“Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart.” — Luke 18:1 (NKJV)

As a master communicator, the Holy Spirit constantly seeks to reveal things to us and encourages us to pray. However, because we live in a world where everyone is busy throughout the day, we often find it difficult to follow the Spirit’s guidance. Instead of praying, we postpone it, telling ourselves we will do it at the right time. Yet, I have discovered that a “right time” rarely just appears. In a fast-paced world, the right time is the one you create, not the one the world hands to you.

The world will always present issues that demand your attention. It is your responsibility to schedule your days and set priorities, which must include prayer. If you do not intentionally make time for it, that perfect moment will never come. You must make a conscious decision to create time for prayer, letting the specific promptings the Holy Spirit places in your heart be a major priority.

When the Holy Spirit asks you to do something, it is never for His benefit, but for your own good. That quiet prayer He prompts you to pray—whether in your office, in your car, or at your place of business—might be exactly what saves you from an accident, harm, or evil manipulation. Therefore, I encourage you to take the communications of the Holy Spirit very seriously.

The enemy will always try to make you feel like there is still plenty of time. In truth, whenever the Holy Spirit asks you to pray, it means an urgent matter must be handled spiritually to either prevent a crisis or manifest a blessing in the physical realm. Therefore, take action today. What has God laid on your heart to pray about over the past few months? Who has He asked you to intercede for recently?

Do not delay any further. Pray now, and step into your miracle. Every instruction from God sets you up for a blessing, so why waste another moment?

Today’s Rhema

The communications of the Holy Spirit are for your own good; take them seriously and act!

Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father, I am sorry for all the promptings I have ignored in the past. I repent today, and I declare that from now on, I will take Your guidance seriously. I will attend to Your voice immediately so that my miracles may be established, in the name of Jesus. Amen!
