Prayerlessness & Prayerfulness

When I spoke at a Church Leadership Forum last month, I had the privilege of hearing Dr. Henry Blackaby teach a number of times. In one plenary, he said this:

Ah! The truth in his words cut me to the quick. Then I read in Aunt Jane’s Hero this question:

“Are you living a life of prayer amid all the distractions of the times?”

And so … I am praying more. Remembering Brother Lawrence picking up a grain of wheat or washing dishes for God’s glory. Thinking about God’s greatness! Thanking Him. Asking for His help and guidance and conviction.

What a merciful grace!

Oh, that we would all be drawn so close to the Lord that we would live a prayer-ful life “amid the distractions of the times.”

Amen & Amen!
