Prayer is often one of those things that is the first to go. It is the first place we disconnect from God. That shouldn’t be. Too often it is the depth of the valley or the end of our rope or the bottom of the barrel that reminds us to pray. When all along our prayer lives should be alone and well, in good and bad times, when the sun is shining or when the clouds of darkness are hemming us in. What does prayer do to us, for us, through us and all around us?
Prayer does a lot. We should be claiming the reality that the connection we have with God is f utmost importance.
Listen in to what these people have to say about prayer:
"Our prayers may be awkward. Our attempts may be feeble. But since the power of prayer is in the one who hears it and not in the one who says it, our prayers do make a difference." - Max Lucado
Prayer is the most concrete way to make our home in God. - Henri Nouwen
"Is prayer your steering wheel or your spare tire?" - Corrie ten Boom
"To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing." - Martin Luther
"Prayer is simply talking to God like a friend and should be the easiest thing we do each day." - Joyce Meyer
Prayer is simply a two-way conversation between you and God. - Billy Graham
"Prayer is not asking. Prayer is putting oneself in the hands of God, at His disposition, and listening to His voice in the depth of our hearts." - Mother Teresa
“God can handle your doubt, anger, fear, grief, confusion, and questions. You can bring everything to him in prayer.” - Rick Warren
Allow your desire for God to be growing, alive and well. There is nothing more exciting and more refreshing than spending extra time with God who has a great plan for us and who loves us deeply.
Psalm 42:1 NASB
As the deer pants for the water brooks, So my soul pants for You, O God.
