Topic:
Battling In Prayer
Battling our ego in prayer is a reality we must not gloss over. We all
have egos. We all have that voice in us that screams out, "I", "me",
and "mine". When we pray, we must pray for a diminished ego before God. When you
are consumed by your own life, consumed by your own worries, and consumed by your own
problems, then prayer becomes all about you instead of all about others and doing what God
wants you to do. In these times when you are consumed with your own life, it is hard to
pray unselfishly. However, in these times, you are to pray even when you cannot pray in
abandonment of your ego. At any time, when you cannot pray you are to pray anyway. When
you are not in the mood to pray, when you are too sick to pray, when you have lost touch
with God, pray anyway. God knows what you are going through and He also hears you whether
you think He hears you or not. One of the difficult things to do when you don't want to
pray is to pray. No matter what the circumstances might be, you are to pray. Even if it
seems like you are just going through the motions, go through the motions anyway, for the
Lord hears you and He is near to you even when you are not near to Him. It may be hard to
believe, but God is more glorified by those who struggle for Him than those who find it
easy to always do godly things and find it easy to be godly people.
