‘Prayer does not equip us for greater works—
prayer is the greater work. […] Prayer is the battle, and it makes no
difference where you are. However God may engineer your circumstances, your
duty is to pray. Never allow yourself this thought, “I am of no use where I
am,” because you certainly cannot be used where you have not yet been placed.
Wherever God has placed you and whatever your circumstances, you should pray,
continually offering up prayers to Him. CHAMBERS
When you became a Christian, how did that happen? You prayed.
Our life in Christ begins with prayer.
Our daily walk should continue in prayer. Rather than try to figure it out .. we should
talk to God about it. If we draw
conclusions which lead to actions that are devoid of prayer … it is very likely
that the conclusion is ours alone and God was not included. 1
Peter 5:7 “Cast all your cares on
Him” Philippians 4:6,7 “Be anxious
for nothing but in everything with
prayer and supplication let your requests be made known to God” 1
Thessalonians 5:16-18 “Rejoice always, pray
continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for
you in Christ Jesus.” Ephesians 6:18 “And pray in the Spirit on all occasions
with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always
keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.”
So how are you doing with that? Personally I have a ways to go. It is so easy to try to live the Christian
life without prayer. Huge mistake. You don’t need to go to Christian book store
and buy a how-to-pray book … you didn’t have it when you accepted Jesus as Lord
… you just need to approach God with a pure heart and clean hands. Take time to
pray .. do it today .. do it now.
