Before your hectic day begins with
its noise and numerous distractions,
there is usually a
calm that is uncommon to any other time of the day.
There's a peaceful prerequisite for entering into the
prayer closet with
Christ. Christ, Himself, set this
example for us when He rose up early and
prayed.
Morning is the first step to the list of
"things to do" planned out the
night before. Morning is a
wonderfully private time where intimate
conversation and
gentle responses can take place between you and God. This
is a time to listen to the very heart of God.
Some
of you, like myself, work at night and so our morning is
actually in
the evening. However, this is our morning, our
wake-up call to prayer to
begin our new day also. When we
begin our day talking with God intimately,
we will go out
into the world and face our daily tasks more easily. For a
prayer of faith, sent up from the heart, will surely be
heard, and the Lord
will be with us throughout our
day.
Oswald Chambers said, "Get an inner chamber in
which to pray where no one
knows you are praying, shut the
door, and talk to God in secret. Have no
other motive than
to know your Father in heaven. It is impossible to conduct
your life as a disciple without definite times of secret
prayer."
