Psalm 55:17

Evening and morning, and at noon,

I will pray and cry aloud;

and He shall hear my voice.

Psalm 55:17

Nutritionists tell us that several small meals per day

is healthier for us than two or three large meals.

Our bodies digest and assimilate food better when

we eat smaller portions every three to four hours.

I'm beginning to think, that at least for me,

prayer is much the same.

Praying several times throughout the day

keeps us spiritually alert

in a better way than praying one long

extended prayer either early in the morning

or at night before going to sleep.

The Psalmist prayed in the morning,

in the evening,

and at noon.

At least three times per day he found himself

before his Lord, crying out with his needs.

Let me encourage you to try this same practice for the next week.

Pray several times each day:

shortly after you first wake up...

at 7:58am, for The Carpenter's Church

before each event of the day (work, meetings, meals, your workout)

at 7:58 pm for The Carpenter's Church

and before you retire for the evening.

Praying several times a day

keeps you in tune with God.

It sharpens your spiritual perception.

Just as eating several small meals throughout the day

gives your body food in portions that it can

break down and use as energy without turning any of it to fat,

praying throughout the day

energizes us spiritually and helps us to learn

what it means to walk with God, keep Him close,

and truly be His friend.

Have a powerful & blessed day...

and I hope to see you at The Carpenter's Church this evening

for MidPoint Praise & Bible Study!
