Prayer

So often I neglect to pray. When I do, it's usually after something that God has placed in my life because I've been drifting away and haven't been by to visit with him in a while.

I've been taught that prayer is one of the greatest priveleges we as Christians have, since we no longer need a priest to pray for us and offer sacrifices, we have direct access to God.

But not only is prayer a privilege, this Burmese orphan helped me realize that prayer can be a delight. It's simply talking to our Father. Sharing with him our concerns and asking for advice, but also running to him, as a child runs to her daddy when he gets home from work, to share the latest "A", art project, or other joy.

LORD, teach me to pray like these children in poverty. Help me to see past my "things" to take delight in the One thing that really matters!
