Prayer like water

Understand this, prayer is a duty. It isn't really something that you can lack and have a decent relationship with God. When we don't take time to pray, even when it's praying for a specific thing, we are unable to grow deeper with God. I truly mean unable. You can read your Bible every day, visit every church service you can but without prayer you can only grow so far. You are a seed, the church is the soil and the Bible is our leaves, but prayer is like the water that causes the plant to push through the soil so that its leaves can take in the Son. Without the Son we are dead... period. Get yourself a-prayin' don't let the Word of God become like withered leaves to you; don't let church services become nothing but parched soil. Tonight I will be praying my friends. God tells us to pray one for another (James 5:16). Let us all pray one for another that we may be healed and lifted up (that is encouraged; don't pray for people to become prideful haha) God wants to hear our petitions and honors our prayers for each other.
