A Life Consumed with Prayer


Life is fragile.  We never know what can happen.  We can have everything planned out for a vacation, for instance, and then something goes wrong.  Your luggage gets lost by the airlines.  Your car breaks down, even though you had everything checked out before the trip.

Life is filled with uncertainty.  We notice, too, how unrest can flair up suddenly in countries around the world.  Even despite our best diplomacy, something can still go wrong.

This is the world in which you and I live.  Perhaps, we need not be filled with anxiety over it.  We can feel that we are not entirely out of control.  We can believe that we will be not defeated.

I ask you:  How much is prayer a part of your life?  It's possible that everything can seem to be routine.  Everything seems to be stable in your life.  Yet, you cannot predict what can go wrong.

Prayer is a way for you to claim your walk with God.  God is "with you."  In prayer you are ever remembering this fact.  You are also placing your faith in the one who has complete control over history.  Won't you want to walk this path for your life?
