Prayer as a Discipline and as a Lifestyle (part of our 40-Day Challenge)

We’re in our final week of the 40-Day Chal­lenge to fast and pray, and I want to con­tinue to encour­age you until the very end.

David Mathis at the Desir­ing God Blog has some great thoughts about the inter­sec­tion of dis­ci­pline and spon­tane­ity in the Christian’s prayer life.  God has cre­ated each of us very dif­fer­ently.  Some of us are very dis­ci­plined peo­ple who love to check things off of lists and who do not thrive on change.  Oth­ers are more spon­ta­neous, leav­ing plans and rou­tines in favor of the unknown.  Both types of peo­ple have strengths and weak­nesses, which is some­thing we would all do well to remem­ber when friends and fam­ily mem­bers who are wired dif­fer­ently get on our nerves.

My post is already longer than David’s (and not as good), so I’ll leave you with the encour­age­ment to read his thoughts.  Enjoy!
