So you don’t feel like praying …
NOVEMBER 25
Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Romans 8:26
There’s an old song with the refrain “Just keep on praying ‘til light breaks through.” When you don’t feel like praying, that’s when you need to. You need to pray until you do feel like praying.
You see, you’re not praying by yourself. The Spirit is praying through you and for you, helping to present your petitions to the Father — petitions that perhaps you yourself are not even capable of expressing.
Do not approach God with your hands full of the brass of your emotions. Rather, approach Him with hands and heart full of the sweet incense of His worth. Just keep praying.
How is your prayer life? Do you say grace before meals and squeeze in a quick prayer before you drop off to sleep each night? Then you wonder why your prayers aren’t being answered and your walk with God is so anemic. Take some time today to talk to the Lord. Someone has wisely said, “The word ‘love’ is spelled t-i-m-e.” God does business with those who mean business.
