Tonight as I was preparing for bed, it occured to me that prayer should be like brushing my teeth. It's something I should do every day--at least once--to prevent decay.
Think of all the preventative things we do . . . we brush our teeth, we take our cars in for regularly scheduled oil changes. We visit our doctors for a yearly check up (okay, some of us do). We take vitamins, we excercise.
We do all these things in the hope of living a longer happier life, or to drive our car for longer.
Shouldn't we put the same effort into maintaining our spiritual life, as well? Reading the Bible, Prayer, attending church services . . . all these things will help us live longer happier spiritual lives.
Don't our souls deserve the same care we offer our bodies?
