Breathing is essential no? It's a necessary function of which we "practice" in the womb. With out air we wouldn't be able to function any of the several complicated systems of the human body....
Prayer:
It has been said that Prayer is the breath of the soul. Often we hear stories of people praying when they hit a rough spot in their journeys, yet not so often do we hear of people praying in their daily lives beyond the routine function maybe at meals and sleep time. Why? have we just lost the ability to speak to The Provider of Life? It seems ridiculous when we take time to pause and examine our habits.
This week has been week of prayer on campus. While I have not been faithful in attending meetings mainly due to a conflicting schedule the meetings I have attended (for the most part) have been challenging. How much do i really Pray? or a better question might be how much do I breathe? If there are 2 things I know, its that more prayer hasn't ever hurt anyone and I NEED to Pray more.
Its easy to get caught up in the rhythmic flow of life, and the devil does his best to make sure that flow is swift enough to cause us to forget to talk to the One who can help us achieve our goals. But the plus side is that God came to this crazy river, stepped in and gave His life so that I have a chance to get back to shore. However, not only does He provide a way of escape, even today He wades into my life and reaches out His hand to pull me to shore... He is super amazing... <3
But a prayer that he sends from his heart's deep core.
Paul Laurence Dunbar
