I used to pray only when I feel like praying, only when somebody asks me to pray and only whenI have emergencies in life and I need God to help me out in my situation.
One Friday afternoon, I had one of the normal suddenlies in life. Its not life threatening but I could say that it stirred me a bit. I don't know why it stirred me but I just feel a bit sad. So I prayed and ask the Lord for... nothing in particular just His presence and some comfort. I got what I asked for and the Lord assured me that everythings going to be alright.
Since my prayer, I felt confident that the Lord took care of me but I'm a bit hungry for more of the Lord's presence and comfort. I feel the need to get serious with my prayer life.
That night, I met my pastor-friend and she brought with her a book. I didn't read the title just the looks of it made me think that its not about leadership or anything of kind of genre so I just look at the back cover and then my eyes caught the statement, "If you've been too busy, too tired, or too lazy to pray, this book is for you." After reading that statement, I quickly said "WOW!!! This book is for me." After hearing those words my pastor-friend then asked for the book back then removed the book marker and then gave the book to me. Wow!!! What a surprised!
That night, I read the book and found a lot of things that I miss as a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ. Prayer is very essential to a Christian. One part of the book says it is a sin for a Christian not to pray. I'm not talking about just any prayer or prayer time, I'm talking about setting a time with the Lord like you meeting your boss 1 hour everyday. And talking to Him like you are talking to a Father who cares for you and who is concerned about anything that happens in your life.
This book called "Let Prayer Change your Life" by Becky Tirabassi is a book about prayer and answered prayers. She said that after making a committment to pray 1 hour every single day, she saw God's hand move in her life. Her faith grew in the Lord and she never stopped praying for 11 years. For 11 years, she saw her life moved by the Lord simply because every single day, she would talk to the Lord about anything that happens to her.
When we pray, we unleashed a very strong POWER from the Lord. We go with the flow of God and just get fall afresh in His presence.
I made a decision to do the same; to pray for an hour everyday because I want to experience a deeper relationship with God.
For the past days, the devil has been tying to get me down with my decision and he is just trying to stop me; tempting me to do other things to quit and just go on without praying. Becky, never mentioned experiecing a lot of distractions when she begun her committment but I have a lot of them. I mean, it's just like bombs are being dropped in my feet but because of these I can feel now that I'm on the right track and I'm just excited on what God will do in my life.
