One of the most wonderful things about prayer is that it is so varied, and there are so many ways to pray. Prayer is so much more than we realize and as we understand this we can experience so much as we pray.
In Luke 10 we read of the story of Mary and Martha. Where Martha is busy serving the Lord and doing things for Him, but her sister Mary does nothing except to just be with Him – and we find out that is okay with Jesus. To understand that just being with Jesus is okay can be so liberating. I know that I can too easily get into the frame of mind that my prayer life must have a purpose and that I need to work at it.
Take a moment right now as you read this, pause, and just be with the Lord. It is so good for us to simply be with Jesus and enjoy His presence, so refreshing and so renewing.
In Luke 10:42 Jesus tells Martha (and all of us) that Mary was not wasting time, in fact He says that she has chosen the good part and it will not be taken away from her.
Let's follow this example and chose that good part which will not be take from us.
God bless you all.
