MAGNIFICENT PRAYER BY NICK HARRISON
Oh, love the LORD, all you His saints!
For the LORD preserves the faithful,
And fully repays the proud person.
Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart,
All you who hope in the LORD.
Psalm 31:23-24
We must bear in mind that mere resolutions to
take more time for prayer and to conquer reluctance
to pray will not prove lastingly effective unless
there is a wholehearted and absolute surrender to
the Lord Jesus Christ. A. E. Richardson
Pray About It: Many times we begin the new year with
resolutions to be more faithful in prayer. By
January 20, we'll have a good idea if the resolution
will be kept. If the promise was made as a legalistic gesture, it will ultimately fail. But if
it was a result of "wholehearted and absolute surrender to the Lord Jesus Christ," it will succeed.
If your decision was the former, it can still be turned into the latter. Be honest with God. Ask Him
to renew your passion for prayer. It will begin
with a renewed passion for Him.
The place you give Jesus Christ in your life
determines the place you give prayer.
