Matthew 21:13 says, “And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.”
The Bible says so much about prayer. I think that we are sometimes guilty of minimizing the importance and power of prayer. The Christian is commanded to pray, and so is the church. God is looking for the church to be a praying place full of praying people. How much time daily are you spending with God in prayer? Have we forsaken this most sacred command and opportunity?
Church, we must pray! Not so that we can check another task accomplished off of our list, but so that we can commune with the God of heaven. What an awesome thought, “I can talk to God.” We can walk with Him and talk with Him.
The Bible even tells us in Proverbs 15:8, “…but the prayer of the upright is his delight.” If we know that our prayers delight our God, why would we not pray? Let us re-commit ourselves today to be people of prayer. There is so much promise and power awaiting if we will just pray. As we pray, the power will fall.
Lord, forgive me for my prayerlessness. Today I come to you with a hungry heart asking for your presence in my life. Thank You for the gift of prayer; may I be more faithful in it. Amen!!!
