Prayer

Psalm 63:1 (NKJ)
O God, You are my God; early will I seek You; my soul thirsts for You; my flesh longs for You in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water.

Psalm 5:3 (NKJ)
My voice You shall hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning I will direct it to You, and I will look up.

In college I took a course on World Religions. It was an interesting study. Did you know that Muslims salah (pray) 5 times a day? Salah, Muslims prepare themselves by performing Wudu (Ablution) which involves cleaning the hands, face, arms, head and feet.

Some would call that radical. I call it devotion. I wonder how much stronger Christians we would be if we prayed 5 times a day? Truthfully I think we would see dramatic changes in our life if we just prayed once a day.

The Psalmist David knew the importance of communicating with God. As you think about setting your New Year’s resolutions, consider praying each day. Let’s be a people of prayer!
