How often do you mow your grass? Once a week? Every ten days? Whenever you can get around to it? How about twice a week? I guess it all depends on your attitude towards the grass you have.Some people enjoy their lawn full of grass. Cutting the grass is a joy for them. Others see it as a necessary chore that one must do to keep up with the norm. Some can cut their grass in 30 minutes and be done while others need hours at a time.
I was thinking the other day while mowing the grass that I have how prayer is like grass. Grass grows under the right conditions and so does prayer. Grass needs maintenance, or it will easily get out of control and weeded. Such is the same with prayer.
Some pray for a short while to maintain. Others see prayer as a joy and a beauty. Attitude is the key here. Your grass doesn't grow at your command which is why it needs mowing. Prayer does not do us much good on command either which is why it needs maintaining as well.
The Bible says, in Isaiah 40:7-8 " 7 The grass withers and the flowers fall, because the breath of the LORD blows on them. Surely the people are grass. 8 The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever."
So, how's the grass where you live, or better yet, how's your prayers?
That's what I'm talking about. Rob
