Prayer is not a duty; it’s a privilege. It’s not an obligation to be done grudgingly, the way a child goes to his chores, but an opportunity to fellowship with the Father. Prayer is what God and Adam shared in the Garden when they walked together in the cool of the day as friend with friend. Prayer is the joy of keeping company with God. Prayer is simply being with God!

“Now Moses used to take a tent and pitch it outside the camp some distance away, calling it the ‘tent of meeting.’ . . . As Moses went into the tent, the pillar of cloud would come down and stay at the entrance, while the Lord spoke with Moses.”

— Exodus 33:7, 9 (NIV)

Lord Jesus, let us be with You. Let us enjoy Your presence. In Your holy name we pray. Amen.
