Prayer for Christians is a means and moment of daily renewal. It is a kind of spiritual “recharging” that in the long run is more important than any of the other things that insist on our immediate attention. Paul describes the experience, “though outwardly we are wasting away, inwardly we are being renewed day by day“. (2 Corinthians 4:16) When we pray, we remember the subjects that ought to be foremost in our minds. ( Our Father, His kingdom, His help, His forgiveness etc). When we pray we regain an eternal perspective on life and, as a consequence of this renewed mind, the inflowing power of God that is necessary for living. My prayer for you today is that you will seek the Lord in prayer. Do not rush this time! If we need daily bread, we also need daily renewal.
