“One of the great uses of?social media will be to prove at the Last Day that prayerlessness was not from lack of time.” John Piper

Prayer is the lifeline of a Christian. Many of us have lost our destinies, ministries, calling, careers & faith because of failing to pray. Failing/refusing to pray is tantamount to telling God to His face that you do not need His help.

"As for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the LORD by failing to pray for you. And I will teach you the way that is good and right". 1 Samuel 12:23

The prophet Samuel knew that his destiny as a priest & a prophet could only be sustained by prayer. When Israel turned against God & demanded a king like other nations around them, he committed himself to ALWAYS pray for them. He described prayerlessness as sin & we should also see it as such.

God is not a blessing machine. He is seeking a relationship with us through fellowship in prayer. No earthly father would be happy to be associated with a child who only comes to him when they need something. God loves you. He wants you to know Him. Take time to talk to Him.

Luke 18:1, "... always pray and never give up."

1 Thessalonians 5:17, "Never stop praying."

Zechariah 12:10, '...Then I will pour out a spirit of grace and prayer on the family of David and on the people of Jerusalem..."
