How Is Your Prayer Life?

Do you know that prayer is a significant measure of the strength of our faith? In Luke 18:1—8 Jesus’ closing words in this account are astounding—“When the Son of Man returns, will He find faith on the earth?” This statement is given in respect to prayer’s importance in the life of His followers.

As Jesus spoke in this passage He was focusing on His followers having an ATTITUDE OF DEPENDENCE. In other words, to the extent to which we realize our total dependence on God is the extent to which we make prayer a priority. Therefore, Jesus says that a follower of His who does not pray as if his or her life depended on it is not living by faith. So, how is your prayer life? Are you running daily on prayer?

Father, forgive us for how little we depend on you. For how little we depend on prayer. Help us this day to see our need and to respond in prayer.
