As I was driving to church this morning, I came across a church sign that had the saying: "Prayer should be your first choice and not your last choice."
I wonder how many of us view prayer as a last choice. We have sought out various means to find a solution for a problem or find direction in life and have come up empty. We then feel the need for something more powerful than what we can do (or possibly what the world can offer).
When prayer becomes your first choice it changes the dynamic of what you are seeking to accomplish. God is part of your journey all along the way. It is God who can open doors that you might never have imagined. You know that you are not traveling alone.
Don't look at prayer as an adjunct to your life. Make God a partner in your journey. You will be amazed what this relationship will do to you.
