Ponder : Throughout the Gospels, people call out to Jesus in a variety of ways and each is a prayer! (e.g. Mt 8:2; 8; 25; 14:30; 17:14-15; Mk 10:47; 51; Lk 23:42; Jn 20:28; etc). These one line prayers were casual, practical and dripping with humanity.
Consider : Lk 18: 1- Then Jesus told them a parable about their NEED to pray always and not to lose heart. (Read Lk 21:36).
Answer : When was the last time you consciously acknowledged that Jesus is the Messiah? Have you ever said it LOUD to Jesus Himself? (Mt 16:16). When was the last time you KNELT down to pray? (Mt17:14-15). Will you try kneeling beside your bed at night and pray ALOUD? (Mk 10:48).
Implore : O Jesus my Lord, give me the desire to kneel and pray before you. Help me Lord to confide in you, being at ease with you, as with a familiar friend.
God wants to transform you AND the way you live your life! SURRENDER!
