Great Bible Teachers are Great Pray-ers

You've heard all the stuff about how you need to pray. You know it's true, too. So it's important that I remind you to be praying.

The question is: "Do you actually pray?"

I suspect that most of us are better at talking about prayer than we are praying. Years ago a friend and mentor of mine told me that when the urge came over him to read about prayer, he just went down to his knees and started praying.

Yes, I know you're busy and your time is limited. You have many responsibilities, after all!

I wish I had more fully learned this truth years ago: The more you have to do, the more you have to pray. Martin Luther wrote a letter to a pastor friend and said, "I have so much to do that I cannot get on without three hours of prayer daily."

So purpose today to take just a little more time for prayer. And tomorrow add to it.
