Take Time to Pray: Tips to Effective Communication With God, Part 6

Use any available occasion (shower, car, brushing teeth…) “Pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests.” (Eph 6:18 NIV) Story: Two men were in a car when they had to stop at a red signal light. The man at the wheel did not say anything. The other man by his side, fretting and fuming, said, “The time we waste at these red lights – why, a man could write a book!” The driver still said nothing. Finally the man beside him said, “Didn’t you hear what I said?” “No.” “How come?” “I was talking.” “Whom were you talking to?” “I was talking to God,” he said. “I’ve been making it a practice every time I get to a red light to pray for one of my friends. It is wonderful how many folks I have on my prayer list and how many I have time to pray for in this way.” By Arthur L. Bietz, Signs of the Times, May 23, 1950 Dale Galusha Part 7
