"Now it is required that those who have been given a
trust must prove faithful."
1 Corinthians 4:2
Dear Christian,
You know whether or not this letter is addressed to
you. Christians are those of us who wear
the name of Christ, are called disciples, are known as students of the word,
are saved, have accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.
How faithful are you?
Faithful to what, you may be thinking. Great question. Today's focus is -- how faithful are you in prayer?
Are you a person of prayer?
Test your "selfie". On a scale
of 1-10, 10 high, rate yourself on the question -- how faithful are you in prayer?
(____) Be honest, be very honest.
If God were rating your faithfulness in prayer on that same scale, what
would His rating be?
Prayer is talking to God.
Prayer is having a conversation with God -- i.e., talking to God and
then listening to Him. What kinds of
things do you say to God? Prayer may be
praise, worship, thanksgiving, fellowship, petitions, making known to God the
desires of your heart, reminding God of His promises to you, interceding on
behalf of others, and more. Prayer also
involves listening to God, taking the time to be quiet and still so as to hear
from Him. Pray all the time, pray
continually, pray on every occasion, pray without ceasing, pray in every season. Pray using the Word of God. Pray using God's Word on purpose.
How faithful are you in prayer? Now is the time to become more faithful in
prayer. Go ahead, get started. Watch God "do
exceedingly abundantly above all you can ask or imagine according to His power
at work in you" (see Ephesians 3:20).
