Top Excuses for Not Praying in the Morning

10. I got twisted up in my sheets and couldn't escape.
9. I didn't have time after reading Psalms for my devotional
8. I was planning my next vacation on the maps in the back of my Bible.
7. I already had a "quiet" time for the past 8 hours.
6. I didn't have time after my 10K morning jog and left my knee pads at the rugby field!
5. My pillow had me in a head hold and I couldn't escape!
4. The TV was blaring late into the night so I couldn't sleep!
3. Alright.. Whose the prankster who put super glue on my pillow?
2. Quiet time? In my house it is NEVER quiet!

1. James 1 says "the prayers of a righteous man accomplish much." That leaves me out!

Do you ever feel you have to be spiritual to pray? To have your confessions all up to date? To be a holy and righteous man to have your prayers answered?

Truth is, God delights in the prayers of his people. Prayer is the best means to draw near God. Prayer is the time to catch up on your confessions and to intercede for others. And when we draw near to God we will know his heart and our prayers will be in agreement with his will.. When that happens we will see great answers in prayer! So instead of making excuses, let's pray and expect great things!
