The reality of prayer for the believer and its long term effects is what many never consider. They would prefer the short term thrill, and miss the eternal rewards. What a travesty of Christian discipleship and practice!!!!
In Scripture prayer is totally a lifestyle (Philippians 4:6; Ephesians 6:18) and a grace (Psalm 145:18; Hebrews 4:16) given us by God to keep us ever before Him (I Kings 8:28-30).
May that grace dominate our lives. To be ever before Him!!!
May that lifestyle be the practice of our lives. To be ever before Him!!!
These two have a long term and eternal affect!
