PRIORITY PRAYING

 
Ephesians 6:18


"And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord's people." NIV


"Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints." KJV


Prayer is such a special gift the Lord has given us to communicate with Him. Too many times, we get our "list" of things together that we need from the Lord or we get into a great difficulty and call out to Him to help us. If we are praying always in the Spirit, we are praying with the will of God for our lives, the lives of others, and for all situations. It's not what we want God to do for us, but being trusting in asking God what He wants for us to do for Him.


Heavenly Father, forgive us for the lack we have in our prayer life. Help us to keep from using our prayer time as a list of things we need from You, but as a time of praise and thanksgiving. Let it be a time of refreshment and asking for Your will to be done in our lives, in others' lives, and in all the things that are going on with us and our world. We pray in Jesus' name, Amen.
