We had a whole day of brown out at the office. No light, no computers, and no ventilation. We were let go early. I realized how dependent we are on electricity and on technology to get things done.
What are the things we can't live without? What are indispensable to us?
For many of us, prayer is something of an option. It may seem that we can do without it for the day. But as one famous Christian bumper sticker says "7 days without prayer makes one weak." A day without prayer is also tantamount to saying, "Lord I don't need you today."
What is a day without prayer? Most would say, "I am more impatient. I easily get angry." Some say, "I get to fall into the temptation of talking against other people behind their backs." And this is just one day. Without prayer, we become calloused with pride. Prayer makes us humble and realize our mistakes. With prayer, we become sensitive to God's will, so we are led to the right track. I think life without prayer is a formula for disaster.
Christ Himself, being God, needed to pray. "One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God (Luke 6:12)." Let us make prayer indispensable.
