When the people of God come together to pray, it is not a sign that God is about to show up—it is a sign that He is there. God is moved by prayer. I believe that; yet, there are still few things that cause such great contradiction in my life like prayer. How can I say I know its power, its significance, and its necessity while repeatedly forgetting to do it? We wouldn’t dare use that logic with oxygen—recognize its necessity but routinely forget to inhale it. But we do with prayer. Prayer connects us to our source for: power, forgiveness, restoration, healing, discernment, growth, joy, peace, and dependence. It links us with our source for everything! To not pray is to, in effect, say to God, I got this. But we never really have it. In reality, we cant even breathe on our own. Prayer humbles us. It embraces our dependency and humbly welcomes the presence of God into our affairs. Today, let us not sleep on the power of the one we have access to through prayer. Take your sin, your guilt, your repentance, and your request before Him. Converse with God. He wants to listen. He is stronger.
