Even retired i find life busy and try to concentrate on more urgent matters.<br />But prayer is the lifeblood of a christian, without it you die !<br />Thought i could add just one thought that explains my attitude.<br />Even in my early days as a christian some 51 years ago (blame your dad) i found a regular prayer and bible reading difficult for me but did struggle and maintained faily well a reading programme.<br />Years later found it still difficult to find a reguler time but did realise that i always seem to have a Jesus close and always ready for a chat ! Most bible reading now is following up either what i had read or heard. Reading about the bible seems to be almost as valuable as reading the `Good Book`. Reading how other famous christians read and understood the Bible, or even more of the history and its relevance to a specific time and/or situations.<br />Reading different versions seems a blessing too. Its surprising how one word changed makes a deeper understanding of scripture or even a new thought to an old passage.<br />Just recently after the service we were at as we celebrated the life of George Canty and heard how he died, taking hold of Jesu`s hand, i soon after read of the death of a american minister was found dead leaning across to an empty chair. The very chair he had been advised earlier to put beside himself when at prayer.<br />He had had difficulties in his prayer life until told that if he imagined Jesus sitting beside him, prayer would be easier. So he was known to have an empty chair beside him. Only guessing, but Jesus took him <br />Peter Baylissadrian2526https://www.blogger.com/profile/04314142401842891366noreply@blogger.com
