The other day I noticed the prayer time in our church bulletin that was dated almost 30 years ago. The prayer group was meeting on Thursday morning at 6:00 a.m.
I wonder how many people today would gather for prayer at 6:00 a.m.?
Maybe the question to ask is: What would drive someone to attend a meeting this early for this activity? I would believe that it all boils down to being convinced of the power of prayer.
Certainly, praying this early in the morning represents a commitment. It also might be a great way to start out the day. But something really motivates a person to be committed to this hour of the day. The words of Scripture (Psalm 50:15) of calling upon God and the promise of receiving an answer is good enough reason to get up extra early for prayer.
Have you ever made a special effort to be engaged in prayer outside your normal routine?
