#MolueMonologues: Is prayer for the lazy?

 #MolueMonologues: Is prayer for the lazy?

Absolutely not.

The lazy don’t pray — they prey.

They’re the ones who exploit others:

the thieves, the corrupt officials, the dishonest few who harm the many.

The strong are the ones who pray —

for strength, for wisdom, for grace.

Don’t get it twisted.

Prayer is for those who’ve done everything humanly possible,

yet still face a wall that won’t move.

Sometimes the answer to their prayer is:

“Wait.”

“You haven’t done enough.”

“Change.”

“You already have what you need.”

A life without prayer?

Hmmmm…

Imagine if lions could pray.

(But they don’t — it’s not in their nature.)

Now imagine men who won’t pray.

See the danger?

They say standing upright gave Homo erectus an evolutionary edge.

What did he do with that advantage?

He built tools, forged paths, created language… developed new habits LIKE PRAYING… the first stirrings of culture) - a culture that put him at the top of the food chain….

It’s the very nature of man to pray.

Evolution drops (not add) redundancy. As men drop habits like prayer, that too is evolution….

….And the civilization which PRAYS, that is the civilization which will thrive.

Read that again and then look around you.

Let me say that again….

….the civilization which PRAYS, that is the civilization which will thrive.

Whilst the civilization which PREYS on God, which has developed a theology that has God bound, like the genie in Aladdin’s lamp, which also increasing rejects struggling humanity…

…., which equates struggling with laziness, not being “right with God”, that civilization will strive to survive.

At this stage in human civilization, there’s more hope for one of the great religions than there is for the other.

One day not too far hence, I fully expect B that in the assemblies we F that religion for which there is more hope songs like the ones we sang as 10 year olds will ring out:

Don’t be tired in you hope.

Don’t be tired in you works

Don’t be tired in praying…

We don’t know when HE shall come.

Yes indeed.

They too are expecting him.

(You reading this far already know what I’m talking about).

“Return to me” Verbatim Christian Network loves to say.

Indeed…

Start new habits - like PRAYING 5 times a day or more. It’s the only thing that will make the bride (the church) comely and hasten the return of the bridegroom….

Let him who have ears hear.

She who has ears hear!

I rest my case

Postscript:

Let your total submission be evident in your prayers.

And if you need help, seek out those who are totally submitted (seek huidance though teh wordage of their prayers

Those who submit to the Almighty pray: “Let me be more Christlike today than I was yesterday.”

Those who submit to Mammon pray:

“Let me make more illicit gain today than I did yesterday.”

But the spiritually dead - the ones who prey on society —

don’t just seek more illicit gain.

They crave the power to harm,

to cause more suffering,

to spread doom, gloom,

and the darkness within their souls everywhere.

(You already know those of whom I speak)....
