We covered the Bible last week, so now let’s turn our attention to prayer. It may seem difficult to eek out “extra” time to pray each day, but is that really what God is calling us to anyway? The Bible tells us to “pray without ceasing,” in 1 Thessalonians 5:17, that means non-stop. So instead of waiting for imaginary “free time” to come, we need to be praying in the midst of our full and active lives. To aim for this holy ideal (God’s standards are always perfect, anything less and he would not be God), we need to learn to make prayer a natural part of who we are, as much a part of our day as breathing. This is a vital factor in our relationship with God. Prayer helps us to practice and experience the closeness of having our loving Father with us at all times. This incredible access is granted to us only through the actions of Jesus Christ (see Hebrews 10:19-20). Here are some of my personal tips to encourage this life of prayer in women:
“The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. He fulfills the desire of those who fear him; he also hears their cry and saves them.” Psalm 145:18-19 Comments are closed.
