Yesterday I talked about the importance of applying the Word to our hearts and lives in order to fight off the attacks of the enemy through temptation. This morning I want to go a step further and say that another vital thing that should be a part of our daily lives is..... wait for it..... PRAYER!!!! There it is.
Prayer really is becoming a lost art to many Christians, when in reality should be a driving force in their daily regime. Think about it this way: Luke 5:16 tells us, "But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed." if prayer was so important to the Savior of the World, how much more important should be to us?
There are three key phrases in this short passage of Scripture that should be a vital part of our daily routine and prayer life. Here they are: 1. Often withdrew. 2. Lonely place. 3. Prayed.
If prayer is to be vital aspect of our lives then we too should follow the example of Christ. We should figure out ways that we can withdraw from the daily ho-hum to a lonely/quiet place and..... you guessed it.... PRAY!
