I knew of an able preacher greatly used of the Lord in evangelism and Bible conferences. He was a busy, busy man. There came the occasion when someone frankly asked him, \u201cDoctor, tell us about your prayer life. How do you pray? How much do you pray?\u201d<\/p>\n
The man was embarrassed as he replied, \u201cI must confess to you something I have not confessed before. I do not have the time to pray as I used to. My time alone with God has been neglected.\u201d<\/p>\n
Not too long afterward, that preacher sustained a serious failure. It brought his ministry to an abrupt end, and he was put on the shelf.<\/p>\n
If we want to be honest with God, we will take solemnly the admonition to pray without ceasing. God\u2019s work on this earth languishes when God\u2019s people give up their ministries of prayer and supplication. I cannot tell you why this is true, but it is true.<\/p>\n
