Adventure

A book called "The Lost Art of Intercession" came into my hands recently.
As I read the book, I realised that the intensity of my prayer life had been dimming without my being aware of it.
And been replaced by an almost conversational one.
It has many good points and I wouldn't want to lose that
But time set aside for really getting to grips with the Lord
Time alone
Time when you know you will not be interrupted -
That is what's been missing far too often lately.

Normally this realisation would have brought guilt
And I would try harder to do the thing right
With the memories of the times I had tried to be faithful and failed, nagging at the back of my mind
But the word He gave me ("Invitation" - see previous posts) is doing its miraculous work.
So instead I see it as His wide smile, a beckoning to join Him in this adventure of living, being a co-labourer in His great work.

That He should want to share this wonderful project with any human is amazing enough
But with me?
Remarkable!
Suddenly prayer takes on a new hue
