Are we really going to be people of prayer? Mark 1:35 says of Jesus, “Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed.” Are we willing to have a life of prayer like the one that Jesus had—where we get up early, get away from the rat race of life, and spend time devoted to God in prayer? In the early verses of Matthew 6, Jesus taught His disciples that they should not be like hypocrites who stand on the street corners to pray long prayers with big words just so they can be heard by men. Jesus said that instead, a person should go into his or her inner room to pray to God. That is what prayer ought to be. It should be a time when we express our love and devotion to God, as well as a time when we can express to God our needs in this life. Lets continuing praying for our families, that God keeps our families together with Jesus in the middle of our relationships. Amen.
