Prayer

Prayer is building a relationship with our God with no strict rules we need to follow.

 

Our prayer times we set aside for a habitual practice to seek after the Lord, should be seen as a springboard into the rest of our day with Him. Praying in the morning puts our eyes and hearts on God.

 

We then go throughout our busy day, and because we have already begun a conversation with God, the pulling from the Spirit to gather our attention again is more apt to happen.

 

Our hearts are more sensitive to His voice and we can discern easier when He is speaking to us after already having spent time with Him in the early hours of the day.

 

 

Building a habit of prayer in our lives takes an effort to be intentional to do so.

 

What is not so wise, however, is when believers give up on speaking with God if they have missed out on their morning devotionals and prayer time. They feel they have missed the mark for the day and approaching Him would be pointless.

 

Let me encourage you to not fall into this “works based” trap. If you wake up late in the morning, or for several mornings, just choose to find another time in your day to meet with Him. God is not upset or disappointed in you.

 

We might be upset with ourselves, but He is not.

 

True, it is beneficial to start your day speaking with the Lord, but it is not a set rule in stone. Come to Him when you can and as often as you have time for. As your relationship with the Lord grows, so will your discipline of spending that time with Him.
