Sometimes prayer takes on a life of its own and we find ourselves praying fervently and for extended periods of time, but that is the exception rather than the rule. Anyone can pray when that happens, but it takes a disciplined person to pray when prayer is neither inspiring, nor exciting. But if you make a commitment to stay on your knees, to perform the mechanics of prayer whether you feel anything or not you will become an intercessor. If you continue with that kind of commitment for weeks or months you will not only learn to pray but you will see a spiritual awakening.
“Prayer is essential in this ongoing warfare. Pray hard and long.”
— Ephesians 6:18 (MSG)
Lord help us to pray hard and long. Our spirit is willing, but our flesh is weak. Amen.
