Our reality is that we do life in the thick of it. And while God exists in the thick places, just as much as He does in the thin places, we typically have a much easier time experiencing Him in those thin places.
Our ministry contexts are filled with demands, responsibilities, tasks, deadlines, opportunities, relationships, roles, etc.
One of the biggest pitfalls that those of us in ministry leadership face is getting too caught up in the doing of ministry that we cease to simply be with Jesus.
Prayer is meant to be the life-line between Jesus and His followers. It’s meant to be the means by which we bring our will into conformity with His. It’s meant to be a means through which He shapes us, prepares us, equips us and speaks to us — in every way — for everything.
