I am now 52 years old. I became a Christian when I was 14. For 38 years I have been growing in my faith. There have been times when I felt like I’ve been declining in my faith. I, like every Christian, have had ups and downs in my faith journey. After 38 years I feel like I’m finally getting a little bit of grasp on the significance of prayer. Sometimes we think prayer is spending all of our time talking to God. Certainly prayer involves talking to God. At the same time, it also involves setting with God. I think it’s important to have some setting time each day. My setting time involves making a cup of coffee and going to my recliner with my Bible and other books. I will pray about my day ahead and my feelings towards God. I will pray about anything else that comes to my mind. Then I will read a passage out of E. M. Bounds, Power Through Prayer. As I slowly read, I talk to the Lord about what I’m reading. I then read the daily devotion and scripture suggestion from Paul David Tripp’s, New Morning Mercies. I do not get in a hurry, I set with the Lord. I commune with Jesus. When I fail in doing this, I don’t beat myself up. I just shake it off and commence the next day. I have found that my prayers have changed over the years from getting things from God to getting God. This thought has revolutionized how I pray. You don’t have to do it the way I do it, but let me challenge you to take some time every day to sit with God make your primary objective, getting God not getting things from God. I’m not saying don’t ask for things. What I saying is let’s put more time focused on getting God.
