| Draw Near! |
Many people write and tell me they have trouble praying, or that they don’t really see the need to pray. While prayer is a lot like working out or playing a sport (you get better at it as you do it more), I believe the truth is that most people don’t pray because they are trying to hide something from the Lord. It’s almost like trying to tell a lie to your mother. If you’re close with her, you know she can tell you’re lying. It’s almost like it’s written on your face! That is, unless you’ve become so separated from your mother in your heart that you can lie right to her! Be truthful with yourself. When you think about it, are the times you struggle with prayer the same times you know you’ve been up to something God wouldn’t approve of? Draw near to the Lord right away. It’s the only way to clean the slate and get back to a real relationship with Him!
“let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water.” Hebrews 10:22
In Christ,
