I was getting ready to go have lunch the other day, and was quite proud of myself.

Sometimes we get busy, even with good and wholesome things, and we forget to pray. When this occurs, in a sense we are saying: “I don’t have time to pray.” But this is far from the truth. The truth is, we don’t have time not to pray. Prayer is simply too important… far more important than so many things that we busy ourselves with each day of our lives.
There are several reasons that we do have time to pray. First, we have time to pray because each morning dawns only because our God permits it to be so. If God gives us breath, we have time to pray.
Secondly, we have time to pray because we do not know what the day may bring (James 4:13-17). Today, some people will starve to death. Today, some will lose their lives, while others will lose someone that is very precious to them. Today, many are in danger of losing their souls. The truth is, we don’t know what may happen to us. Today, we must pray!

We may be busy people, perhaps too busy, but we simply do not have time not to pray. The apostle Paul says, “Pray without ceasing” (1 Thess. 5:17).
