Pray regularly, no matter what, for prayer is your lifeline to God.

Have you ever longed for hearing God’s voice? How can we hear His voice, if we never read His words?

Tonight, I read Daniel chapter 6. God reminded me back the importance of prayer, the importance of keeping our life pure in God’s eyes.

Daniel 6: 3-4

Daniel made enemies at work by doing a good job. Perhaps you have had a similar experience. When you begin to excel, you will find that coworkers may look for ways to hold you back and tear you down. How should you deal with those who would cheer at your downfall and even try to hasten it? Conduct your whole life like Daniel. Then you will have nothing to hide, and your enemies will have a difficult time finding legitimate charges against you. Of course, this will not save you from attacks, and, like Daniel, you will have to rely on God for protection.

Daniel 6:10

Daniel stood alone. Although he knew about the law against praying to anyone except the king, he continued to pray three times a day as he always had. Daniel had a disciplined prayer life. Our prayers are usually interrupted not by threats, but simply by the pressure of our schedules. Don’t let threats or pressures cut into your prayer time. Pray regularly, no matter what, for prayer is your lifeline to God.

Thanks God for reminding me once again about the importance of keeping the stairway to the heaven. How often we tend to take granted of our situation. There is freedom in religion in America. We can pray, go to church, have Care Group, have fellowship… but often time, we take those for granted.

“ I will go to the church/care group if I don’t have exams next week…….”

“I will pray after my homework done…..”

There may be a time when we cannot freely pray…….thus, now, when it’s free for us to pray……MANAGE YOUR TIME RIGHT. PUT GOD AS YOUR FIRST PRIORITY. SET A SPECIAL MEETING TIME FOR YOU AND GOD. SPEND TIME TO MEDITATE ON GOD’S WORDS.

Sometimes, God wants to talk to us using His words. If we never open and read His words, how we expect to know and understand His will?

- Lord, teach me to be discipline with my time.-

When God says,

“I have been waiting you all day my son (daughter). You woke up in rush in the morning, took shower, went for school (work), without even say “good morning to Me.” You did your own activities, you had your lunch, and you had fun times with friends. In the evening, you arrived home, cooked for your dinner, chit-chat with your friends, studied for your exam, worked with your project, and you feel asleep. I was standing there, waiting for you to talk to Me….but you just never have the time for Me.”

- Father, thank you that You’re still there for me even at the times when I was not faithful to you.-
