In all things…

“When all else fails: pray.”

When I first heard that phrase, I didn’t want to listen to it. At the time I was a stuck up, proud 15 year old boy. What 15 year old me failed to understand was the power and emence significance that prayer has in the Christian life.

5 years on, I can think of nothing better to say to someone that is struggling with life than to depend on God in prayer.
But I want to change that original phrase. There is an implication behind it that makes is seem that only after we have relied on everything else, then we should pray.

Dear friends, how foolish are we to think that we can do anything without God first willing it to be!
So let us not just pray when all else fails but let us be constant in prayer.

In all things: Pray!
