Subject: What can you get your prayer life back? |
Bible Note: That right, Tim, with prayer "Just do it" is instruction enough. One might add the word "now" as an impetus to get us off our blessed assurance and onto our knees! The marvelous thing about Christian prayer, in contrast to a number of other faiths, is that we have no mantras or incantations to worry over. Christ Jesus gave us a fine model of the ingredients a prayer ought to contain, but He leaves it largely up to us to say from the heart, in our own words, what is on our minds. Prayer and praise are so closely intertwined that I am not quite sure whether I'm engaged in one or the other, or perhaps in both, when I sing with feeling a great hymn or read aloud a Psalm. In either case, the Lord is duly praised and I am richly blessed. --Hank |
