| | prayer, by definition curtesy of thefreedictionary.com, means a fervent
request or petition to God, an act of communion with God.
last night i wasn't in a very prayerful mood so i sat up for awhile
talking to God...u know, that was the 1st time in my life i actually
talked to Him like a friend...i realised that all this while, even
though i've been singing "Jesus, u are my best friend" i haven't
actually been treating Him like one...though i thought i was, i
realised i wasn't. i've been using Him like an atm card...when i'm
scared, i'll withdraw some courage, but just enough for that situation.
when i'm tempted, i'll withdraw some strength, but just enough...when
stupid, wisdom it is...sounds selfish but i think alot of us do it.
praying daily, doing devotions, singing praises while walking down the
street, serving in ministry...it's a typical christian's life. not that
it's unhealthy but how can u say Jesus is your friend let alone best
friend if u don't treat Him like one. u know, i personally take the
time and effort to drag my lazy arse off bed to go out with friends,
catch up and find out how life's been like for them...that's about 2-4
hrs in a day but do u spend that time asking your friends to buy u
meals & movies & clothes?? i should think not...i'm not saying
that we should sit down for 4 hrs a day asking God how's the weather up
there but maybe take a few minutes to tell him how your day's been.
