National Day of Prayer

Prayer, what a wonderful experience! The Bible says, “Men ought always to pray.” God’s relationship with you is built on communication/prayer. God is always talking and we ought to be always talking to Him.

We find many prayers in the Bible—Psalms, Nehemiah, Daniel, and the Gospels are just a few books that have multiple prayers or finding help with praying. David and Jesus got up early to pray or went to a quiet place to pray. Daniel prayed three times a day, and Paul said, “I pray more than all of you.”

Jesus said, “My sheep hear my voice.” I guess you need to be more like sheep than any other animal groups in order to hear God’s voice. I have told stories about sheep and how they are so ‘in-tune’ with me talking to them. Even my horses know my voice and respond to what I say. If only we would less human and more like God’s creation.

Today being the National Day of Prayer, I suggest you move your prayer life up a notch. Try to spend a little more time in prayer each day—get to a quiet place and always ask God, ”What do you want to say to me, God?”

Where ever you pray always ask God to sanctify and bless where you are praying. I am reminded of houses, rooms, and whole buildings where people had prayed or pray all the time—there is a ‘peace’ in that building/room—I can always feel the presence of God.

God inhabits not only the praise of His people but also the prayers of His people.

Have a wonderful day in prayer! Your friend…Steve
