Hows Your Prayer Life?

12 During those days He (Jesus) went out to the mountain to pray and spent all night in prayer to God. Luke 6:12 (HCSB)

HOW'S YOUR PRAYER LIFE?
That's the question I have been asking myself lately, and I am disappointed with the answer. Yes, I have time with God each day, and yes I even have time in prayer with my family and with my wife. I even get up early regularly to meet with others to pray. But really... How is my prayer life?

I don't mean activity. Being involved in prayer activity is a part of it.

Think about it like this. if I said "How's your diet?" You could recount for me all the times you have eaten over the last few days. But what about the content of those meals? have you been eating healthy? etc.

What about the content of your prayer life? Are you going deeper with God? Am I? I feel the need to go deeper, to make my prayer life more than it is .

Our church is providing some opportunities to do that in the coming month. If you are a part of our church - take advantage of it. If not, ask your pastor how your church can go deeper in prayer.

Ideas

What do you do with ideas that you get? Do you ever wonder - was that from God? or just some crazy thought? or both?

How can we in the church tap into God's crazy ideas and do what he wants us to do?

We need to pray!

And we need to have people who are willing to hear you talk about crazy ideas - and not be critical.

let's listen to each other, genuinely pray about it, and talk about it some more.
