Wow, two posts in one weeks time! This one won't be long, but I wanted to do it before I forgot it.I wanted to post this before the end of February, because it happened on the 26th; but time did not allow. So, I am doing it on the 1st of March.
God spoke to me again out of Daniel 6. This one about something that is near and dear to my heart - prayer. I have a legacy of prayer warriors in my family and I would love to be like them. Prayer is so important in a Christian's life and yet how often do we pray. It says that Daniel prayed three times every day! No matter what happened he prayed three times every day! Daniel was faithful in prayer as well. Did he know what would happen to him if he prayed to God. Yes, he knew and he prayed anyway! He knew he would be thrown into the lion's den, but did that stop him? NO! How did he pray. Did he hide so no one could see him? NO. He prayed on his knees, with his window open facing Jerusalem. And he thanks God. He didn't complain about his circumstances. He thanks God. Wow! What a testimony.
Do we pray every day? I know I don't; even though I know how important it is to do.
I let things get in my way of spending that precious time with God. I put it off, saying that I will do it later. Oh, if something specific comes up, I pray about it; but how must that look to God! Do I thank God for putting me in difficult circumstances or do I whine and complain about them? We are supposed to thank God for everything; whether good or bad.
When I do pray, I love it! I love pouring my heart out to God. So, why don't I do it more? I let things come before God and that's not good. I am going to try to pray every day. Will I fail? Again, yes. However, it is one of the most important things for a Christian to do. I challenge you to try it too. It will be a life changing experience, I'm sure.
