I’ve been in my fair share of meetings this last month… it seems that each new week has brought with it one meeting or two.
With the exception of 2, the bulk of these meetings have all ended in the same way…. in prayer.
There is something remarkable about talking about life issues, talking about work issues, and then pausing at the end of the meeting and talking to the only One who is able to properly address all our issues and problems.
It reminds me that without God we are hopeless. Unless God intervenes in our plans and changes them, what we are attempting to do will ultimately fail.
When we pause to pray, we are declaring our dependence upon the Lord. Jesus said in John 15:5: "I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” (NIV)
Unless we remain connected to Jesus we are unable to function properly.
