Breathing problem

“Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray always and not to lose heart.” – Luke 18:1

John Hyde who was known as “Apostle of prayer” came to India as a missionary and it would be no exaggeration to say that he spent his whole life in prayer. Sometimes even ten days were spent continuously in prayers and fasting by him. At times he spent the whole night in prayer to God. His friends were astonished at his life of prayer and asked him how it was possible. His answer to their query was that only prayer could make us have close intimacy with God and we could win souls for Christ. Prayer on knees is the breath of life for our soul. His heart longed for more and more time for prayer each day. 

Jesus Christ offered up prayers with loud crying and tears. His sweat was like drops of blood fallen to the ground. He spent the whole night in prayer to God. He slipped away to the wilderness or left for the mountain to pray alone. A man of God says, “Just like the eyes of the tourists who reach a lovely place, search for new spots, the eyes of Jesus longed for a serene place to pray alone wherever He went.”

If Christ Jesus had to pray to this extent, how much more should we pray? Yes, prayer is the breath of life for our soul. If there is any difficulty in breathing, the respiratory system has a problem. Likewise, if we find it difficult to pray, something is wrong with our inner man.

Dear men of God, in day today life we must have the practice of taking every small and great matter to our Lord in prayer and feeling free to converse with Him. If we gain such fellowship with God, we will be filled with the spirit of prayer that day. Our prayer will not be a ceremony or a tough task. When we pray honestly for the little burden laid in our heart by God, we can feel that we are given more burden in our hearts. In this way we can also become a prayer warrior like John Hyde.
