Day 11 - "Step on the Gas"

Day 11 - "Step on the Gas"

Prayer really is an investment. There is nothing we pray that does not get heard. God hears it all and cares about it all. The important thing is to not stop. The important thing is to step on the gas pedal. If we stop praying, we won’t see healings. If we stop praying, forget seeing signs, wonders and miracles. If we stop praying, we cut off our communication with the One that can change things.

1 Thessalonians 5:17 says, “…pray without ceasing…”

Pray without quitting. What the actual meaning of this is not in pray where you can’t do anything else. It means to be in a constant state of prayer. Always be ready to pray. To be consistent in your prayer life. Many think that if you wake up and pray for 4 hours at a time, then you will be a super spiritual hero. There’s no scripture to back that up. But there is this one we just read. It’s not about prayer chunks. It’s about a consistent prayer life that never stops.

Did you know that 1/3 of Americans never pray? That the decline of prayer since 2007 has gone from 68% to 44%? I don’t want to see what happens when we stop praying. We have to step on the gas, not let up.

What can you do today? What will you invest in your prayer life with God? What do you want to see happen in your life? What do you want to see happen in the community? Do you know how we get there? We pray.

Prayer - “God, shake us! Get us outside of our feelings and thoughts so we get passionate for you again. We need you more than ever. Help us to be a praying people again. Help us to truly acknowledge you in everything we do. We can’t do this without you. Amen."
