I m not in right now. At the tone, leave your name and message, and I ll get back to you as soon as possible. God doesn t have an answering machine. He doesn t take naps, go on vacation, or get too busy to take our calls. Still, sometimes when we pray, it seems that God is very far away.
Prayer is important.
It s key to our daily devotional time. God talks to us through his Word, and we need to talk back to keep the conversation going. Communication is basic to any relationship, including your relationship with God. In the next few days, we ll try to get better at it kind of a prayer warm-up. One of the first prayers I ever learned was a rhyming bedtime prayer my parents said with me.
