Have you
had your Joy Juice today? I’m sure you
have---if you’ve spent time with God in prayer.
“Prayer is
a two-way conversation with God the Father and one of us, his children.” Peter
Lord writes in his book Hearing God, “Prayer is one
of the primary sources of fellowshipping with our Lord, but we must open our
hearts to what he has to say.”
“Do you
talk very long on the telephone when you are not sure there is somebody on the
other end? Of course not! You need to
hear the other person’s voice to have a meaningful conversation. So, too, is prayer transformed when it moves
from a monologue to a dialogue---when you listen to God speak after you have
spoken to him in prayer.”
Someone has
wisely said that God gave us two ears and one mouth so we could listen twice as
much as we talk. When we learn to listen
to God, prayer is vitalized. It is
valuable in our lives, and it becomes very exciting.
Let’s evaluate our prayer life. Is it dull and routine? For many of us, it may even be nonexistent on
some days. It should be a worshipful
experience when we go to God in prayer because we recognize the voice of the
One Who loves us supremely. When our
prayer life is a personal exchange with our Father, then it will be overflowing
with JOY!
Drink the Joy Juice that
comes from an exciting prayer life and a personal relationship with Jesus.
