Question:
They say, “Pray hardest when it’s hardest to pray,” but sometimes you don’t want to pray. Which is more important, to pray/read Bible when you don’t feel like it, or to be honest with God? Should we only pray/read when we want to?
Answer:
We should pray/read our Bibles, because He wants us to. “Pray without ceasing. In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you” (1 Thessalonians 5:17, 18). “The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much” (James 5:16). “As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the Word, that ye may grow thereby” (1 Peter 2:2). The Lord desires that we “meditate” (Joshua 1:8), and “study” (2 Timothy 2:15) His precious Word.
