Prayerfulness

 

1 Thessalonians 5:17 - pray continually

 

 

 

"...Men may spurn our appeals, reject our message, oppose our arguments, despise our persons -- but they are helpless against our prayers."

Sidlow Baxter

 

Early African converts to Christianity were earnest and regular in private devotions. Each one reportedly had a separate spot in the thicket where he would pour out his heart to God. Over time the paths to these places became well worn. As a result, if one of these believers began to neglect prayer, it was soon apparent to the others. They would kindly remind the negligent one, "Brother, the grass grows on your path."

Today in the Word, June 29, 1992.

 

 

You can do more than pray, after you have prayed, but you cannot do more than pray until you have prayed.

John Bunyon

 

Prayer is a vital piece of our relationship with God. It is a means of us communing with Him and He with us. It is a means of us not getting everything we want, but being in God's presence to the point where our will takes on His desires. We begin to want more of what He wants. May we always live in a continuous attitude of prayer with our Lord.

 

Have a wonderful week!
