I am grateful that I have access to the very presence of God almighty at any time of the day. Prayer is truly a gift that I should never take for granted...it is power....it is peace....it is joy.....it is release...it is tender communion with my Savior.
I am guilty of distracted prayer, at times. It is deeply saddening when I catch myself in the act. I love the way Charles Spurgeon puts it ---"What should we think of a petitioner who, while being blessed by an audience with the King is then so UNfocussed as to be playing with a feather or chasing a fly?".
I need more sincerity in my prayers. Earnest conviction from a genuine, devoted heart that seeks to pray in tune with the Holy Spirits prompting. That is impossible if I am distractedly half-hearted in my prayer time.
LORD, give me Your grace to honor You by coming into Your presence with an undivided heart that recognizes the privilege of being ushered into Your presence.
"Fervent prayer, like a cannon stationed at the gates of heaven, makes them fly open." -James 5:16, KJV
