How Do You Overcome Temptations Not To Pray?
“Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak.” (Mark 14:38) Life is full of distractions in which many are important or good things to do…children need to be cared for, work needs to be done, telephone calls occur. It seems never-ending. Many of us are very busy, and many times, very tired. Praying seems to be another item on the list to do. Here’s some ways to overcome the temptation to pass on prayer and be refreshed by God’s Spirit. Remember that God knows all about our lives, and our hearts, and desires to give us refreshment. God’s kind of refreshment will quench the deep thirst in your soul. As His children, God’s love, peace and joy fulfills our needs more than anything else in the world. We each have needs in our life that perhaps aren’t being fulfilled by others around us. God is able to be all things for us. He will fill those empty spots with His wondrous love. How do we get this refreshment? It takes a decision by us.
