"Learning to Pray"
Scripture Reading:
James 4:2 (HCSBO) You reveal the path of life to me; in Your
presence is abundant joy; in Your right hand are eternal pleasures.
Devotion And Meditation:
Do you know who prayer intimidates the most? Christians! A lost
person who wants to be saved can pray a prayer of repentance and forgiveness
without giving much thought to form or style. He or she simply cries out
to God, and asks for what is needed. many Christians do not have because
they do not ask. They do not know how to pray because they do not know how
to pray! George Beverly Shea had a dream one night that he was in Heaven. As
the Lord was showing him around, Bev says they came to a large room filled with
seemingly endless compartments, each one bearing a persons name. he then
asked, what the compartments were, and God replied, " These belong to every
person who has ever lived and been my servant." He then asked to see his
compartment and God did so. As they opened it and looked through its
contents together, Bev was overwhelmed. It was full of wonderful
things. Fabulous things. It was literally a treasure chest of
blessings. "I don't understand, " Bev said. "these things are
fantastic, but are you sure they're mine? I don't remember having any of
them." God nodded in agreement. "You didn't have them, but I would
have given them to you if only you'd have asked". We do not have because we do not ask. In other words, we don't know
how to pray. But the secret to prayer is this: we learn to pray by
praying. When Jesus' disciples asked Him to teach them to pray, He did not
give them a step by step how to list. He said to them, "Pray, then in this
way...". How do we learn to pray? By praying. Begin
today. Begin now. Ask.
