Greetings Prayer Warriors!
Look around. Do you
see what I see? Bowed heads everywhere! On the streets, in restaurants, amusement
parks, businesses, dinner tables, schoolyards, & churches. Could it be we are becoming a world where
everyone is praying?? Well, not yet.
Actually, most people are bowing endlessly over smartphones, tablets,
and laptops. While we are blessed by the
innovation of such tools, when the use of them begins to preclude real dialogue,
focused listening, and real intimacy, not just with our family and others, but
with the Lord, then the “blessing” becomes more of a curse.
But here’s the challenge. While everyone is not bowing in prayer just yet,
we can change the tide and restore the
balance. Every time you see someone including yourself “bowing over a screen”,
use it as a cue to say a prayer of praise, thanks, or petition. For example:
I love you, Jesus!
Bless our family!
Have mercy on us all!
You are faithful!
I am poor and needy; come quickly to me, O God!
Holy, holy, holy are You!
Guide my children.
Thank you Lord for the blessings of this day.
Sanctify me.
Heal our family divisions.
O come, let us worship and bow down, let us kneel before the
LORD, our Maker! Psalm 95:6
Before you know it, all “bowing” will have a prayer
attached. You will be surprised by the
change in your prayer life, and the change in your family life.
Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
Encourage a greater prayer life. Pass it on.
