Pray
Or Stray!
Matthew 6:5-8
For
many,
prayer
is simply irrelevant. Often we are
plagued with wandering
thoughts that fuels toleration of
complicity with the world. Ultimately,
Christians who learn to pray biblically
are very sure of
God's Will. God's Will is not an
alternative that we consider in a
catalogue of options.
All
true and spiritual prayers are virtues
conceived by the instigating influence
of the indwelling Holy Spirit apart from
which all we can attain to is self-pity.
Don't tolerate wallowing in self-pity.
It is the hall mark of absolute
selfishness of which is the compelling
justification why we will not trust God
with all our heart. The challenge to
pray is both perpetual and very personal
with God. He determines to root us
deeply in His affection for us (1 John
3:1). The closet of prayer is our
fortress for change that breeds a
perception of the grace of God (Hebrews.
4:16). Amen!
Sincerely, Dr. Arthur Belanger
