God is in the TV..?

Satanic shock rocker Marilyn Manson once declared that 'God is in the TV', because he saw Christians give two hours to God on Sunday, but spent countless hours watching television during the week. Is he right?

Prayer is a word to describe talking to God. You can pray lots of different ways, but it is always communication with your Creator.

Luke 6:12-13 says

The Twelve Apostles

¹² One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God. ¹³ When morning came, he called his disciples to him and chose twelve of them, whom he also designated apostles: 

Matthew 26:36-39 says 

Gethsemane

³⁶ Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” ³⁷ He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled. ³⁸ Then he said to them, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.”
³⁹ Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.” 

Jesus was one with God, but He still seemed to pray a lot of the time. How did Jesus pray?

Even though God is everywhere Jesus went to specific places to pray alone. Where did Jesus pray?

Did he pray a little or a lot? How long did Jesus pray for?

Hmmm. Jesus prayed all the time; He especially prayed alone before he had to make important decisions or face tough times. Jesus found a place where He was comfortable and alone with God. 

So if Jesus needed to spend time in prayer alone then we DEFINITELY need to do the same... 

How do you feel most comfortable praying? Where do you feel most comfortable praying? Is there a specific place you go to where you feel freedom to pray and connected to God?

Think about it. PRAY about it...
