The joy of prayer is
what every believer should never deny his or herself every day. I can’t imagine
what I will be missing without this joy, the joy of speaking in tongues long
before others start rising from their beds.
It opens my eyes to
see what others don’t see, it puts a spring to my steps, and lights up my face
with a divine glow. Whether it’s evident to the physical eyes or not, there is
a fire burning in my eyes.
That joy when
scriptures begin to find expression in your lips forming a behavior for you for
the day. That joy of knowing its going to be alright because you got on your
knees and stayed there before GOD.
I love praying in the
morning, because it gives me an opportunity to avoid a lot of time wasters and
irrelevant discussions and involvements through the day.
When it comes to
prayer am still a novice because I know not what to pray as I ought but thank
GOD for the Holy Spirit that makes intercession for me with groaning which
cannot be uttered so I can have an utterance in my conversations with men and
when I am teaching or preaching in church even in the classroom.
I love praying in the
Holy Spirit, because this is where I know I will not make mistakes because the
Holy Spirit does not make mistakes.
Every day I learn how not to use my brain to
direct the prayer focus, direction, sequence and even the intensity but on how
to simply allow the one who is praying to pray and I speak as He gives the
utterance.
Give your life a lift
as we explore the estimable joys of prayer again. Isaiah 12:3 says “with joy shall
ye draw water out of the wells of salvation”
