Mind over matter

Paul Enns from Mexico was in and so last night I went to her him speak and talk with him a little. What he spoke on was nothing big. He was speaking on how we as a church make it possible for him as a missionary to do his calling. I noticed however that he had a typical pattern. Several times through out his speaking he talked about our support and saying he prayed about it and it happend. And at one time he said "I was praying about it" then stoped himself and said "of course I was praying about it." That is when it hit me; God was always answering his prayers and providing in miraculous ways. I then realised I lack prayer. I need to be a person who prays. Luckly for me I have found a commitment partner to keep me accountable an gently remind me of my daily focous. Anyway I thought about it and it seemed like a good idea and I said to myself I should do this thing which Paul a man whom I look up to as a spirtual leader has set as a standered. But I only thought about it as a possiblity as a wise idea from a wise man. Then today I went to church and Pastor John another man of major spiritual influence spoke and Pray again came up. This is when I knew; Pray is not just a simple thing that a wise man does. It is not just a good suggestion or a even a command that you only use for a bed time ritual or even a meal time grace. There are many people who do not believe in God and still pray at meal times or before bed. No Pray is God telling you he wants to talk with you. Pray is a command for all times. Pray is important. When you slack off you slack off in your faith; nothing happens without pray. Anyway I realised I have slacked off and need to spark the fire again.
