“You help us by your prayers.’ [2 Corinthians 1:11]
Spiritual work is taxing work. Praying requires attention and time, which flesh and blood do not enjoy. Few people devote their time to prayer when earthly duty calls.
We sometimes become lax in our praying, and do not realize the peril until the damage has been done. Hasty devotions make weak faith, feeble convictions, and questionable piety.
To be little with God is to be little for God. To cut the praying short makes the whole Christian character short, miserable and careless.
Dear Lord God, help me not to become lax in my prayers. I want to spend more time with You, so that I can do more for You. Amen. [The Power of Prayer]
