of focus on communion with God.  Read this quote – and let it impact your life!
