A good way to begin any year is with prayer.
Let’s consider Acts 6:4 “But we will give ourselves
continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the
word.” Have you ever spent an actual hour in prayer?
Most people would have to say we would do pretty good
if we spent 15 minutes or less. The hymn “Sweet Hour
of Prayer” suggests a pleasant hour with our Lord.
Prayer is a face-to-face encounter with God. We must
realize how holy and perfect He is and how unworthy
we feel. He listened to the thief, and He wants to
spend time with you. Our God who saved us desires
to hear our wants and needs. Why not begin today?
