March 13, 2009 Living Prayer

James 5:16....The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. NIV

Have you ever thought about what prayer looks like? Our perceptions of sin and prayer is something outwardly visible, like a mouth moving or words spoken or heard or something being done.

The Word of God is alive, It is a discerner of the hidden thoughts and intents of the heart. Just waking up each day with our glorious, continuously functioning bodies is ongoing prayer, infinite communication with our Creator. Hidden, living prayer is our breath and our heartbeat, no spoken words are needed (although we do this).

I just finished sketching some leaves in a piece of art. This is not it but the title of this photo 'A Living Prayer'. This is what I want to be, not just prayer at certain times of the day but 'Living Prayer', every breath, every heartbeat.

We are leaving for Austin for some family time, so I won't be sending an email out until Monday morning. Know that my breath and heart beats with yours, it is our ongoing prayer.
