Have you ever had one of those friends who – when you’re with him or her – they are great! Fun to be with and apparently very glad to be with you? But then you’re not around for a while, and you notice that every time you get together, it’s because you took the initiative?
God invites us, even urges us to draw near to him through prayer. What difference does it make? When you go through life strengthened by a regular and strong habit of devoted prayer with God – speaking and listening – you go remembering that nothing can harm you, for you are sheltered in the arms of the great King.
