Time to Resume

So I need to start this blog again.This kind of thinking is something I need to be doing constantly.

Luke 9:18 Now it happened that as he was praying alone, the disciples were with him.

As I look at this, I think of why I need to do this. I need to keep my spiritual walk going, so that I don't end up in the place where the disciples are here in this verse. Jesus is praying alone, and the disciples are with him? What's that about? Why does that verse not read "Now it happened that Jesus and his disciples were in prayer"?

But I cannot be too critical of them, because how often do I feel Christ draw me into prayer, but I will not go. I know He wants me to spend time with His Dad, but I've got other stuff going. I feel the nudge, but on I go, and I listen to the radio or I watch TV or I wash dishes or do laundry or call somebody, but not prayer.

I leave Jesus praying alone. I may be with Him, but I haven't learned to be drawn by Him into prayer yet.

I don't want to be in this state of heart. I want to be responsive to His calls to prayer.

Oh, God, deepen my limp. Wrestle with me more. I want to be overcome by you. I want to fall into prayer with you and be beside you. I do not want to sit in your presence, to cool or clueless to fall with you into prayer.

Deepen my heart God. Deepen my limp.
