Relax And Pray

Relax And Pray

This week we continue our summer school of prayer with a lesson on relaxing. Why relaxing? Well, often times Christians view prayer as an exercise in intensity. They feel they have to work up emotions for prayer to be effective. But prayer is not typically energetic and loud. It’s typically quiet and relaxed. Simply reclining on a couch with an open Bible and a heart to connect with God is real prayer that moves the hand of God. Speak to the Lord what’s on your heart, and what comes alive to you as you read the Scriptures. Before you know it, you’ve prayed for 20 or 30 minutes. So relax, and learn to enjoy that quiet place of connection with God. Now that’s something to pray about!
