Bible Discussion Thread

The thing we need to be focused on most of all in our Christian walk is a much deeper prayer life. Most Christians are not praying long enough. A perfunctory 30 second prayer hastily said before one flies out the door to make a living is not enough. We need to pray without ceasing, of course but our daily routines need to involve longer prayers. Not longer for the sense of saying lots of words but heartfelt, giving glory and praise to God. Thanking Him for unnoticed blessings. I was at a Christian women 's luncheon and our guest speaker was Saeed Abedini who said American Christians study their Bibles much but don 't pray long enough. He is in prison in Iran right now. He had permission to set up an orphanage. I remember seeing my devoted grandmother pray for a half hour each day alone in her room. When our prayers are longer, not only can we hear from God but the Holy Spirit intercedes for us. Praise God from whom all blessings flow.
