Back to the Basics 365

DAY 167 OF 365

We should pray earnestly and fervently. Our prayer time should not be a “religious exercise,” and it should not be shallow words that we simply repeat every day without thinking of their meaning. Imagine if we had the same conversation with a friend every single day. That relationship would not grow; it would probably become stale. Let us not be this way in our conversations with the Lord. In James 5:16, we find that an effective prayer is one that is prayed with fervency.

Reflect on your prayer time lately. Do you pray passively or earnestly, out of religious duty or from your heart?
