Prayer

Have you ever thought of this question, “Why Pray?” It makes you stop and evaluate just how important it is for every child of God to spend time talking with the Father. Have you had time to think the question over? If you could respond immediately, you are probably a person of prayer. If not, you might want to consider the reasons you do not ‘make the time’ to pray. Notice I said, ‘make the time’ instead of ‘take the time.’ When we ‘make the time’, we are proving to ourselves how vital prayer is in our daily walk with the Savior. Think of the things you do normally during the course of the day. Because so much of what we do is routine, we, most of the time do not give things a second thought. In many cases, it has become a normal way of life. Is that how prayer is for you? Do you set aside a certain time of the day or night to pray? Is it a normal routine for you as a Christian? Remember this about prayer. God already knows what we are going to say, even before we can think of it. So, prayer must be very important to say those things to God that are dear to our heart. It is not so much that He needs to hear us, as it is we need to express it. In any relationship, whether it is a spouse, child, coworker, immediate family, or a neighbor, communication is a must if that relationship is going to grow and become of value. Our relationship and time with God is most important because it has eternal value. I would ask that you keep my family in your prayers, along with Cornerstone church leadership, workers, volunteers and lost people who need Christ in our communities. May you have a blessed week in the Lord.
