Do you remember pay phones? It is kind of the way he older generation tends to think about long distance phone calls today. We used to hoard the dime for the call until we really needed it.
Today there are those who restrict their ling distance calls because of the extra charges. Cell phones have changed all of that. Unless you are using a track phone, you have a plan that allows virtually unlimited calls and the charge is the same if you are like me and only use a few minutes, or if you are on the phone all the time, you might need to bump up your plan a little. On our land line at home, we have unlimited long distance for less than a basic plan for local calls used to cost us. The effect is that there is no hesitation in making a long distance call. I can be generous with others who don’t have that kind of plan and tell them to hang up and we call them back.
That is the kind of attitude we need to have about prayer. There are no extra fees to talk to God.
Your prayer life should flow freely from your heart. You should feel free to call, text and mobile-to-mobile our Lord about any and everything and, as a result, stay constantly connected to Him throughout the course of every day.
We should realize that His line is never busy, His ear never tires and He longs to connect with us more than an occasional time or two a week. I too can call (pray), text (journal), save a message (memorize Scripture) or return a message (praise Him) no matter the time or place!
Oh, if only God’s presence in my everyday life became as precious and desired as a teen’s cell phone use addiction! Perhaps this week when we spy a cell phone, let it trigger our desire to call upon the Lord all day long. He will answer every time. No roaming charges, no busy signals and best of all, no dropped calls! He will answer you every time!
