Prayer Time?
Prayer is our personal time with our Heavenly Father. There
are many times we have prayer during the day to help with situations, stand in
the gap for friends/family members the Spirit brings to mind, or emergencies
within our lives which need attention.
This kind of prayerful attitude is the praying without ceasing the Word
teaches us about. However, we should not limit our time before the Throne to
these instances alone. We should always
be in an attitude of prayer so we can come to our Heavenly Father in prayer at
any time. Furthermore, there should
always be time in our day when we come to God in prayer and long for deeper
communication with Him.
We all live in a
busy world, often times overlooking the need for deep, intimate, and personal
communication within our relationships.
What do we find happening in our earthly relationships when healthy
communication is not fostered? We find
the relationship almost always suffers under these circumstances. All the sudden we aren’t on the same page
anymore, we aren’t hearing things correctly,
and the tide of the relationship is not flowing smoothly. Probably more important than any other consequence
is the loss of intimacy and oneness of that relationship. The same is true, if
not more so, in our personal time with God.
So what is prayer time?
It is our personal communication with God and worship of God. Are we
making sure we set time aside to have this deeper communication? Do we truly value the opportunity we have in
communicating with our Heavenly Father?
Luke5:16 But
He (Jesus) would withdraw to desolate places and pray.
Psalm 17:6 I call upon you, for you will
answer me, O God; incline your ear to me; hear my words.
Psalm 88:13 But I, O Lord, cry to you; in the morning my prayer comes before you.
