“Spend 15 Minutes in Prayer”

Today’s Challenge is chosen for one purpose:  to urge us to intentionally seek time with God.  Although we should consider prayer as an every-day discipline, it is fitting to begin this Holy Week by talking with God.

Fifteen minutes in prayer today is not a tall task.  Not having enough discretionary time won’t work as an excuse.  Nor will a lack of knowledge, experience, or understanding.  Prayer is probably the simplest task we can accomplish on any day. 

Praying to the LORD does not mean that we’ve given up on a situation or admitted defeat in something.  Pray does not infer that we are weak or unqualified to assist in a situation.  Instead, prayer is one more tool at our disposal.  Once we learn how to use it, prayer quickly becomes the most powerful helper that we can access.

There’s no wrong way to pray, except, of course, unless we don’t pray at all!  Give 15 minutes in prayer to the LORD and consider making it a regular part of each day!

“Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.”  (Ephesians 6:18, NLT)
