FINDING THE TIME TO PRAY

FINDING THE TIME TO PRAY We live in a SUPER busy Fast-paced world I don't know about you But I don't always FIND the time To spend time with God That is WHY I try to PRAY The first thing EVERY MORNING If I can And that is why I try to find time Every day To write poetry-and write MY FEELINGS about God “And WHEN He had taken leave of them He went off To the mountain to pray” Mark 6:46 If finding time To pray to his FATHER Was that important to Jesus It should be At least that important To us And it doesn't matter Where we pray As long as we take the time To FOCUS on God-EXCLUSIVELY “But when you pray Go into your room Close the door And pray to your Father Who is unseen Then your Father Who sees what is done In secret Will reward you And when you pray Do not keep on babbling Like pagans For they think They will be heard Because of their many words” Matthew 6:6-7 That is exactly What I did AFTER my 3rd life and death surgery In 1977-went to my room-and CLOSED the door And began praying to God For GUIDANCE And he has PROVIDED the answers For me Provided the HELP That I needed To keep on going To sustain myself Through God- And through the help Of my family and friends ABUNDANTLY SATISFIED Through prayer With God the Father And our brother-Jesus “You let people Ride over our heads We went through fire And water But you brought us To a place of abundance” Psalm 66:12 In PRAYER We will find the answers Not in an abundance Of possessions But in God's GRACE And PEACE “Grace and peace Be yours in ABUNDANCE” 1 Peter 1:2 So find some time During the day For some quiet-daily prayer Find the time To REFUEL in God To refuel in Jesus Dear Lord- HELP US to find some time For you today For our QUIET TIME Set apart with you Is the KEY to all we do And accomplish each day HELP US to find the time To pray to you TODAY Robert P.
