Praying and Not Praying

 

It’s a prayer meeting.
Someone else is praying aloud.
And all too often, my mind wanders.

 

        • I make a mental grocery list
        • I ponder a problem at work
        • I plan what I’ll wear tomorrow
        • I daydream of sunnier days

I’m not praying. 

James 5:16 (NIV)
The prayer of a righteous person
is powerful and effective.

Not praying? It lacks power and accomplishes next to nothing.
