Business Entrepreneurs: Are you too busy to pray?


Don Moen - Hallelujah to the lamb







Become Holy. Each one of us has a capacity to become holy and the way to holiness is prayer. – Mother Teresa

Has your business goal overruled your prayer life that you only pray in the morning when you woke up or only in the evening before you go to bed? If this is so, then you need to change because to live a successful Christian life with power and authority in Christ, we will need to be an early riser like Jesus.

Mark 1:35 - In the early morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house, and went away to a secluded place, and was praying there. Luke 5:16 - But Jesus Himself would often slip away to the wilderness and pray.

Daniel was a really busy man, a very senior politician who did not allow his busy schedule in administering the affairs of his country to disturb his seeking God day and night.. He maintained cordial relationship with God by seeking him three times daily.

Daniel 6:10 - Now when Daniel knew that the document was signed, he entered his house (now in his roof chamber he had windows open toward Jerusalem); and he continued kneeling on his knees three times a day, praying and giving thanks before his God, as he had been doing previously.

Whatever you are doing, specific time must be set aside for prayer no matter what else is going on. During the stresses and trials of life, we need to pray more not less. The title of Hybel's book, Too Busy Not to Pray, says it wellPrayer feeds the soul – as blood is to the body, prayer is to the soul – and it brings you closer to God. – Mother Teresa
