Praying

Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; - Ephesians 6.14-18

Praying. What a simple statement yet how complicated a matter it can be. We all know that we ought to pray and most of us I think know we ought to pray more, much more, than we do.

Prayer is our supply line for ourselves and for each other. Prayer is our access to headquarters. When troops can’t communicate with the higher up who know what is going on they don’t know what to do. Whether it is by messenger or semaphore or telegraph or radio or telephone or email there must be communication between the commander and his troops.

When we do not communicate with our Commander we too are doomed to fail. We end up cowering in our foxholes with the enemy fire erupting around us and we don’t call in for support. How can we hope to survive?
