~ a thought on a person's prayer life ~

A Person's prayer life is like running.

When you run, day in, day out, and keep running, you'll be able to run faster and for a longer distance. Likewiese, when you keep praying, you grow stronger and am able to pray longer.

If you set your heart on running, you'll be able to accomplish beyond what you originally though you could. When you set your heart on praying, letting go of all else that distracts and let God speak to you, you'll be brought to another level. In spirit and relationship with the Father, just keep seeking Him, and it'll be brought higher.

When you slacken and decide to take a break, you realise that you can't run like you used to be able to, easily weary and want to give up. It's the same when you pray. However, when you pull yourself together and press in, there will be a breakthrough and you will grow.

It's amazing isn't it?

God reveals so much in our everyday lives, that a simple thing like running can have so much to do with our spiritual life. I believe that if we keep praying and pressing on, running consistently in our spiritual life, we will grow and grow.

Setting our lives in Him will just carry us beyond our original capacity and beyond our originally thought potential.
