Prayer

Prayer matters, when we fail to pray, we leave a door closed.

Prayer, is the reality of spiritual things affecting our physical world.  The power that God bestows upon us in the gift of prayer is amazing. The gift of being able to communicate with our creator 24/7 is a grace unfortunately neglected. In the moments, when are hearts desire to speak to God, he sees the willingness of our hearts, minds and souls. The longing to express ourselves to God, to go to him in prayer is prompted by the Holy Spirit.

We are spiritual beings, as well as physical. It is only fitting that we give God praise and live in prayer. By prayer, we breathe life into our souls illuminating our minds.  Prayer opens our hearts to hear the voice of God. By prayer, we are in essence, being held in the arms of God. You are carried each moment in prayer, as in the story of Footprints.

We all have time to pray! It’s just a matter of putting God first. Is prayer a priority to you? If the first thing you do is check Facebook each day or maybe even again before bed as many do checking “The big 3”, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. You have time to pray. Have you lost time for prayer, in the phantom relationships of social media? How much time have you lost each day? One hour, maybe two hours, or more scrolling online. Consider all the time, that adds up that you can never get back.  What if you used a fraction of that time to pray. If you place prayer first in your day and make prayer time a priority in your life. Amazing things, will happen in your life. You will be given new perspectives through prayer. You will have doors opened for you, that you never dreamed of. Prayer will bring blessings to you and those in your life.  A rich prayer life will help you to grow into who God intended you to be.

Today I encourage you to pray. Take five minutes and build on that each day and even when you don’t have the words, God knows your heart. Always pray…
