Morning Manna by Rufus Parker - 14 July 2021

 

Watch and Pray

 

And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour? Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.(Matthew 26:40-41)

 

Today’s Morsel:  One of the surest ways to test your spiritual growth is to test your prayer life.  Do you complain because your pastor asks you to be at church prayer?  Do you become tense and fearful when they start to take prayer requests and you think they may call on you to pray?  Do you hesitate to pray for your food in public?  When someone asks you to pray about a situation, do you tell them let us pray right now or do you say, “I will pray for you?”  Prayer must be a Christian’s joy button. Being given an opportunity to intercede on behalf of someone else should cause excitement in our lives.  Most people who are depressed and stressed can change that feeling if they pray. Jesus always began his day with prayer.  Marriages fall apart because couples will not pray. If we do not watch and pray, we will not stay.

 

Sing: Someone is praying for you, someone is praying for you, when you feel all alone, and your heart would break in two, remember someone is praying for you.

 

Thought For Today. Try early morning prayer and your day will go better.
