Prayer

I was driving from my evening class home. It was a very long day  and finally it came to and end. There was a lot going on that day and my brain was about to explode from all of the information that was forcefully pushed into it.

The roads were mostly empty and the sense of serenity was flowing in the air as the day approached the end. I couldn't wait to get home. I decided to turn the radio on to break the static silence in my car; the radio started playing Christmas music. Christmas music has been playing since Thanksgiving so I decided to switch the station to my usual Christian Station 95.1 Freedom FM.

I tuned into the middle of the sermon, a man was talking about a prayer life of a Christian  ...
Of course every Christian needs to have a prayer life, I always pray when I get up, and before I eat, before I go to bed and when I feel blue or happy- I thought

.. and then the preacher said ...
"Don't expect God to be moved by your prayer if you're not moved by it"

Every little thought process that was in my head stopped and I froze... I have been praying, but have I been really talking to God? Did those prayers go anywhere or they were just words coming out of my mouth?

Real prayer takes time.
It's hard to make time in today's flow of things but our priorities have to be in line with God, and taking to Him and having a relationship with our Savior should be the number one priority, high above anything else!

This brings me back to when I was just around 5 years old when my family used to visit my relatives in  this little country house, and where we would have deep conversation about the Bible. I vaguely remember someone saying that prayer is a constant thing that should be happening, that it's like staying on the phone with someone 24/7...

I'll end it here.
