give myself to prayer

I really believe that most of us don't understand the power and importance
of prayer...continuous prayer. I read a book once where a missionary from
the Philippines practiced prayer throughout the day, second by second. That
might be a little extreme, but I think that the distractions that we
encounter daily are keeping us from the opportunity to talk with our Father.
We get in the car and we turn on the radio. I have tried to make it a
practice that before I touch the radio, I will pray for some immediate
concerns...my children, extended family, staff, and close friends. Usually,
I find myself reaching my destination without ever turning the radio on...

Cultivating a life of prayer takes discipline...a spiritual discipline that
is sorely needed today. Listen to what David said in Psalm 109:4

"In return for my love they accuse me, but I give myself to prayer."

What an amazing thing to say...David had cultivated a life of prayer...he
knew where his power and protection came from...have a great weekend...time
to read, fly, and help my daughter move in...oh if you didn't take the test
on perception, please look at last nights blog entry!
