When We Do NOT Pray..... (5.16.21)

 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from GOD. 
Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows GOD
- 1 John 4:7

Fellow Faith Believers,
Prayer is communing, spending time with and, at it's core, communicating with GOD.

What does it say to Him when we fail to find time to talk with Him?

Do we say, by our lack of prayer, that we are not at all interested in spending time with the Lord or hearing anything from Him? When we do not pray, we move away from any possibility of intimacy with the Lord our GOD, Christ Jesus and GOD's Holy Spirit.

When prayerlessness is prevalent in our lives, it is an open gateway to many things.  Many things that GOD did not intend, nor does He Want for us.  'Prevalent prayerlessness' also means that one is guilty of failing to love one another.

There is scarcely any greater way to demonstrate love than to pray for someone. In Godly Intercession, we lift the needs of another to GOD and then watch (and wait, trustingly) as He Moves to meet the needs, heal the wounds, change the heart and provide for the one we are praying for.

Through prayer, bodies are healed, families are knit together, individuals are saved, and churches are revived. When we withhold prayer, on behalf of others, we demonstrate hardened hearts and a failure to love them enough to bring their needs before Our Loving Father.

Thank GOD for what you have,
Trust GOD for what you need.

~ Prayer ~
Lord GOD,
My desire is to love You deeply, and to
     spend time developing my relationship
     with You. 

Draw me to Your Heart, so that I Will
     love others the way that You Love them. 

May I be ever vigilant and extremely mindful to
     pay attention, so that I never pass up all the
     various opportunities You give me - and that
     are presented before me - to bring others
     before You, in prayer.

Amen
