Yes, I’m catching up.  The last few days for me have been pretty crazy, so I’m doing several posts today so we can be get back on track.

The opening quote on day 5 is difficult to read, because I see myself in it. E.M. Bounds says “No learning can make up for the failure to pray. No Earnestness, no diligence, no study, no gifts will supply its lack.”

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve decided I can DO enough to make up for my lack of prayer.  Well, the truth is, I cannot DO enough. When I don’t pray, I miss out, and so do the people in my life who depend on me to be a man chasing after the heart of God. I do not possess the necessary power to carry out my ministry to my family, my community, or you without God’s presence active in my life. I NEED HIM! And the only way I will get HIM is to pray and read His instructions and encouragements to me in His Word

The forces that oppose your walk with Christ are real and they are powerful, but not as powerful as your God. Pray for His strength, direction, and leadership today!
