Pray for our friend, Pastor David Chotka.
As we're reading through his 50 Days of Prayer,
he's been hospitalized with a severe infection
and low white blood cell count
Pray at all times and on every occasion
in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers
for all Christians everywhere.
Ephesians 6:18
Today in 50 Days of Prayer, Pastor David essentially asks this question ...
Considering the principles that lead to effective prayer, what must be done for each person in your study group [for you] to become more effective in walking in Christ's power?
The heading today said PRAY - indeed, pray for our friend, David. Did you really stop and really pray.
That's one of the most important steps to growing in prayer. Actually praying. Growth in this discipline occurs through an ongoing conversation with God - by praying on more and more occasions, until it's at "all times and on every occasion."
When you boil it all down, prayer is really time and attention. It is listening and being quiet. It is learning to include him in every decision. It's not being eloquent; it's being real.
I know my next step. It's sitting more and doing less. It's quietness instead of noise. It's trusting God to work, instead of assuming that it all rests on me.
How about you? What's your next step.
In Christ's Love,
a guy who sees his hand
reaching out over his friend
and praying for healing
