Flexibility in Prayer

Nowadays we all of us expecting flexibility in all the activities. Starting from study till the end of retirement we require flexibility. Most of us search job where we can get flexible hours. We will keep on searching to satisfy our need. Flexible hour gives us to sleep till 11.00am, do our personal works, and book thakal ticket for all of our family members and friends. Even though we dint get time to think of our daily prayer, bible study and fasting. We will see what God except from us???.......

In the Gethsemane garden Jesus request his disciple to pray one hour. Matthew 26:40 says, “Could you men not keep watch with me one hour?” At this time disciple does not have any commitment. They do not know the forthcoming problem. So they have relaxed there. Here he has not mentioned any time to pray. He expects from us one hour for a day. If our boss or our higher official called for an hour we rush up ourselves and reached their at any cost. But for God things what we are doing. We can select our own time. Shall we????????. Are we postponing the time when we remember God things? We have tempted to do so. But with God help we could overcome. May God help us to escape from the temptations.
