Daniel6:10 But when Daniel learned that the law had been signed, he went home and knelt down as usual in his upstairs room, with its windows open toward Jerusalem. He prayed three times a day, just as he had always done, giving thanks to his God( NLT)
There was an outstanding government official in the bible. His name is Daniel. He was hated for being godly.
His colleagues in government decided to set him up. They requested the king not to allow anyone pray in the name of any god except to the king. Whoever goes contrary to the rule would be cast into the lion's den. The king consented to this.
When Daniel heard about it, the scripture has this to say: "...he went home and knelt down AS USUAL in his upstairs room, with its windows open toward Jerusalem. HE PRAYED three times a day, just as he had always done, giving thanks to his God" ( Daniel 6:10 NLT).
I want you to take note of the phrases and words in caps, "As usual", prayer was a usual thing in his life not something done occasionally. He prayed thrice everyday.
Daniel had a prayer culture that cannot be broken or disturbed by any rule. As a government official who had many responsibilities and duties to discharge, he had a prayer culture that nothing could change.
Busy schedule is not an excuse for prayerlessness. You are not busy like Daniel was.As a believer, you must develop a culture of prayer.
Your prayer life is that private time spent in the place of prayer alone with God. This is not thesame as joining a prayer meeting online and offline.
Never substitute a prayer meeting/programme for your private prayer time alone with God. Mighty men in the kingdom were baked in the oven of private prayer.
Some persons do not pray in private anymore. They equate prayer meetings( online&offline) to having a prayer life. Saying "Amen" to prayer is not prayer life. If those praying for you were raised that way, they wouldn't be where they are today.
True prayer life is a private life in our closet alone with God.
Prayer is a life line for a Christian, don't joke with your prayer life. Nothing should stop you from praying not even your job. If you're too busy to pray, then you're unnecessarily busy.
