It's Time To Pray

Psalm 119:170 - "May my supplication come before you; deliver me according to your promise."

How is your prayer life? If you are like most people, you may be tempted to say, "What prayer life?" Oh sure, we pray when we want something, or when we are desperate, but are we people of prayer?

When we pray, we share our heart with God. And, David shows us in this verse that our requests actually come before God. It's been talked about before in this Psalm, but it's worth noting again. You and I have access to the throne room of heaven. We have access to God, Creator and Sustainer of life. And God loves it when we spend time with Him.

As you prepare for the weekend, why not consider spending an extended amount of time in prayer this weekend? Have a major decision on the horizon? Spend time in prayer. Miss your time with God lately? Spend time in prayer. Not sure if God is there? Spend time in prayer. Tell God how you feel. He wants to spend time with you, and that time might just change you forever.

Dear God,

David prays throughout this Psalm. He continually tells you that he needs You to deliver Him. We need Your deliverance too. Help us to trust You. Help us to make time to pray. Help us to see that You are there, and that You answer prayer.

In Jesus' name,

Amen.
