I was asked to pray the other day. I told the group that I don’t pray. What, a pastor who doesn’t pray? You could have heard the air being sucked right out of the room. Then I told them that I talk with my God. I simply hold conversations with Jesus. All was well in the world when they heard this.
And yet, no one asked me to explain; so I’ll tell you. In my experience, prayer is fast becoming another English word (another word is “church”) that is losing its way in the Christian world. We don’t go to church we are the church every where we go. We don’t stop and pray, we talk to God throughout our day (1 Thess. 5:17) about anything and everything. Holding a conversation with God denotes close between two people in relationship.
Jesus said His sheep listen to and follow Him (Jn. 10:27) as He is the source of true life…now and forever. How do we stay plugged into that life? We walk and talk with Him as we walk the talk about Him.
