Butterflies and the King

Butterflies and the King

8.27.15

"But I give myself unto prayer"

Psalm 109:4

"Fervent prayer is like a cannon planted at the gates of Heaven, it makes them fly open"

~Unknown~

As I return little by little to an active life following months of inactivity, I find that there are more and more distractions in my prayer life. I continue to devote myself to prayer, but the focus part is such hard work.

We need to pray without ceasing, we need to make it a critical part of our daily walk. Yet, I'm still embarrassed at all the times my mind wanders during prayer, outside thoughts creep in, other voices call me away from communion with my Lord.

I told my choir tonight that it was like having an audience with a King and as he spoke, I started around the room chasing a butterfly! 

What an insult to our Lord! 

So, devotion is my focus this week...tuning out the other voices....giving myself to prayer...fervent prayer...choosing the King instead of the butterfly!

May we seek His face before we seek any other today!
