Inconvenience

Inconvenience

Friends, if there’s anything I’ve learned about prayer over the years it’s that it’s almost never convenient. Whether it’s a devotional time alone, or pre-service prayer before church or a weeknight gathering with others, something always seem to come up. It can seem too hot or cold to get out of the house, or too rainy or snowy to make the drive. It can feel overwhelming to rush from work, to prepping dinner, to kid duties, to you name it. The fact is—it’s hard to pray. It’s hard because it’s rewarding and eternally significant. Let me encourage you today to press through all the difficulties that arise when it comes to prayer. All those inconveniences will eventually seem so small when God moves in response to your persevering faith. Now that’s something to pray about!
