You Can Do Something

Now that I am a senior citizen, I hear a lot of my friends say, "I used to work in the church all the time, but now I am too old and feel too bad." Nonsense! There is something you can do and that is pray. Who do you pray for? Anyone who needs it,including the President and all our troops on foreign soil. A good thing about Christian prayer is that you can pray wherever and whenever you wish. No one can take that away from you. Prayer is a conversation with God and you can do it. If you have a computer with Internet access, you have the perfect avenue for finding prayer chains and people who need your intercession.Just a few thoughts on prayer:TALKING WITH GOD Praying is one dimension of being in love--being in love with God. The metaphor of a love affair may prove helpful to you. A right relationship with God involves falling madly in love with God and nurturing that love to grow and mature. To pray to God is to speak freely and intimately with God within the security of that loving relationship. The conversations of a love affair comprise the content of prayer. How do you define prayer? You don't need to--the Bible doesn't.
