God's been convicting my heart lately about my prayer life. Not that I don't have one but that I don't set aside enough time to be prayerful and do some listening. I FEEL like I continue throughout much of my day in a prayerful attitude, having conversations with Him all throughout my daily routines and interruptions. But, I don't set aside long enough or frequent enough times of prayer when I'm not driving the car or sitting at my desk or using an elliptical at the Y or mowing the lawn or DOING something other than just BEING with Him.
A phrase from Milton Vincent's "A Gospel Primer: Learning to see the Glories of God's Love" actually made me catch my breath today! He said "God is infinitely invested in my PRAYER LIFE. He sent his only Son to die on a cross and rise from the dead so that I might have the freedom to stand before Him."
There are lots of reasons that the gospel astounds me but I have to say I've never viewed what Jesus did at the cross specifically as GOD'S AMAZING INVESTMENT in my position to even HAVE a prayer life.
If God is so infinitely invested in my prayer life - shouldn't I BE!!!?
