Speaker 1: Neither shall thy name anymore be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham. For a father of many nations have I made thee Genesis seventeen five. Dear God, your covenant of grace and kindness is unfailing. You have promised to give Abraham a great nation with descendants more numerous than the stars in the sky. We praise you for your promise and for your faithfulness to our forefathers. We thank you for the generations before us who trusted you and followed you. We thank you for the gift of life and your loving kindness that sustains us each day. We ask that you would help us to honor our covenant with you, so that your word may be fulfilled. Show us the way to live according to your will, and give us strength when we stumble. May we live lives of righteousness, and may our descendants honor you with their lives. We ask this in Jesus' name. Amen. Thank you for joining me in prayer.

Speaker 2: My friends, welcome to your meditative prayer on transforming yourself to get the most out of your spiritual journey. Use pray dot com every day and make prayer a priority in your life. Again. Our goal for today's meditative prayer is all about transforming yourself. So slow down for a second and just take a minute to center yourself today. Find a relaxed environment that will allow you to contemplate and just really reflect. Now turn that reflection towards God. Allow your mind to reach out to the presence of the Lord, and prepare your heart to be filled with His Holy Word. Today we'll be meditating on Genesis chapter seventeen, verse five from the King James version. It reads, neither shall thy name anymore be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham. For a father of many nations have I made thee My friends, Let your worship rise up to God. In this moment. I praise you Lord, for you are the Mighty God. In your hands are the depths of the earth and the mountain peaks belonged to you. The sea is yours, for you made it, and your hands formed the dry land. You have created and called us according to your purpose. I will kneel before you, before your greatness, and I will bow down in worship for you are our maker. God is a calling for you, and that calling will transform your life. When God reached out to Abraham, he gave him a promise and an opportunity. God changed Abraham's identity, his life, and his entire destiny. Because Abraham trusted in God, he received a legacy beyond anything he could have ever imagined. My friends, you too have access to this same promise. God has a calling for your life. He wants to transform you, to give you your true identity, an identity with a purpose and a reward beyond your wildest dreams. So right now, in this moment, confess to God what's been holding you back. Share with him your fears and your concerns, and now consider God's calling for your life and thank him for it. Thank the Lord that he has a plan for your future. Thank him that his plans are for good and not for evil. Thank God for his power that transforms your life. Thank him that you're not alone, that he guides your steps. And give thanks to God for the progressive work he is doing in your life. Thank him that his love will never change and he will never give up on you. Never forget God is present and he is always listening to you. So come before Him and ask Him to manifest his will in your life. Ask Jesus right now to change your heart with the truth of who he is, to unveil the person of God, the Father to you. Ask the Holy Spirit for revelation of your true identity and for him to show you who you are meant to be. Ask to be empowered with faith and boldness to live the life God is designed for you. And ask God to shape you into the best possible version of yourself, the version that will live out all the dreams and hopes placed within your soul. Remember God's calling has transformative power. Worshiping and serving God in the way He created you for will change your life. What eye has not seen and ear has not heard, what is unthinkable to the human mind. That is what God has in store for you, something so amazing you can't even conceive of it. So do not be afraid or be discouraged. Trust in God today and yield to His design for your life.
