DENNIS

Good morning everyone. I am Dennis Gossett with Central United Methodist Church. Have you ever tried to kick a bad habit? It can be very difficult. Just as difficult, is trying to start a good habit like exercising and eating right. But, if we stick with it long enough, it becomes easier to do.

This is also true for developing a habit of prayer. The more we do it, the more we desire it. If we make it a habit to pray, then we will find a growing desire to spend more time with God. This habit also creates in us a desire to see God working through people we meet and events we experience.

Without a doubt, prayer has to be the greatest gift that we can receive, because it changes us. It changes our minds about people; it changes our hearts, and it even changes our desires. Prayer strengthens our faith in an unseen God. It brings us into direct communication with the Creator of all things. When it becomes a habit, prayer is like working with your friends all day, but when evening comes, it is nice to just be with them.

If you are not a part of a community of faith, then I invite you to our community at Central United Methodist where we encourage each other through prayer. God bless.
