As a church age, here in America, it would appear to me that we have done exactly the same as the prodigal son did in Luke chapter 15. We have taken this inheritance of the wonderful salvation God gave to us, and as a people we drifted far away from the heart of God, into a place where we spent this inheritance on ourselves. There is now a famine in the land and as he did we are starting to find out that many of God’s people don’t have adequate resource for ourselves, let alone, to make any kind of difference in the nation. But thank God, this young man had the courage to get up and begin to pray, and talk to his father again only to find that his father meet him with covering, empowerment, and an invitation on a journey to tell others of his mercy. Oh my brother my sister, get up again and head home to God and begin to pray.

It’s time to pray.
