Is personal prayer a part of your life?
If we're going to be followers of Jesus we need to talk to God right? We can talk to God in a variety of different ways but one of these ways is personal prayer. Ever heard of 'quiet time' or 'devotions', well that's what some people call personal prayer. It's basically the time you spend with God alone, some people even call it 'meditation' with God.
Think about these questions;
How many hours a week do you watch TV?
How many hours a week are you online?
How many hours a week do you spend with friends?
How many hours a week do you spend on the toilet? (!)
How many hours a week do you spend in personal prayer?
This week pay really close attention to what do you spend the most time on and who do you spend the most time with... How does this reflect what is the most important part of your life?
This exercise is not intended to make you feel guilty but just to have a really good think about where you spend the most time and energy on any given week. Dedicating a portion of your time to personal prayer isn't easy for anyone, it's something we've gotta learn. We're going to explore this over the next few weeks.
Think about it, PRAY about it.
