 Jan 28 - Vignettes on Prayer

 

     Over the last little while we have been small vignettes or pictures of prayer.  These little snapshots are little windows into the great house of prayer.  Many have called prayer a mighty house where the holy meets the natural.  Prayer is that point of contact with the supernatural.  In prayer you invite the Holy God into your life and situation.  Prayer is spirit to Spirit communication.  Luke 11:1, gives us a little insight into the life of the prayer life of Jesus.  When His disciples saw how Jesus prayed they wanted to learn how to do it as well.  Prayer is however not a formula or mantra.  It is more than words and phrases.  It is natural communication with the divine.  Prayer is secret and public.  It is powerful and effective.  James says the prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.  Jesus did prayer to perfection and even though we can only dream of having a prayer life like Jesus.  Practice does make perfect.  So today practice prayer and the more you do it the better you become.
