Whatever it is that keeps us from praying keeps us from the very essence of life. It keeps us from the life giver, the life sustainer. The thing(s) that keeps us, keeps us in bondage. It is literally killing us to be outside of prayer, outside of intimacy with God. Whatever is keeping us wants us dead, while we are searching, searching, searching for the answer to life, to living peacefully at heart. The answer is always God... go through Jesus Christ to gain intimacy with the Savior and Creator of the Universe. Prayer sustains us, it is the essence of life... Christ is life. Maybe this is why God is so serious in His holy Love for us, because we are literally killing ourselves apart from Him. Life in Christ is the only satisfying source...
Life cannot be found in a screen
Life cannot be found in food
Life cannot be found in a bottle
Life cannot be found in a drug
Life cannot be found in appearance
Life cannot be found in acknowledgment
Life cannot be found in applause
Life cannot be found in the best clothes, toys, electronics...
Life cannot be found in a life of ease
Life cannot be found in success
Life cannot be found in athletic ability or winning a spelling bee
Life cannot be found in anything apart from Christ!
Intimacy with Christ is everything for us. In that intimacy He brings peace that passes understanding; healing from anger, malice, greed, unforgiveness, hate, jealousy, just to name a few; He brings saving power into our lives; He gives us life eternal... Prayer, intimacy with God, is the very essence of life and it is free and readily available to anyone who is willing. Why do we let ourselves be kept from life? This IS SERIOUS! Stop dieing, start living. Pray.
