For a while now the Lord has been dealing with me about my prayer life. I think all Christians go through this at some point in their life. I told God that if he would show me how to pray and teach me about prayer I would obey. Since visiting my mother here in TSS I have had a much stronger burden, if you will, to pray in way that pleases the Lord. I'm not interested in religious rambling; I Want To Pray. I just can't seem to get around to developing the habit as thoroughly as I should.
Yesterday I thought out of the clear blue "I think I'll listen to FBN(Fundamental Broadcastin Network) on the computer. A very powerful message came on about prayer. I was in awe. It was the truth. If I can't be in the habit of praying I won't be able to when trials come. OK Lord. Are you trying to tell me something?
In the evening I was standing at the sink doing the dishes when I began to recall that message. Lord, you are right. I should at least some how "train" myself to be in the habit of prayer. Are you really spacifically calling me...asking me to pray? Yes, said the Holy Spirit(not audibly mind you), I do deal with spacific people in very spacific ways. Wow. Me? Yes. YOU.
Well I put on FBN again today to get some cleaning done. All had quieted down for the afternoon and I was listening to the radio station. Another message came on the radio about prayer. This time a different program. Another message on prayer? Wow. Thats all I can say. Wow. Father you really want me to pray. Well the next stop is my prayer journal.
Matthew 40,41
And he cometh unto the disciples and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, what, could ye not watch with me one hour?
Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
*to be continued next Friday*
