Prayer Streaming – #20

Prayerstreaming – the Committed Heart

Commitment seems to be all about intimacy. McHenry’s chapter frequently uses analogies with marriage relationships. Which as usual brings me back to a need to delve back into the Song of Songs. When we fail at praying without ceasing, it is imperative that we remember the God who loves us. Love that is incomprehensible. Love that simply welcomes us back and makes all things new. So what should I do in response to that love. McHenry helped me with this quote from Brother Lawrence:

All things are possible to those who believe, less difficult for those who hope, more easy to those who love and still easier to those who persevere in these three virtues.

So prayer streaming is all about believing, hoping and loving and practicing those everyday. Hmmm…sounds like Paul
Now abide these three: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. I Corinthians 13:13
So I pray out of love and the desire for intimacy with the Father, Son and Spirit, and in that my faith grows, my hope rises and my love increases. And I need all of those.
