2 Chronicles 7:14
[14] If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
Prayerlessness is a sin! Samuel said “God forbid that I should sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for you”. The Holy Spirit put it in Samuel’s heart to say this. The same Holy Spirit had it recorded in the Bible for us to read in the year 2007.
Luke 11:1
[1] And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.
We need to be like the disciples and say, “Lord, teach us to pray”, “Lord help me not to sin in ceasing to pray”.
Edwin Orr a leading scholar on world revivals says that one sure sign that revival is on the way is when people get to praying! Prayer has always preceded the world revivals. Another indicator that revival is on the way (based on history), is that women began to meet in small groups and pray.
One writer once said if you cease to pray then “you are a stranger to the great privilege that is offered to human beings”. Some of the greatest blessings that people enjoy come from prayer. In earnest prayer, you think as the Lord directs, and lose yourself in him.
