Day 6: BUILDING CONSISTENCY IN PRAYER

ACTS. 6:4 Scripture Challenge: John 6

Christians must strive at having effective prayer lives. Prayer is not just a fellowship, it's also a labor. That's why It might be amusing to think we should pray only when we feel like it.

Actually, because prayer doesn't appeal to our minds and senses, our bodies and minds may not enjoy praying and can even rebel against it. “For the flesh lusteth against

the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to

the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.” Gal. 5:17

Many times, we put off praying till the end of the day but by the time we're

through with the activities of the day, we're tired and drowsy and our

thoughts start struggling to concentrate. Funny, as this sounds, it's real.

This is where the labor comes into prayer. This is where the fight is, but it's not a

Fight with devils or men, neither is it a fight with God. It's a fight to keep

yourself on track against the dictates of the flesh.

It takes training and so you must be resolved to stick with your personal

prayer schedule.

Some Christians find it almost impossible to do this simply

because they've not been able to discipline their flesh. They go to work every

day of the week without ever considering getting to work late, much less not going at all. Brother and sister, if you can

train your mind and body to do this then you can train yourself to pray regularly and on time too.

 The challenge is that too many aren't willing to make such a sacrifce for their prayer lives, and that's because they don't know the importance of prayer. But when trouble comes, they're the first to say, “Please, pray for me!” don't depend on

emergency prayers, consistency is key. So many things will try to compete with your prayer time, but there's so much you can achieve on your knees. God's promises over your life can only be enforced in the place of prayer.
