Romans 15:30 "Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me;"
If you had to choose one word to describe your prayer life, what would it be?
Strive: "to endeavour with strenuous zeal, strive: to obtain something". Paul leaves no question as to what our prayer life ought to look like. He's speaking of an intense prayer life that has purpose and direction. A dedicated, tenacious drive.
And let us not forget Who it is we are praying to. The one and only God, the Creator and Provider, the Lover of our souls, the One Who gave all for us and died for us. The God of unspeakable love, mercy, and grace. He waits to be sought by us. But not halfheartedly. As He says in Luke 18 - we must always pray and not faint!
Therefore, we must strive. But not alone. We strive together with our fellow believers. So again I ask you, what word would describe your prayer life?
