CALL & RESPONSE
Lately I have been feeling the call to prayer. The call to draw near to the Lord. However I will be honest... It has been a struggle. I hear the call. My hearts rejoices at my recognition of that call, yet, to respond or in the way that I respond is where often I find myself, tripping up. I arise sleepy and without motivation, but I know I want more. I know that I am supposed to live differently, powerfully and happily. So why was I stuck in a place so remote from that??
Ever notice with kids, that for the most part, it is a struggle to get them up to get ready for school, and they drag their bodies from bed, to bathe, to the breakfast table to the door, to the car, they are still dragging on, to the walk into school. But, tell them you are going on a special trip, say a theme park or traveling somewhere, anywhere. They are up bright and early and with a hop and skip in their step. Sound familiar? We often, still after all these years do the same thing, but with work! When we enjoy or have an enjoyable association with something, we are excited to get up and get there, hurry up let's do this! You arise refreshed, no matter the fact that you only slept four (4) hours. You are ready for the excitement, the fun, the enjoyment ahead.
Made me evaluate how do I perceive prayer? Is it a chore or a bore to me? Wait, what is prayer? Prayer
is the time I spend in communication with God. It's My private and personal time with Jesus. It's time that I can get together with a brother and sister in Christ and together we can share with Jesus our concerns, fears, tears as well as our joys, hopes and gratitude. That's pretty awesome! I am given the opportunity continuously to connect with Jesus, with the Great I AM! I don't know about you, but that is pretty exciting to me!
Once I was able to look at prayer with renewed eyes, and reminded of what it really was, I was invigorated and encouraged to rise early and pray. I even posted on FB a call to prayer, and was blessed to not only be join in on a conference call with my sister, but with a brother and sister in faith who have recently moved a few hundred miles away. But there we were early connecting and agreeing in prayer for the needs of our communities and being able to share a word of encouragement and a Passage of Scripture to feed our souls. I encourage you to join into the call for Prayer! In fact if you want you can join me Monday and Friday mornings 530am EST over the next few weeks!
Be blessed & Live Love!
