PRAY AND BE BLESSED
The hotline connect between God and humanity is prayer. It is prayer that makes a person vibrant and effective. The powerful preaching, authoritative teaching and the command over the nature, sin, sickness and demons vested in the prayer life of Jesus. In today’s Gospel passage, Jesus spends the whole night in prayer and the next day selects his team of twelve from a band of followers. People flocked to Jesus, to hear, get healed and even just to touch him in order to receive his power of blessing.
The power of Jesus subsisted in the prayer life of Jesus. In the light of the day’s Gospel let us examine our prayer life. Do we always make God as our point of reference in all our actions and decisions in life or only when we need him desperately? Turn to God at all moments of life: Joy, sorrow, sadness, sickness, exuberance, confusion, misunderstanding, helplessness, failures and rejection making his presence powerful in our life. Stay prayerful and stay blessed. Let our mind and heart resonate with the prayer: “Lord Jesus help us to be connected with you always in prayer”.
