Tonight, I spoke on prayer and I found myself preaching to myself. As a youth pastor I find sometimes I get more out of the message than the teenagers do. I know that I need to pray more than I have ever prayed before. I think the quote that E. M. bounds said, “Prayer is talking to God about people and getting up and talking to people about God.” Prayer is composing a love note to God, singing to Him, and walking with Him.
I think it speaks to me as a Christian. If we never pray then we will never know what God has for our life, if I never talk to him. Also, if you become slack in your prayer life your relationship with God becomes slack. What is preventing you from becoming close to God? How long has it been since you spoke to him.
How long should I prayer? When you are with someone special you don’t look at the clock you spend as much time as you want.
