Our prayer life

We were at the usual Thursday morning Prayer meeting early this morning. We need this discipline. I am reminded of what Nouwen once said, "Prayer is not a preparation for work or an indispensable conditon for effective ministry. Prayer is life; prayer and ministry are the same and can never be divorced." We need to restore the centrality of prayer and worship in our Christian life. How often have we allowed pressure of work and the ever incresing demands on our time, to affect our prayer life. Let us pray without ceasing.
