“When ye pray, use not vain repetitions as the heathens do...Lord teach us to pray” Matthew 6:7 & Luke 11:1.
“Sweet
hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer” I heard those words while singing and
couldn't help but think about what they really meant. Did people
really pray an hour a day, back when this hymn was written? It seems
like such a long time to me. I couldn't help but notice the
stanza of the next song: “the hour before thy throne I fall.”
I
knew my prayer life was feeble and repetitive. I had a hard time
imagining an hour of prayer a day, as an exciting time or something I
would long for, but the Lord also asks us to “taste and see that He
is good”. If I don't try...how will I know?
In
the evening, I opened the “Daily Light” to the devotional and
came across the verses: “When ye pray, use not vain repetitions
as the heathens do...Lord teach us to pray” Matthew 6:7 & Luke
11:1. So
I did the only thing I could think of doing, I asked the Lord to
teach me to pray
