A few weeks ago I attended the C&MA Metro District Prayer Conference which is held annually this time of the year. I share three thoughts on prayer from that event. Which one stands out to you today?
1. “God is the only one who hears and is able to attend to what he hears”. Professor David McGrew
2. “A prayer-less soul is a Christ-less soul. Prayer is the lisping of the believing infant, the shout of the fighting believer, the requiem of the dying saint falling asleep in Jesus. It is the breath, the watchword, the comfort, the strength, the honor of a Christian”. Charles Spurgeon
3.“Our prayer must not be self-centered. It must arise not only because we feel our own need, as a burden we must lay on God, but also because we are so bound up in love for our fellow men that we feel their need as accurately as our own. To make intersession for men is the most powerful and practical way in which we can express our love for them". John Calvin

WowPat!!! What powerful points. I felt a quickening in myspirit as I read them. It is indeed time that we got back to the basics of life-prayer. Please pray with me that God would give me the heart of prayer, especially intercessory prayer; and to live a life worth of this vocation. I know that I am where I am today because of the effectual fervent prayer of the saints. One of my favorite sciptures is Romans 8. These men were such visionaries. I so admire you and Chloe. You both have been a blessing to me.
Grace and Peace,
