Sometimes I struggle to pray for three minutes. Can anyone relate? Learning that prayer is two way communication definitely helps. As I reflected on Luke 6:12 this morning, I was struck that Yeshua prayed all night. What was that like? I really doubt he was repeatedly begging God for things. I doubt He was reciting the Lord's prayer over and over. I imagine that He was meditating on the word of God, or maybe the creation, and as thoughts and questions developed, he would express them. I imagine that as He expressed those things, the Holy Spirit whispered back to Him. I think there was a lot of listening involved during that night, and it's through that listening that He was equipped to call the Twelve that next morning. What would happen if we turned off our phones and went to a solitary place to pray in this way for hours at a time, and in a regular basis? What more would we accomplish?

May God bless you today, may He fill you with His Spirit and give you peace. May you find Him as you seek Him. Amen.
