A number of years ago two third-grade boys were sitting outside the principal’s office at Eagle Lake Elementary School. They were waiting for a hearing about some infraction against school policy. They knew they were both guilty and even Robert Shapiro and Johnnie Cochran couldn’t get them off. The principal overheard one say to the other, “I think it’s time to pray.”
Had they done exactly that before, they might have avoided this whole thing. Sounds like they had heard of prayer, just never made it part of their lives.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.
There is no excuse not to pray, especially if you know the Advocate.
Give it some thought.
