If there is one thing the Holy Spirit has been speaking to me during our week of prayer, it’s this: I need to spend more time praying for people.
Not more time studying for Sunday morning messages. Not more time reading. Not even more time hanging out with people. But praying for them.
Not more time talking to them. Not more time thinking about them. But more time talking to God about them.
There is nothing better I can do.
And not just a “fast food” prayer, either, but deliberate, personalized prayer. Look what David wrote:
Don’t they know anything, all these impostors? Don’t they know they can’t get away with this—Treating people like a fast-food meal over which they’re too busy to pray? (Psalm 14:4, The Message)
Bull’s-eye!
Time to get back to praying…
Tell me what you think about this...
