›› Pray Whenever

Pray whenever you think about it. Don’t make the mistake of thinking you can pray only at certain times and in certain places. God is spirit and not confined by man-made temples or times. Pray when you think about it — in your car, in a meeting, in bed when you can’t sleep, as you mow the lawn or wash dishes, or while brushing your teeth. Because God makes His home in you, wherever you are, God is! So learn to converse with Him all the time.

Besides, when you think about praying, that’s God talking! The natural man or woman doesn’t desire prayer. If it’s on our minds to pray, it’s the Holy Spirit calling. Don’t put the King on hold! Answer His page and hear what’s on His mind! If you kick yourself for forgetting to pray for people you’ve promised to pray for, learn to pray when God puts it in your mind — when you think about it.
