I just want to encourage you with a few thoughts on prayer,
( 1 ) Make time for prayer.
We live in a very busy world,it is easy in spite of our good intentions,for prayer to be neglected,one of the reasons I rise early,I know how easily it is for the activities of the day to take over.We read how our Lord at times spent time apart from His disciples ,in order to pray . (Mark 6 v 46) . In Mark 1 v 35 ,we read,'Very early in the morning, while it was dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where He prayed'.Although He was the Son of God, he was also the Son of Man, crushed with his many duties, the multitudes pressing in,wanting ,wanting,the disciples needing needing,and under attack continually,He needed to pray,He needed to be refreshed and strengthened in the presence of His Father in heaven.If He needed to pray,how much more do we need to spend time with our heavenly Father in prayer.
Words by Cleland Boyd Mc Fee.
There is a place of quite rest,
Near to the heart of God,
A place where sin cannot molest,
Near to the heart of God.
Hold us who wait before Thee,
Near to the heart of God.
