"In those days he departed to the mountain to pray, and he spent the night in prayer to God." Luke 6:12
How is your prayer life? Great question to ask yourself this morning. I think about my own prayer life and God knows it can be better. The night Jesus spent in prayer was too determine who the 12 apostles would be. Who was going to carry on the mission. An important decision for Jesus to make. Do we present life changing decisions to God, discuss it with Him and then just sit still and listen? Telling God the answer isn't listening to Him, it is deciding for yourself. Give God time to respond. Another point to ponder this morning is once Jesus & God chose the 12, it wasn't instant results & happiness. The decision was only the beginning so remember Jesus had many trials to face with those they chose but God was there to help. Listen to God, find a quiet spot and walk together.
Dear Yahweh, I make lots of decisions each day, help me slow down to involve You in those decisions. Help me sit still and listen, when trials come help me see You there leading the way and not I getting frustrated with the results. Show me where I make wrong decisions and help me correct them. Prayers for those who make hasty decisions may they get God involved and insure He is in agreement. Bless this day Lord and Thank You.
Mary, Queen Mother, pray for us.
