The Prayer Dilemma

Many Christians become discouraged about praying because they feel like they can't discipline themselves to set aside a specific time and place to pray. The good news is that the Bible suggests that there is another option honored by God - the continual approach to prayer! That's right. Paul told the believers at Thessalonica to "pray without ceasing" (1 Thessalonians 5:17) and the Colossians to "continue steadfastly in prayer".(Colossians 4:2)In fact one of the first century Christians (Epaphras) was described as "always striving in prayers". (Colossians 4:12) So don't despair. When you have the time and a special place, lift your voice to God. When you're on the go or are suddenly reminded of a prayer need - call out to the Father. But the key is to pray. And soon you will find that the "Prayer Dilemma" will become the "Prayer Delight" to you and to the King of Heaven. (Proverbs 15:8)

Every single breath we get to take is a gift. To get to a place where it is possible to comprehend this is difficult, but not impossible.

And what a gift it would be if we could use that breath to utter praise to our Creator my brother!
