“Following Jesus and Loving People”
Dear Friends,
As a kid, I remember my parents trying to coax and convince me to go to an event with them. I wanted to stay home and even though I whined most of the way, I reluctantly obeyed. Amazingly, when I got there, I had such a good time that I didn’t want to leave!
Prayer is something like that. Our fleshly nature doesn’t like to pray. We whine and make up all kinds of excuses why prayer and prayer meetings are not “our thing”. However, when we make up our mind that we will seek the Lord with all our heart, prayer becomes the best part of life! For me, prayer is going deeper in the adventure of my relationship with God. As I dedicate myself to pray, I stretch out into the life of faith and the ways of the Holy Spirit. Another reason my flesh doesn’t want to pray is because of how hard it is on my stubborn, self-centered nature. To get before God and quiet my heart in love and adoration takes the help and power of the Holy Spirit. If, when I pray, I just think of it being a waste of time, I simply sit and stare. However, in my imagination I try to envision prayer as the “pipeline” between my need and all the resources of God himself.
Prayer is a grace God gives to enable us to draw near to him. Jesus, when speaking of prayer, promised us, “Your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you” (Matt. 6:18). Hebrews 11:6 says, “He rewards those who earnestly seek him.” When I declare God’s Word over my prayers, my faith gets stirred and I become excited about how he will reward prayer. But if I listen to the whining, selfish child inside, I lose out. If you stir yourself to seek the Lord, you won’t be disappointed.
