Excerpt from He Will Hide Me in His Pavilion by Byron Gene Mace
"God created us to be His temple (1 Cor. 6.19-20). and to be in communion with
Him, everyday. We must establish our bodies as a place of prayer. This is our
reasonable service of worship (See Romans 12.1.), part of presenting our bodies as a
living sacrifice. Our prayer and praise is communing intimately with God. "Everything
is prayer," a Jewish rabbi-professor once said to my Christian Education professor,
Dr. Wiseman. He continued, "There is nothing secular." How do I want to
communicate with/ to God? If everything is prayer, then my worst prayers are saying
nothing to God, or being faithless to God. If I am faithless, then having not pleased
God, my creator, then I am praying to-satan. Nothing (no communication) brings no
power, nothing manifests, except the effect of faithlessness. Continual prayer
establishes the mission, vision and calling of your life. We are built up by prayer. A
poor foundation makes for a poor building. Progress will be hindered and very
quickly come to a halt, if you do not pray. A strong "building [up]" takes a strong,
spirit-empowered prayer-life. Before anything and man was created, God
Communicated/ prayed with each member of the Trinity. Prayer keeps us connected
to God. Prayer strengthens you. Prayer empowers you and
energizes you. Prayer directs your life."
