DON’T FEEL LIKE PRAYING?

By: Linda Kirby/WGON

The most important time to pray is when you least feel like it. You know Satan doesn’t like for us to have a relationship with Jesus, so he will put obstacles in our way to keep us from communing with the Lord. You might find you are too depressed today to talk with the Lord ...THAT’S the time you really need Him. "And the LORD, He is the One who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed" (Deuteronomy 31:8). You might feel too tired or sleepy to spend any time with Jesus. "When you lie down, you will not be afraid; Yes, you will lie down and your sleep will be sweet" (Proverbs 3:24).You might feel like He doesn’t listen to you, anyway, so why bother. Oh, He hears your every word, your every thought. "It will also come to pass that before they call, I will answer; while they are still speaking, I will listen" (Isaiah 65:24). Just because you don’t see it or know it, it doesn’t mean He isn’t listening. "Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us" (1 John 5:14). Jesus will do HIS job, you do YOURS ... spend time with Him no matter how much you don’t feel like it.
