“I haven’t prayed in a while.”
I say this to myself too often. How long has it been? Sometimes a few hours, sometimes most of a day (or more). Where has my mind been? Where has my heart been?
I sense the gentle but corrective nudge of the Father. He gets my attention by implanting in my mind the same question he asked Adam in the garden: “Where are you?” (Genesis 3:9). I’m then forced to ask myself, Where have I been? Why have I been prayerless?
