I heard a stat today that has really bothered me ever since. The average seminary graduate spends roughly 6 minutes in prayer a day. 6 minutes. "Prayer is our greatest responsibility and our most neglected opportunity."
I can't say that my average time in prayer helps this average. In fact, I'll admit that to this point I've done some damage to that average. It is funny to me (in a very sad sense) how mighty we expect God to move and how great God is...and how little time we actually spend with him. 6 minutes. We spend more time each day in the bathroom than we do in communication with our God. God has greatly convicted me of this today. This and a host of other things that I don't have time to fully explain right now.
"Prayer is the key to EVERY great spiritual awakening in history." just as the Moravians.
"Satan fears nothing from a prayerless religion... Satan trembles when we pray."
6 Minutes.

It bothers me too George...and I also have done damage to that average. Prayer is so critical, yet so easily set aside. Definitely something I need to change.
I've felt convicted of this lately as well. God has been working on my heart and I've noticed a passion in this area beginning to stir. May we be moved to seek His face!
