Good Morning: A Minimal Devotional

DAY 14 OF 31

Prayer

Good morning.


I wished I had many more days to write on this one.

Without touching on other types of prayer, the one I want to meditate on today is the prayer that we do in our personal secret place. Having that time and space that we go to daily allows us to draw closer to God. Found in prayer is breath, joy, power, direction, peace, and more. Essentially, it’s communion with the Lord. Communion is an exchange. We give, He gives. Time with Him is of highest importance. If we miss this, we’ve missed everything.

Oftentimes, we only go to God with requests or frustrations, and we miss the life found in Him. We make it one-way. Yes, we should go to God as we are, but know we don’t have to remain as we are. Prayer is a two-way street. Again, there should be an exchange that happens. I walk in one way and out the other. No, our problems might not disappear externally, at least immediately, but internally, we will leave with greater clarity, courage, and peace. Only by the Spirit of God (Zechariah 4:6). What an honor it is to have such instant access.

What is one step you can take to further your prayer life?

The Good Morning devotional is a simple, minimal, yet insightful 31-day journey. With each day hosting a new topic, my desire for these writings is for you to begin each day encouraged, challenged, and incited to act.
