bring your necessities before Him, and
enter fully into one of the privileges you have as His childthat of communing with the God of the universe.
Beloved, if all of this is true, why wouldnt you pray?!
Its fun to talk about prayer
and easy to think about prayer .
But to actually put your feet and heart!
on the pathway to prayer ,
to make your desire to pray a reality ,
requires discipline .
E LIZABETH G EORGE
Imagine what kind of transformation
would occur in our hearts
if we spent time (or more time) each day
drawing near to God through His Word
time spent on something of eternal ,
life-changing value!

Just say the word and I begin to yearn and squirm at the same time! As a woman after Gods own heart, I yearn to pray. My soul longs for it. My spirit craves the communion with my heavenly Father that only the act of prayer provides. My heart emotes along with the words of King David of the Old Testament, As the deer pants for the water brooks, so pants my soul for You, O God.My soul thirsts for You; my flesh longs for You (Psalm 42:1; 63:1).
And yet I also squirm at the thought of prayer. Why? Because even though I know praying to God will most definitely be rewarding and a blessing, I also know it is a serious undertaking. Approaching our thrice-holy God, while both a joy and a privilege, is an awesome and almost fearful consideration. Then there is the challenge of finding and making the time, of seeking out and arranging for solitude, and of putting forth the effort focused communion with God through prayer requires. What a battle! I fully recognize that I need to pray. Furthermore, I want to pray. I covet the desired results and blessings reaped through prayer. And yet there is the sober recognition of the work and the discipline such communion calls for.
Do you, dear reader, share these same mixed sensations? Then together lets purpose to heed Gods call to us to be women of prayerno matter what! Lets embark on a joint journey of learning more about prayer. Lets seek a life lived on bended knee.
Ultimately a first beginning step must be taken to launch out on any journey because, as the well-known saying goes, Every journey begins with a single step. And thats true, too, of a journey into prayer. Even today I still remember the first step that I took toward seriously learning to pray on bended knee
