The Two Surprises of Prayer

Song: Did You Think To Pray?

Scripture: Psalm 65

My study of prayer was met with two surprises.

1. God listens to me. “O You who hear prayer, To You all flesh will come” (Psalm 65:2; NKJV). The Creator hears my prayers. He listens. He cares. He responds.

2. I don’t pray more. I think about it. I worry about it. I talk about. Knowing He listens, cares, and responds when I pray, why don’t I pray more?

Note to self: “…pray without ceasing…” (1 Thessalonians 5:17; NKJV).
