Transforming Sermons: Praying when we don't feel like it

Sunday, January 15, 2006

Ekklesia reminds us that some of the most powerful prayer comes when our emotions aren't really involved.

Wayne said...: Milton, Thanls for the link again. But mainly,let me say congratulations on your "anniversary." I'm less than a year at this stuff, and I think you were one of the first blogs I started reading on a regular basis.; 9:50 AM, January 16, 2006
Vicki said...: Yes, congratulations on your bloggerly anniversary!

About praying when we don't feel like it--good post idea. We've all been there. The older I get, the more neccesary it is to just "pray as I am." I go to God, wooden heart or not, going through the motions until His Spirit revives me. I can still trust that He knows what my deepest need is during these times.

Anyway, just rambling--my 2 cents.; 9:59 AM, January 16, 2006
Milton Stanley said...: You're welcome, Wayne. Thank you for the excellent post and the very kind words. Peace.; 1:30 PM, January 16, 2006

Congratulations on the anniversary.

Secondly, I couldn't agree more on ekklesia, which I was always told meant "called out".

Think faith is the primary driver in prayer. Is HE able? And is it to HIS Glory? All about motivation.

Good blog.; 2:44 PM, January 16, 2006
