Mark 6:12 "Jesus went out to the mountain to pray and continued to pray all night long." Jesus was not giving God His prayer list, He was seeking wisdom from His Father, so the Father's will would be what Jesus did. I am not proud of the fact that I cannot remember spending "all night in prayer". I am asking God to give me (and us) a desire and an ability to pray for an extended time (and enjoy it). Not to tell Him what we want done but to ask Him what He wants us to do. There are obviously many things we have not learned about prayer; if we can tap into the connection that God wants with us, prayer will never be a chore again. Like everything, we must begin and put discipline into our daily time of prayer. As we get better at "enjoying our times in God's presence" we will be drawn back to Him just for the fellowship we have and as we decrease our talking "at Him" and train our ears to "hear what He is saying" we can enter a new level of relationship with Him.
There are things the Lord is willing to show us, are we willing to spend the time with Him to see them?
Today is not an accident. There are no surprises for the Lord. He has planned out your moments and the wisest decision anyone can make is to find His plan and walk in it completely. Our issue is we do not consult Him and then wonder why He is not leading us. He not only wants us to ask Him what is best, He wants us to seek Him before we begin anything. Psalm 68:19 "Bless the Lord who daily loads us with benefits". Seek Him first and live out the best days of your Life.
