Prayer Is a Dull Word

"I'm a shell of a man. My bones are decaying". There are two words that put the Christian in a depressed mood...Prayer and Death. We have left our first love...Jesus. Does anyone spend five minutes in prayer every day? We are so distracted by the cares of this world we fail and then we feel guilty. 

Jesus told us to go into our inner room and pray in secret. Then the Father will reward you. (Matthew 6:6) The "inner room" is not a place, but whether it is time alone with the Lord. We have drifted away from talking to God leaving us to the world who desires to devour us.

How do we get back to our "first love"? It must begin with prayer. If we spend three minutes a day alone with God perhaps our hearts will be turned back to Him who wants so much to bless us in all spiritual things. Above all, the blessing of really "knowing Him".
