In recent days I struggle more and more to pray!
Ps 4:1 - Show Context
Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
Ps 61:1 - Show Context
Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.
Ps 64:1 - Show Context
Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
It is interesting that David in these Psalms relates prayers to specifically the fear of his enemies, I have found I am almost battling to pray every circumstance is dogging me or I do not have the energy to pray. To me it is like what is going wrong with me!
1Ki 8:44 - Show Context
If thy people go out to battle against their enemy, whithersoever thou shalt send them, and shall pray unto the LORD toward the city which thou hast chosen, and toward the house that I have built for thy name:
Everywhere I go seems to be a battlefield and to be prayed up ready to go to work or evangelism is important as it is perilous times that we live in.
Denny Kensington one of his anologys for a husband and wife team is that the wife prays almost at the HQ whilst the husband continues fighting, sometimes when evangelising I get someone to pray whilst I am street preaching, if noone is there actually pray whilst handing out tracts. Many of us need prayer partners that fight for us when we cannot fight.
Churches cannot run without prayer meetings or anything that goes on in Church without of church needs prayer. This is the thing that the devil is going for Christ is the head of the church and a body cannot function without the head. In the ever desperate times a greater hunger for prayer and a greater desperation for a savior.

Along time ago I used to go down to the christian bookshop to delight myself in books past and now that the christian bookshop has closed. Enjoying Jesus and the great things that he has done for us and him makes this world seem dim.
I so want to delight in his salvation for me more! and hear his precious voice!
