Solomon's Porch Christian Community

The disciples that maintain a consistent prayer life are the ones that grow in Christ the most. No truer statement can be made. As Stonewall Jackson famously said, “It is good to get your dander up, but it is discipline that wins the day.” That is a fine Southern way of saying, “I hope you rise every morning excited to meet the Lord in prayer, but if you do not, I hope you pray anyway.” Why? Because it is those that pray anyway that the Lord rewards.

Consistent Prayer Is An Act of Faith

Coming to God by faith alone–acting in faith when everything else in your body and soul seem void of religious affection is pleasing to God. When all your unstable thoughts and feelings are pulling you in the other direction, yet you fall on your knees against their loud baying anyway, listening to the still small voice instead. That is applying the cross to your life. It is there we start to learn what Jesus means when He tells us to take up our cross.

Consistent Prayer Brings Divine Reward

“And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him (Hebrews 11:6).” He rewards those that seek Him. Seeking is an intense and constant looking. Seeking God by its very nature means to be constant or consistent in prayer. The reward for our consistency is to get more and longer glimpses of the Lord. Through consistent prayer we accumulate time in the light of His countenance, seeing him with a different set of eyes, the eyes of our hearts (Ephesians 1:15-23). It is with the eyes of faith that we behold Him and are molded into His image.

“And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit (2 Corinthians 3:18).”
