wait on the Lord

But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength...

Too many people think of prayer only as asking God for what they want. But prayer is much more than that. Prayer is simply communication and communion with Almighty God. Somehow, in the act of prayer we receive a transfusion of God's strength. Pray, lest you enter into temptation."

Being strong enables you to not enter into temptation. Time spent in prayer strengthens you spiritually. Temptation strikes us all. But we decide whether to yield to the temptation, or not. But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, According to Jude, praying builds you up, or edifies you. Prayer is a spiritual exercise; the more you do it the stronger you get spiritually. Some may protest that they don't know how to pray. Just begin to talk to God. And listen for His response, not through voice, but through His Word, or thoughts in line with His Word. God is not so particular about how His children visit with Him. Just that we do, when was the last time your Heavenly Father heard from you?
