The practice of spending time crying out in prayer to the Lord seems to have been displaced by the fast-food mentality we now have. Lost is the discipline of waiting. We will work out for hours a day, yet think it excessive and unnecessary to spend more than fleeting minutes in prayer and fellowship with the Lord’s Spirit.

How long has it been since we’ve prayed through the night? When have we last fasted a meal for spiritual purposes.

Again, we hear, “It is time to seek the Lord until He rain righteousness upon us.” Hos. 10:12

DAILY PRAYER: Lord, grace us to restore the lost art and discipline of prevailing prayer.   Forgive us for allowing conflicting values and priorities to displace old-fashioned Holy Ghost prayer.

DAILY READING: Hosea 13,14;  Joel 1
