The Importance of Prayer

A lot of Christians do not make prayer a priority in their lives. I think we sometimes don't feel like prayer is actually accomplishing anything, that it's not doing anything immediately. We forget that even humbling ourselves, even going to the Lord, is having an immediate effect. And when we pray, it sort of kills the flesh. It works against the flesh. The last thing I sometimes feel like doing is getting on my knees and pausing and being patient and praying.
