Is it really necessary for us to spend time in prayer in the morning?

I think so.

ll dark, Jesus got up, left the house, and went away to a secluded place, and was praying there.

Mark 1:35

How many posts have I done on this one thing?  I don’t know, but it has been a common theme here because it is so important for each of us, and yet it can be so easy to put off. Early morning prayer is important because it will set the tone for the entire day, it will help us to focus on what is really important in life instead of being pulled here and there by things that are urgent.

Important or urgent; entire books have been written on the difference between the two, and still we skip the important in favor of the urgent.  Prayer in the morning is important.

Jesus spent time in prayer at the beginning of the day, and for me this really underscores how important a habit this is to develop.  If it was important enough for Jesus to do, how could it be that I can skip it?  We should ponder this point!

Have a great weekend!
