"Give ear to my words, O LORD; consider my meditation. Hearken
unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I
pray. My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the
morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up."
Psalm 5:1-3

Take Time To Pray

      Most of the commercials, or ads we view on television today are quite ridiculous. Many of them don't even pertain to the product to which they are promoting. This brought to mind, the old black and white TV ads of decades ago, and this one particular ad I saw not so very long ago.

      Perhaps several years ago, there was a television ad which focused on a young woman's face. She was looking down and obviously very busy at the task before her, although what she was doing was not shown. At the same time she was busy with this task she was praying. The television ad's emphasis was on taking time to pray no matter what else we must do during the day (which, by the way, we don't see ads like this on TV any longer).

      In conclusion, as the camera moved away from this young woman's face and down to what she was doing, it became clear that she was diapering her baby. What a lovely picture of how easy it is for us to talk with the Lord!

      Setting some amount of time aside every morning might not work every day for you, but during each twenty-four-hour day we can creatively find a portion of time that is just for God.

      Most of us are so busy during the day that we find it increasingly difficult to set aside an amount of time to spend in prayer ~ not just a quick prayer of thanks, but a time of genuine communication with the Lord.

      How would we feel if God didn't have the time for us each day? God wants this time with us and we need it with Him! There are times we can be alone with the Lord . . . creatively look for them!
 

May prayer be your key in the morning,
and the bolt on your door at night;
May He hear your supplication,
Morning, Noon and Night.
Serving in Love,
Sandy
