Prayer

For tonight's Cornerstone Large Group discussion, we talked about prayer. Prayer in the context of a sure "thing" that we have in our lives. Many of the responses that I got from my group was similar to things I have heard in the past before; this applies to me as well.

Our Prayers: selfish, only when we want something, only when we are happy, only when we
have time, easily forget to pray throughout our lives, non-existent prayer life.

It's time to stop fooling ourselves. When we say that God has been distant in our lives, who do you think is the one moving away? It sure as heck is not God that is running away from us.

Our lives revolve around so many things that it just pushes God to the back of our minds. We forget; but when we do remember, we are too busy and caught up with life to bring Him back.

I put it in this context: If you really cared for someone, what would be the one thing that you want them to have in their lives? God.

With God in your life, everything is bright and you should be able to taste the victory. Pray to your Lord and Savior because He is the most important thing in our lives; not because of what He does, but because of who He is.

Amen
