Somewhere in the recesses of our mind, we remember a bit of the lessons from our days attending Sunday school, and we are moved to pray....a bit. But with hardly any relationship with God and Jesus after pretty much ignoring them most of our life, we realize...we are on rather shaky ground re. the prayer we just prayed!
Consider these 3 short questions:
1. Whom would you call? If your relationship with Jesus is so weak (or nil) that you cannot pray the ‘prayer of faith’ in earnest, believing that God hears and answers your prayer right then and there when you pray (Mark 11:24), how likely is it that you have a strong enough relationship with the top persons on your "gotta call 'em" list?
2. Whom would your friends call?? Whether they ever speak of it or not, I'd bet your close friends have tucked somewhere in the back of their minds their own "gotta call 'em" list. Do you think you are on their list?
3. Would you call YOU ??? Knowing yourself well, would your name be on your own "gotta call 'em" list (get this) ...if you were not you???
If either of these questions gives you reason to pause, please consider that pause as a gentle invitation from The Holy Spirit to enhance your relationship with God, through Jesus Christ. He will show you how. And if you need additional help, for goodness sake...call me! (520-360-4771)
Here's an idea: Work to earn a place on their list. What a privileged list to be on!
