Have you ever asked God how much time you should dedicate to prayer?
Have you ever asked God how much time He would like you to read the word each day?
Have you ever sought God about how much time He wants you to seek Him, to bask in His presence, to worship Him?
At first, when you find out, it may seem like a lot of time
Until you get used to it, it may seem like you don’t have the right attitude
or the right mindset or that your flesh is in the way
Self-discipline comes into play when our spirit is willing
but our flesh is weak
And He went a little further, and fell on His face, and prayed, saying,
O My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from Me:
nevertheless not as I will, but as Thou wilt.
And He cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep,
and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?
Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation:
the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. Matthew 26:39-41
The ultimate goal is to allow our spirit to win out over our flesh,
the spirit, which is in Christ Jesus, is to rule the flesh,
so that we obey God and lean toward His understanding and His ways
That comes with choices and effort and much practice
None of us will ever be there completely while we live on Earth,
no matter how much we desire to serve the Lord
Jesus is not looking for the same sort of perfection we think of,
He is looking for a perfect heart,
one whose desires are fully and completely toward the Lord
and one who is willing to obey
I know also, my God, that thou triest the heart,
and hast pleasure in uprightness.
As for me, in the uprightness of mine heart
I have willingly offered all these things:
and now have I seen with joy thy people,
which are present here, to offer willingly unto thee. 1 Chronicles 29:17
Seek the Lord about your prayer life and your fasting and your reading
and all things spiritual
Keep those and dedicate them to the Lord
Not every one can or will seek God about this,
they may just continue to do what they think is best
That is their choice
We make choices every day
and sometimes many choices per day that pertain to the Kingdom
Your way or God’s way?
Be brave and ask.
