What a privilege

There is an old church song that includes: "What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer. Oh, what peace we often forfeit. Oh, what needless pain we bear. All because we do not carry everything to God in prayer."

A friend emailed yesterday asking that I take a specific time each day to pray for her daughter. The details of the daughter are important, but not to this thought. Asking for prayer, and actually "doing" it are what's important.

Perhaps prayer is too often thought about and talked about instead of done. It is a privilege. It is an honor. It is a necessity for believers.
