I wrote this in my journal a couple months ago:
"Discipline before anointing, obedience before inspiration." - Mike Bickle
Lord you spoke to me today about the practive of prayer that I have controlled close handed and fearful in my life. That I do not have a practice rather a pathetic attempt.
I believe Bickle's quote above has so much truth leaking out of it. Since writing that, I have endeavored to make prayer a practice. A natural "reset" button if you will. Where it is not something I endure but something I look forward to. It has been an up and down journey, but as I was lying awake last night, I was challenged once again that it all comes down to a heart issue. What do I long for? Better, who do I long for? If I am longing to connect with Christ, prayer is not an issue.
I hope you find that longing today.
