Why Pray...

I have been struggling lately with my prayer life. Sometimes I feel invincible with my prayers knowing that God is listening and seeing them answered. I have felt sometimes as if I was just looking for someone or something to pray for because I knew where I was in my spiritual walk and that according to the promises of God He would hear and answer.

I don't say this with any intent of boasting since I am well aware the answers had everything to do with God and nothing to do with me other than I wanted to see God glorify Himself and make Himself known. Prayer takes time and effort and is usually not easy to do. There is way to much vying for our attention, it's difficult to put every thought in obedience to Christ, and it's hard to stay focused.

So what does prayer have to do with living out the message?? Your prayer life is a reflection of your dependence upon God... With that in mind, seriously examine yourself and figure out just how much you are depending on God. In order to effectively be the church, you must completely surrender and be dependent upon God for everything.

Have a blessed weekend.
