By the end of January how many people still have that resolution in tacked? I know I'm rubbish at keeping them, and mine always seems to start on January 2nd just to enjoy one last day of the holiday.
What do people do as a resolution? Well for most it's giving up smoking or drinking, a new diet, or starting a new fitness regime. Well these are all positive steps into a new year and new beginning.
I was wondering what I could try in the new year that would be positive and maybe rewarding for me and for others. Then I was inspired by UCB and thought that maybe 1 hour of prayer each day is a great idea for a resolution, so I decided to look into it.
I'm not the best at praying, I find it hard to concentrate but if I can try and do either an hour in the evenings or 5 to 10 minuets at different times during the day I may be able to achieve it.... Then I read this...
Prayer itself is an art which only the Holy Spirit can teach us. Pray for prayer until you can really pray. (C.H Spurgeon)
So I guess this is a great place to start, also when told about tongues a few months back I may even ask for that ability as then I know my prayers will be full of great things.
1 John 5: 14-15 says.
This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.
Ok finding the time, courage and faith is gonna be hard but I'm sure if I add that to my prayer list I find time even in the busiest days.
Feel free to join me for what I'm calling PRAYER 365, or send prayer requests to help fill an hour a day.
