Psalms 54:2
Hear my prayer, O God;
give ear to the words of my mouth.
When is the last time you devoted just five minutes to God in prayer? Nothing else going on or distracting you. Just you and the Lord, alone in prayer together. Before you answer remember that you are all alone in reading this today. No one is asking you to raise your hand in a crowd of people. There is no one to call you out, so please answer honestly. Has it been a while? Has it been very slim on the time you've given to prayer? Is it just a "ask everything and tell Him you love Him" prayer?
An old song comes to my mind this morning...
How long has it been since you talked with the Lord
And told him your heart's hid in secrets?
How long since you prayed?
How long since you stayed on your knees till the light shone through?
How long has it been since your mind felt at ease?
How long since your heart knew no burden?
Can you call him your friend?
How long has it been since you knew that he cared for you?
How long has it been since you knelt by your bed
And prayed to the Lord up in heaven?
How long since you knew that he'd answer you
And would keep you the long night through?
How long has it been since you woke with the dawn
And felt this day is worth living?
Can you call him your friend?
How long has it been since you knew that he cared for you?
No matter if it's been a while, or just yesterday, you can find that time again this morning. Before you get busy with the hustle of the day, talk to Jesus. Oh, and please don't forget to take the time to listen to what He speaks to you. So often that's where we fail in prayer.
