As Morning Dawns and Evening Fades

This is my first blog post and is probably a bit more scatterbrained than future posts will be (assuming I stick to this blogging thing).

I only woke up about an hour ago so I haven't any experiences today to speak of but I just wanted to express how awesome it is that we (as Christians) can pray. I think it's one of the things that we take most for granted. The very God that created this entire universe that we're only beginning to discover, who brought life into the dust to create us, listens to you when you talk to Him. This is the same God who created Adam, the same God who parted the Red Sea, the same God who made Israel rise to great power and fall as a nation, the same God who sent His son to die the most gruesome and humiliating death known to civilization, the same God who blinded and saved Paul and inspired Him to write a large part of the New Testament, and the same God who listens to you the next time you pray over your bacon and eggs.

When you pray, God doesn't just hear your voice being drowned out by a billion other prayers. He hears you and He listens to you because He wants to talk with you. Once you realize that you are literally talking to THAT God, it becomes very easy to "pray without ceasing."

Take advantage of the opportunity you have. How many people do you think have that opportunity? God gave you an incredible blessing, don't take it for granted.
