Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. Mark 11:24
I recently heard a sermon about the fact you need to pray
now. Have a daily conversation with God. That when the time comes you may not get the opportunity to say,
“Forgive me Father”. For when it is our time to die, it can happen in an
instant. A car accident, a heart attack, the unknown may happen and you need to
be ready. It hit really hard because of an incident where the person was killed
by a totally unexpected chain reaction of events that didn’t even involve that
person; but unfortunately they were in the area and lost their life.
The daily conversation or prayer with God needs to be built
into your life pattern. Do you still say Grace before your meals? Do you say Grace before your meals when you
are eating out? Or do you only do it when others can’t see you? Do you pray at night before retiring to
sleep? Or did you stop that when you became an adult? Do you say the Lord’s
Prayer? Or do you save it for when you are in church?
Do you take time to have a good conversation with God; or do
you only plan a minute or two of your time to pray per day? Have you turned
your fears and worries over to God?
Reschedule your day and include those conversations and
prayers with God. If you have a planner,
mark the time you want to devote to prayer. Make new habits or restore those
habits you had before. Take back your daily schedule with meditation time and
keep that communication line open, going every minute of your day. Invite
friends and family to join you.
