PRAY TODAY

WE SAY WE CARE ABOUT OTHERS, BUT DO WE BACK THIS UP IN OUR PRAYER LIFE. WE HEAR OR SEE THOSE IN SERIOUS NEED, DO WE PRAY FOR THEM MORE THAN A SECOND OR TWO. DO WE EVER AGONIZE OR PRAY WITH A SENSE OF URGENCY? WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME WE LOST SLEEP OVER THE PROBLEMS AND CONCERNS OF OTHERS? I HAVE BEEN ASKING MY SELF THESE QUESTIONS A LOT LATELY. DO WE EVER FEEL THE PAIN OF OTHERS? WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR US TO REALLY BECOME PEOPLE OF PRAYER? IN THIS JOURNEY THAT I AM ON, I AM TRYING TO REARRANGE MY PRIORITIES. IT IS A STRUGGLE SOMETIMES AND OFTEN I AM NOT SUCCESSFUL. MY MIND BECOMES PREOCCUPIED WITH OTHER THINGS AND I BATTLE TO CONTROL MY THOUGHTS SO THAT THEY WILL BE MORE FOCUSED ON OTHER PEOPLE INSTEAD OF ME AND MY OWN LITTLE WORLD. I ONCE AGAIN ASK THE LORD TO HELP ME TO BECOME THE PERSON OF PRAYER HE WANTS ME TO BE.
