Dear LifeSpring Family,
In the past several months, I have been mulling over this question of, “Am I a Christian who prays or am I a praying Christian?”
I think I heard this question/challenge in one of P2C’s weekly staff chapel time. It got me thinking about my approach to my prayer life.
After much thought and listening to God, I have come to see that I am neither. I have come to see myself on the continuum between a Christian who prays and a praying Christian. Over the years and many grey hairs, I am moving towards becoming a praying Christian. Understanding that prayer is as natural as breathing, embodying prayer in my life, and having a spouse who is always praying and whose first response to life is prayer have helped me in my journey towards becoming a praying Christian.
I am encouraged by LifeSpring’s move towards becoming a praying church by having the opportunity of weekly prayer times together.
So, I am neither a Christian who prays or a praying Christian but a Christian on a journey towards discovering the power of prayer.
Grace upon grace,
Jerry
