Prayer has become such an important part of my life that if I don't pray, it's like not getting dressed in the morning. I would never walk around all day without getting dressed.
I need to start each day with prayer. I want to talk to my Heavenly Father before I talk to anyone else. Fellowship with Him has become as much a part of my life as breathing. Needless to say, it is a very important part of my life. If I don't breathe I am in big trouble. Right?
I like to start out each day with three little steps and then start my prayer time.
1.Good morning, God.
2.What would You have me to do today; where would You have me to go?
3.I want You to guide, direct, and lead me today. I want You to be in full control.
We all need to start the day with prayer. That way, if we don't have time during the day and need a prayer answered, we have already done our part. We can trust that God will do His part as well.
There have been times when all I could do was say, "Jesus," because I didn't have time to pray. What a comfort to know that I had already prayed that day. I didn't wait until a need arose. It may have been too late!
I know that my relationship with God needs to be a strong one, if I want Him to answer my prayers.
We should start out each day with Jesus and pray. Our attitude should be as though we are talking with someone very special. Make it personal, just like talking with your best friend. He can be, if you will let Him.
