Is prayer a vital part of your life? It was for Jesus. It was not a duty but an opportunity. Prayer was to His spirit what breath was to His physical body. In prayer He experienced fellowship with the Father that nourished His soul. He received guidance to direct Him in His life’s work and anointing to accomplish His ministry. It was the single most important discipline of His earthly existence and the source of His strength. Do we dare make it any less important in our lives?

“The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.”

— James 5:16 (NLT)

Jesus, teach us to pray the way you prayed—powerfully and with great passion. Make it the single most important discipline of our lives. Amen.
