At our last Turnaround Team meeting the devotion centered on a passage about prayer in Luke's Gospel. The verse seemed powerful to me. The Evangelist Luke wrote: "At that time Jesus went up a hill to pray and spent the whole night there praying to God." (Luke 6:12)
This time of prayer was as he was about to pick his twelve disciples. Imagine what Jesus did knowing that he was to make a strategic decision - he prayed all night!
Ever have a tough decision to make? How much did you put yourself into it in terms of prayer? Was it more than one sentence?
I believe Jesus felt his decision was so important that he needed guidance as he wanted the message of the kingdom to continue through us as human beings.
How about you? The next time you have a tough decision to make, think about really putting yourself into the mode of prayer. You might be surprised with what you will discover - not just with the outcome but with what happens to you in the process.
