All in One Church

Do we ever find ourselves praying just because we think it is required of us, or we simply think we should? Today's devotional is an interesting one; it will both convict, and encourage us, all in the same breath. E.M. Bounds taught a lesson on the sincerity of prayer by defining the difference between babble and prayer. His lesson started with the statement that "Prayer is a necessary phase of spiritual habit, but it ceases to be prayer when it is done by habit alone." Have our prayers become habit? Do we pray the same words day after day? Have our prayers become babble and chants?

Do you long to be in the presence of God? When you pass by a church do you admire the cross that crowns it, and think of Jesus Christ, and all He does for you? Do you dream of being in God’s presence, standing with Jesus before God the Father with your face aglow, and your heart nearly exploding with the joy He brings you? If so, you are not alone, and your soul is singing in unison with so many others.
