Lingering In the presence of God. This hardly seems to be something we should need to be reminded to do, but as our busy lives overrun our quiet time and breach our prayer closets... We need encouragement to be still and pray as we should. In my devotional reading today Pastor E.M. Bounds reminded me of this with these words: "Hasty prayers are without results. Lingering in God's presence instructs and wins. We are taught by it, and the greatest victories are often the results of great waiting - waiting until words and plans are exhausted. Silent and patient waiting gains the crown." Are we reluctant to end our prayers? Are we longing to remain in the presence of God forever?
