Today was the second day of our “Five Days of Prayer.” We pray from 5:00 to 10:00 am and 5:00 to 10:00 pm Monday through Friday. We do this four times a year. My goal is to pray for 30 of the 50 hours of prayer. It has been a very good prayer time. Last night and tonight we had about 90 people in the prayer room. During those prayer times, many people would pray out loud, so I didn’t feel compelled to pray out loud as much as usual. I listen and agree in my heart with those who are praying out loud. During these times, my mind doesn’t wander, but it goes into this sort of spiritual mode where I am thinking about God, heaven, angels, eternity, and my past life, reminiscing on how much God has blessed me. Even though I work hard to stay focused on what those around me are praying so that I can enter into their prayers mentally, I enjoy these wanderings off into spiritual bliss. I don’t try to go into these times of spiritual daydreaming; it just happens periodically. However, it isn’t that surprising because of the strong sense of God’s presence in the prayer room. I often switch my mental meanderings to thinking about people I know who have no faith. I feel very sorry for people who don’t have the peace, security, and joy I have in my relationship with the Lord. If you live close enough to attend part of these prayer events, you should give it a shot to see what happens.
