PERSONAL PRAYER

"Praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints." Ephesians 6:18 AMP

It seems that we are constantly being barraged with images of battles being fought around the world. There hardly seems to be a day that goes by without the news telling us of one problem or the other that is being fought over race, religion, power, territory, resources and many more. There is a battle being fought today and it has nothing to do with one race or Country; It is a battle that every Christian will have to fight against evil and one sure way to fight is through prayer (your personal prayer time with God).

Don't take your personal prayer time lightly. Prayer is a time of fellowship with the Lord, and you must keep that relationship aflame, putting into consideration that Jesus said that without Him, you can do nothing. The Lord must have your attention and should be able to talk to you. We live in an age where there are all kinds of communication gadgets around us through which people seek to communicate with one another. Don't let all your communications with people rob you of your fellowship with God. You need to pray and spend time with God regularly. Let this become your custom. When people lack constant fellowship with God, they burn out but as Christians, we don't burn out here, rather we burn on for God. Learn to talk to God about everything that concerns you.

Declare This: Dear Lord, I know You always want to have fellowship with me. I've made up my mind not to allow my environment dictate my fellowship with You in Jesus name Amen.
