Beeke thoughts: "He who does not pray privately is his own thief and murderer. He robs himself of the greatest blessings and kills his own spiritual life. Every newborn child cries for his mother: every spiritually newborn child of God calls out to Him. Can it be said of you as it was said of Saul at Damascus, 'Behold, he is praying'?"
Candy's thoughts: How long will it take me to learn this lesson?
Thank you Candy for sharing this challenging quote with us. I find myself asking myself why do I rob and murder myself by not praying?" "My brain is too tired!" i answer. So last night, heavily apprehensive about my drive and time caring for my mother, I asked the Lord the question. Guess what? I know He heard me! Now I'm listening once again, and praying. Because He showed up! Even though I am tired, Mother and I just had a great almost-five-hour-morning and i know God answered my prayer.
