It is no news today that people always have reasons why they don’t pray regularly. Conducive environment is usually top on the list.
Come to think of it, what if you have been busy throughout the day, and you are free in the evening when fagged and tired; do you pray? Paul’s admonition re-occurs to me when I’ve not found a comfortable environment. “I will therefore that men pray EVERYWHERE, lifting up holy hands without wrath and doubting.” (I Timothy 2:8)
It was said of Kathryn Kulman that, she always mutters some things anywhere she’s found, even while walking. She latter told her congregation that she had cultivated the habit of praying in the spirit always, every time.
A beloved brother relayed to me sometimes ago his experience in the University. As his manner was, he was praising God in the bathroom while having his bath, suddenly a man of another faith shouted at him in condemnation for calling upon God in an ungodly place like the bathroom.
I thought we are the circumcision that worship God in the spirit and have no confidence in the flesh. (Phillipians.3:3). Our spiritual communication and relationship with God does not respect any environment. It is purely spiritual. Next time, wherever you find yourself, at whatever time of the day, just keep praying.
