The Two Surprises of Prayer

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).
