Continuing with thoughts about prayer, consider: “Prayer is not asking. Prayer is putting oneself in the hands of God, at His disposition and listening to His voice in the depth of our heart.” –Mother Teresa.
So today, I pray: Abba, take my heart, my hands and my heels. Be the driving force of my mind and motives, my work and worship, and my talents and travels. Lead me in all of these for Your glory. Amen.

Continuing with Jesus’ instruction regarding prayer, notice that He explains what we should do: go into your room, close the door and pray. Our time in prayer is not for show. It is not a parade. Instead, prayer is a very private and personal time between God and us. David Jeremiah said this of prayer: Neglect of private prayer is the locust which devours the strength of the church. So may we determine to go to the spiritual gym of prayer and work out often, regaining strength for the situations life may present to us today.

Did you notice that Jesus said ‘when’ you pray, and not ‘if’ you pray? And if you ever have difficulty with what to pray about, consider this:
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7 niv
