"Pray without ceasing." 1 Thessalonians 5:17.
Prayer does not use up time. Prayer saves time. Prayer adds to our quality of life. Prayer helps us to be present and it increases our spiritual awareness. Prayer helps us to be participants in life versus spectators. “Sometimes we think we are too busy to pray. That also is a great mistake, for praying saves us time. If we know that there are certain things that distract us from spending time with God, let us avoid it earnestly. Let us try, as much as possible, not to be put off the scent in prayer. Satan's object will be to distract the mind, to throw it off the rails, to divert its aim, but let us resolve before God, we will not turn aside from following hard after him.” (Charles Spurgeon) Dear Lord, we run to you today because we yearn to be in your presence. Yet, there are times when we prioritize people and things over you. Strenghten us to “be persistent and devoted to prayer, being alert and focused in our prayer life with an attitude of thanksgiving.” (Colossians 4:2) Don’t be too busy to pray! GiGi❤️
