Exercise for Your Soul

Exercise for Your Soul

Can you think of any other exercise that yields more results than prayer?

• We can converse with the God of the universe. When we bow our heads and utter God’s name, we have an audience with a king more powerful than the leader of any country on earth.
• We’re reminded that we’re not alone. Even after a terrible tragedy or trial, God waits to be with us in prayer. Our trust is stretched and we gradually gain perspective.
• We’re united to God and to other believers. When we pray for a sister, we’re joined with her and with others who have the same desire. Our bond with others is strengthened.
• We grow when we pray. By uniting our wills with God’s, we can see ourselves making progress toward becoming more like him. Our faith is flexed.
• We wee God answer. Friends are healed. Children begin a relationship with Jesus. Patience appears in the face of trials. Jobs are provided. Our spirits expand.
• We learn to wait. When answers are slim, we learn that God is still at work while we wait. Our patience develops.

There is no other exercise that yields more results in our souls than prayer. Want to get your soul in shape? How about bending those knees?
