No matter how great the storm, how long the night or how painful the situation might be we must not, we cannot neglect or turn away from prayer. When we turn away from prayer, we are turning away from God. Prayer is the spark that lights the fuse that puts into motion the power of Almighty God. Within the prayer closet one finds comfort, confidence and closeness with the heavenly Father. The heaviness of urgency should weigh upon each of our hearts when it comes to prayer. The best time to pray is now! If we were to wait until we felt like praying we would sparingly if ever pray. Prayer is hope on its knees and power on display. The prayer-less Christian is the cold just going through the motion Christian. This neither pleases the Lord nor adds anything of any value to our walk with the Lord. If we want a fire in our bones and a spiritual skip in our step we will be about the business of prayer. Find a place, set aside the time and become a prayer warrior in the army of the Most High God.
