be a prayer warrior.

Prayer is something that's becoming horribly overlooked. It's not cool to pray before you eat. It's not cool to pray in public. It's not cool to even talk about prayer.

"Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man."

~Luke 21:36

Yet prayer is one of the most important things we can have in our life. As I just read on Pinterest: "Living without prayer is like driving without gas. You can't run on empty. So you'd better gas up." 

Last night at a church young group thing, we were discussing prayer. One of the ministers said, "We should pray so much that no matter what comes our way, we can handle it by praying and knowing that God will help us."

The same minister also made a comment about the 'prayer warriors' in life. We all know those people that just pray their way through anything. They have no worries in life, and they're the first people we go to when we need someone to pray for us. Maybe it's our mom, or some other family member. Or even just someone at church, or in the blogging world.

Then I had the thought that we should all try to be prayer warriors. We have to pray through everything. I know that's hard. Praying isn't 'cool' these days. But if our friends can't accept that we pray, they can't accept us.

So pray. Maybe it isn't a huge part of your schedule. Make time for it. Eventually, you should pray so much that it's just like breathing to you. Become a prayer warrior.

"Pray without ceasing."

~1 Thessalonians 5:17
