Magnificent Prayer #130
I saw the Spirit come down from heaven as a dove and remain on him.
John 1:32
The instinct of prayer to us is like the wing of a bird to a bird and the fin of a fish to a fish. The wing of the bird demands the air, the fin of the fish demands the water. The instinct of prayer demands GOD. Therefore the only monstrosity of nature, just as much a monstrosity as a wingless bird or a finless fish, is the prayerless man or woman, because the deepest and most real instinct they have is not satisfied.
ARTHUR F. WINNINGTON INGRAM
Pray About It: If you are a Christian, the instinct to pray is natural. You must pray; you’re compelled to speak to Him who loves you. To have no desire to pray is to be deformed spiritually. However, this deformity is quickly healed by a fresh understanding of God and His love.
Christian, use your wings today to fly. Use your fin to sail through the water of life with ease. Follow your instinct and pray until you know that you’ve accomplished your goal.
If the spiritual life be healthy, under the full power of the Holy Spirit, constant prayer will be natural.
