How is your prayer life?

Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.—Ephesians 6:18


OK so it's a New Year and time to make resolutions and all that sort of stuff!

SO I ask you... Is prayer a major part of your life, or is it something you only do when you are in trouble or with others who are praying?

Is prayer really a daily way of life for you, or do you just pray when you get in trouble? Do you pray when you are home and no one else is around, or do you find that you only pray is when you come to church and are in the presence of others who are praying people?

Hay.. I don't knock that... but come on... you have to do this by yourself... you need to do it all during the day... it needs to become as common to you as breathing!

I have found that most people are "on-again, off-again" when it comes to prayer.

Oh yes they can do it for a while, but then they slowly peter out and stop praying because they are too tired to get up early, (by the way you can pray at any time not just early in the morning) or they are distracted by other things.

But how often are we supposed to pray? Ephesians 6:18 gives us the answer! It says, "Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints."

The word "always" means at each and every occasion.

Pray anytime there's an opportunity — no matter where you are or what you're doing. Use every occasion, every season, every possible moment to pray.

Prayer is not optional for the Christian, we are to make prayer a top priority.

But, I find prayer is forgotten or avoided by the average Christian today.

If prayer isn't a priority in your life right now, why not make it a priority?

"But I don't have time to pray." You have time to do whatever you really want to do so no excuse there.

You can find the time. Grab any available time you can find, and make it your prayer time.

Why not do it right? Make a quality decision to make prayer a constant part of your daily routine!
