That is twenty hours of not praying. What a spiritual pigmy John Wesley was! I'm with Luther's quote on this. I believe Spurgeon made a comment about prayer regarding how he was praying on-and-off all the time. We should live in a prayerful way. If we are walking with the Lord, we should be able to address Him in every situation, naturally, easily. Only four hours a day? That is twenty hours of not praying.

Pastors generally pray so little. We mean to, we plan to, we even do sometimes. But oh that we would all pray more. 'Devote yourselves to prayer' Col 4 vs 1 I for one need to think on that word 'devote'. I am an advocate of the journal. Ron Klugs little book 'How to keep a spiritual journal' was helpful in getting me started. Thanks for the post. David Prayer. Pastors generally pray so little.

‘Devote yourselves to prayer’ Col 4 vs 1

I for one need to think on that word ‘devote’.

I used to be inspired by such quotes to try and prove myself worthy, but now I see they are just legalism in pious language. Our prayer life should infuse our whole lives and be combined with daily time for private meditation and prayer. Our prayer life should be expressed under the liberating freedom of grace, not the rigid bonds of legalistic rules. My prayer for today: Lord, keep me from legalism and laziness!

At the risk of sounding really unspiritual, I'll simply refer to Martin Luther's comment that our prayers should be "brief, frequent, and intense." ” John Wesley used to say that he thought very little of a man who did not pray for four hours every day.”

At the risk of sounding really unspiritual, I’ll simply refer to Martin Luther’s comment that our prayers should be “brief, frequent, and intense.”
