Do You Have the Time to Pray?


Each of us has only so many minutes each day.  We need to eat; we need to sleep; we need to get our work done - whatever that means for us.  The question is: How am I using my time?  

It's been said that if you want to get something done, you make the time for it!  It doesn't take much in our fast pace way of living to get caught up in so many non-essentials.  Okay, so what about texting?  I certainly realize that there are times when texting is important to us.  We need to convey an important short message to a family member that we have arrived safely while on a trip.  But there are other times when texting is done just for the enjoyment of saying a few words to someone else.

Of course, texting takes some time whether it is a minute or two minutes.  But do you find at least that amount of time for prayer each day?  Do you become so burdened with the trivial things (read non-essentials) that your schedule crowds out prayer?

I invite you to take the time to consider what time you do give to prayer each day?  How do you value your relationship with God?
