It's easy for churches, even with the
0:02
best intentions, to slowly drift. One of
0:05
the quietest ways this happens is when
0:07
prayer, once a vibrant necessity,
0:10
becomes merely an option. We are called
0:13
to be devoted, just as Acts 2:42 reminds
0:16
us, they devoted themselves to prayer.
0:20
When fervent prayer starts to fade,
0:23
something else inevitably takes its
0:25
place. human strategies, our own
0:28
well-meaning plans begin to quietly
0:31
overshadow God's divine guidance. We
0:35
start leaning on our own understanding
0:38
rather than seeking his wisdom.
0:41
So, I wonder how central is prayer in
0:43
your spiritual life and in our shared
0:45
life as a church. Is it the very breath
0:48
of our decisions or an afterthought?
0:51
Let's commit again to making prayer the
0:53
non-negotiable cornerstone of all we do.
0:56
Our devotion to prayer is truly our
0:59
devotion to God's leading.
