I just posted an article on ManSpeak about prayer entitled System Analysis [Pt.2] | Where’s the Prayer? I’ve talked about prayer before on B2C, but this time it is more directed at men. After hearing a sermon by my senior pastor, Bill Kittrell, about earnest prayer, I came to realize my lack of gusto in my prayer life. Was I praying so hard as to cause a sweat? Or was I merely praying the simple repeat phrases that mark so many peoples’ prayers?
I highly encourage you to listen to Bill’s message on earnest prayer, it was challenging. More men in our culture need to pray more often, or else how are we to lead a family if we can’t even pray? How are we to expect God to save our families, and fill us with the spirit, and move the gospel if we will not pray? How are we to converse with our Father in heaven if we do not pray? We need a generation of young prayer warriors who are unashamed to pray the Christocentric prayer, and to pray it often and hard.
Prayer is one of our first steps in knowing God. And it is a step that must be continually taken lest we fall to the wayside.
