How vital is prayer to our spiritual development as a follower of Jesus? Is it a regular practice in your life? I love these thoughts about prayer:

“Prayer is God saturating our minds, or our thoughts, with His influence. Prayer will control your emotions and permit His truth to bring down the negative forces of darkness that are speaking lies to our minds and trying to corrupt our thoughts.” – Jim Maxim

I believe our commitment to and practice of prayer is a clear indication of where our relationship with Jesus is. It’s hard to maintain a relationship without communication. And the most influential relationship in our life should be steeped in consistent communication.

Take some time and pray today. Invest in the most important relationship, Jesus.
