#525: Making Time for Prayer

January 30, 2022 • Loren Hicks

The Big Idea:

Like the disciples of Jesus, we must learn how essential prayer is to our lives. If we see the value of communication with God, prayer won’t be something we do only in times of emergency. It will be a vital part of our growing relationship with our savior.

Main Points:

1. For Christ-followers like you and me, prayer is one of the things we want to do, need to do, but often feel guilty about not doing more. When we look at our busy schedules, finding time to set aside for prayer can be our challenge.
2. Nothing is too great or too important to give up if it’s keeping you from prayer. Let’s recognize prayer is a vital part of our relationship with God and important for our spiritual growth.
3. We don’t find time for things that are important to us. We make time. Prayer is not only a responsibility, it is a wonderful privilege.

Today’s Scripture Verse:

Luke 11:1 – “One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”
