Two minutes

​My spiritual mentor taught me that nothing of eternal importance ever happens apart from prayer.  If that is really true, than I have to ask the following question, “Why don’t we pray more often?”  If you’re like me, it’s often because I am so busy that I simply don’t set aside time to pray.  But what if each of us made it a priority to pray for just two minutes every single day?  Could two minutes really make a difference?  Many people don’t realize that prior to Abraham Lincoln giving his 2-minute Gettysburg Address, a famous silver-tongued orator of that day named Edward Everett spoke for nearly two hours.  Here’s my question, which speech made more of an impact on our country – Edward Everett’s two hour address or President Lincoln’s two minute speech?  Frankly, I have never run into a person who can quote from memory one line of Edward Everett’s two hour address, but most people can at least quote some of Abraham Lincoln’s two minute Gettysburg Address that began with the words, “Fourscore and seven years ago.”  Folks, listen, we should never underestimate the impact that two minutes of prayer every day can make in our lives, our families, our churches, our communities, and our country.  Folks listen, nothing of eternal importance ever happens apart from prayer.

We can also help carry others by using ‘we’ prayers instead of ‘me’ prayers. Like the Lord’s Prayer: “give us this day,” “forgive us,” “as we forgive....”
I try to remember to pray for all God’s children the things I pray for myself...it takes seconds to add “and also for all Your children.”
