I was recently cleaning out my book shelves when I came across an old book that looked interesting. It’s called With Christ by Andrew Murray. It’s a daily devotional book, 31 short chapter, all about prayer. Prayer is one of the areas in my walk with Christ where I know that I need to be more intentional. So I’m starting this book. It’s old, written before TV and Radio and all the distractions of the world today, so I thought this would be a great resources.
The first chapter did not disappoint. This quote was worth the time already.
Jesus never taught his disciples how to preach, only how to pray. He did not speak much of what was needed to preach well, but much of praying well. TO know how to speak to God is more than knowing how to speak to man. Not power with men, but power with God is the first thing.
Such a needed reminder for my life. Prayer is so important to God because he values our relationship with him. I believe that God’s opinion of me is more important than anyone else’s opinion. Prayer is one of the ways that I can build my relationship with God.
Jesus teach us how to pray.
Jesus teach me how to pray.
Good stuff.
