I thought to mitigate my concerns by beginning in the spirit of confession: by far my most consistent impulse as a minister is to enter the study and immediately set myself to reading the text of Scripture and planning the best method of attack when I work on a sermon. Far too often I hate to admit that my first impulse is not to seek the face of God and beg him to feed me and his people once again.
Truthfully, I am often well into sermon preparation on a Monday morning before I begin to sense that I have hit a logjam of sorts.
Only then do I consider how prayerless I have been — how task oriented I tend to be. On my worst days I come to believe that earnest, needy, serious prayer is optional. Why does he assume we will pray in private? In part because he knows for a fact that we need God, and we need all he can provide. We see the practice of earnest prayer in Scripture. Earnest prayer is serious, eager, intense prayer.
