celebration of this holy season

this year perhaps more that any other I have felt a passion to pray-

Prayer is warfare. And we are all asked to enlist in the battle. There has been a feeling over the last two years or so to be demoralized by the enemy, not willing to pay the price that comes with a kingdom awareness.

Lord I want more than anything to be strengthened once again to be a vigorous warrior.

I've been a handy craftsman but not a real warrior. I think a part of the bent of position comes with the fact that I never seemed to see God answer the way I expected Him to answer. So prayer became a rudementary task of ten minutes a day-- with a few seasons of prolonged prayer.

Like Jacob holding on to the angel... I must wrestle and not relent. So I've decided to pray for an hour a day-- a vow, if you will through this holy season. I hesitated to write this because i don't want to appear sanctimonious. Of all people I have little room for boastfulness (plus I've just begun- what's there to boast about?) But after my first day of this vow I decided that I will record God's revelation on this blog-- I'm sure much of it will seem to be of interest to no one but me but I truely expect to hear from God this season.

Today my prayers were prayers of repentance and petition. I had the opportunity to go many places during the hour. More later...

Blessings on your journey! Spend just enough time in the past to recognize the faults, make adjustments to your thinking, journal the experience and continue the journey to use that which you have learned.
