Prayer life confession: I don’t pray as much as I should.
How much did you pray yesterday? How much did I pray yesterday?
I started off this morning with some prayer – and need to look for more opportunities as the day progresses.
God commands me to pray.
My pastor, Rick Duncan once preached in 2008, “If you don’t pray, you’re a spiritual wimp.”
Ouch.
He’s a good guy – and clearly he mentioned that during a whole teaching on Luke 11 – “Prayer that Prevails.” He reminded the congregation that prayer is our primary weapon. “If you’re not praying, you’re not breathing spiritually,” he said.
So true.
How do we connect with God if we don’t pray?
I came across this Marlene LeFever PDF that outlines ways to prayer – it’s a list of 25. But it’s really not about ways; it’s about discipline and acting like who I’m called to be as a follower of Jesus.
It’s time for me to pray – often. How about you?
