Weak Christianity: Prayer

I think that this idea of "weak Christianity" first becomes apparent in our prayer life. I think too often we don't pray enough, if at all. Most Christians I know will say they are going to pray and rarely do. Some of those, if they do pray that is, will just give a "serviceable" prayer at best. 

I don't think that's the kind of relationship God wants to have with us. It think He wants us to give Him our all in our prayer time. Spend a little more time with Him. Pray for the impossible. Pray for His will. Find out His will. Pray that God would change our situations, circumstances, and our lives. He wants to be a part of us. He wants to live in us and through us. But we need to be praying.

Prayer is not some crazy weird thing we can't understand. It's here. It's at our fingertips. I have always said and will continue to say that God is always a whisper away. It's true. And God doesn't want to be our last resort, but our first. Don't rely on Him once you have relied on yourself and everything else.

It's time to stop being weak in our Christianity. If we are "Christians" then we need to be praying. But not praying because we have to. Praying because it's relationship with our Creator and Giver of all things. Praying because we believe He can true do anything and everything and He cares and loves us enough to take control of our situations and make everything work.
