Do Not Grow Weary in Your Prayers

Christian , Daily Devotional, Weary in Prayer

Do you begin to pray fervently with power, but as your prayers continue do you find that your strength is waning? Praying is not only a spiritual exercise, but is also mentally, and physically demanding as well. God sent Jesus an angel to strengthen Him while He was praying in the Garden of Gethsemane, and He will send us help too. There are sweet prayers that we find rather easy to pray, and we can sing and whisper them, but there are also those that are like raging storms within us that we must shout in order to be heard above the gale, and that demand a great deal of effort to pray. Regardless of the nature of our prayers today, let’s not grow weary as we offer them. Have you ever had such an occurrence in your life?

Are we weary, and traveling the road to Emmaus?

There are times in our lives of faith that we find ourselves sad. We feel like our spirits have faded and that our prayers are falling rather than rising from our lips. We continue on in our belief, but the joy in us has been diminished in some way. When this occurs we have lost sight of the fact that God is there with us, and that Jesus is abiding in us… we are saddened, perhaps disappointed, or mourning, even though we are standing in the very presence of God. Oh how incredulous we are, even while we are walking towards Emmaus with Jesus. In this glorious moment we are not seeing, or realizing, that He is speaking to us. This occurred on the road to Emmaus, and it happens to us today.
