TIM Good morning, I’m Tim Wise, Sanctuary Choir Director at Central. This morning, I want to talk to you about your prayer life. The Bible offers so much guidance on prayer: “Don’t be anxious, but rather lift your prayers to God.” “Pray without ceasing.” “Confess your sins to one another and pray for one another so that you may be healed.” How often do you pray? Do you pray more now than when you were a child? When I was a child, we prayed constantly and regularly, but as an adult, it takes more willpower and dedication without a parent there to guide and encourage you. What kinds of things are you praying for? Praying for things that seem to go against the will of God may end you up somewhere you don’t wish to be. Think about things THAT are of the utmost importance and pray for those. Finally, what can you do differently in your prayer life? If you answer is nothing, I promise you are fooling yourself. Everyone can adjust their prayer life to be better. Dedicate yourself to constant and intentional prayer. Pray with others. Pray for others. Pray for yourself. “Ask and it will be given to you. Seek and you will find. Knock and the door will be opened to you.
