RESULTS GUARANTEED We Can Help! (4th & Final Part of the Prayer Series) We are busy people, and there are a variety o f t h i n g s pulling our a t t e n t i o n i n m a n y d i f f e r e n t d i r e c t i o n s . Unfortunately, it causes us to neglect what is most impor- tant. This includes spending quality, focused time with our families or being stewards over our health. In fact, there is a particularly important area that people often overlook - and that is spending time in prayer. Despite our neglect, the bible admonishes us to pray. In Co- lossians 4:2, Apostle Paul states, "Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart." Also, in Ephe- sians 6:18, Paul says, "Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere." The following poem I wrote entitled, "Take Time To Pray", illustrates the priority of prayer in our lives. I got up this morning in a big rush, no time to really pray. I didn't even thank Jesus for letting me see a brand new day. I didn't slow down, because I have a lot to do. I must get to work; for the bills are due. I got in my car, oh no, it won't start. I ask myself, "Why is this day so hard?" I still haven't said, "Lord I need you." Thinking only of the things I have to do. At the job, my co-workers rub me the wrong way, Adding to the list of burdens for the day. Back home again, I try talking to my children and spouse. But they won't listen, where is the peace in my house? I fall to sleep - too tired to pray. I have a disturbing nightmare; thank God it is finally day. I asked, "Lord, why did all this happen to me?" He answered, "My child let me tell you the key." "If you want to have a Jesus-filled day." "Abide in my Presence and take time to pray." 10 WAYS TO MAKE PRAYER A PRIORITY • Talk to the Lord before you get out of bed. • Spend time with God, before everyone gets up • Spend time with God, after ev- eryone goes to bed The Priority of Prayer DANYALE PATTERSON • Pray on your way to work or when you are alone in the car • Make your lunch break a quiet time • Do communion at dinnertime • Get a prayer partner • Join a weekly prayer ministry • Utilize a devotional • Do a prayer walk PRAY THIS PRAYER: "Father, you alone are God - the only one who is worthy of my praise and the one who does wonders and mighty miracles. Forgive me for neglecting to get still and pray. It's a privi- lege and honor to spend time with you. Lord, I have ears to hear what you want to say, and an open heart to receive from you. Remind me to intercede for others. Infuse my life with your presence. May my prayers be set before you like incense. In Jesus' name I pray - Amen."
