“I will therefore that men pray everywhere,
lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting” (1 Timothy 2:8)
As a Christian, prayer is your life’s
work, and the best way to learn to pray is to pray. It’s not enough to pray
only when you feel like it; culture yourself to do it whether or not you feel
like. Jesus said in Luke 18:1, “…men ought always to pray, and not to faint”
He didn't say, “men ought always to pray when they feel like!”
Moreover, you have the power to decide
what you want to do, so choose to pray. Take for example, Paul’s admonition to
Timothy in 2 Timothy 4:2: “Preach the word; be instant in season, out of
season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.” Here,
the Spirit of God teaches us something important, letting us know that whether
or not we feel like it, in every season, we ought to preach the Gospel.
The
same thing applies with prayer; you pray in season and out of season!So there’s no excuse not to pray. Make
a decision to pray always, and God will hear and answer you.
