Prayer is KEY

Last night I finished reading the book, "Experiencing Prayer with Jesus" by Henry and Norman Blackbury. It is a really great book that shows us how to have a prayer life like Jesus. That is our ultimate goal, isn't it?

Too often, many people just pray when they are going through a rough time or need help with something. But prayer should be a huge part of everyday life. It should be the first thing we do in the morning when we awake. We should converse with God throughout the day in all circumstances. And it should be the last thing we do before we go to sleep at night.

Like Jesus, we should all go to a quiet place and speak to our Father before we make any decision. Like Jesus, we should always pray for God's will to be done. Like Jesus, we should communicate with our Father throughout the day. We are his children and I mean "children". A young child when they are growing up communicates with their parents all day... that is how they learn. To God we are his "children", through communicating with Him we can learn some amazing insights from him.

I think it is amazing how God has given us the gift of prayer, the ability to communicate personally to Him. What an awesome God! It is through prayer that we truly comprehend our Christian walk, that we truly understand God's will for our life. But most importantly through prayer we praise him. He certainly deserves all the praise that we can give!

Yes, prayer is indeed amazing.

Many blessings,
