Where Do We Seek Comfort

And it happened on the next day that the distressing spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied inside the house. So David played music with his hand, as at other times; but there was a spear in Saul's hand.  1 Samuel 18:10

Saul and a distressing spirit, we know where that spear will go at least one time! Here in this verse we find a couple of methods or means we use to seek comfort in the world, music and weapons.  Comfort, we need it in this disturbing world. Many ways and means have been used, but all of them will need to be used over and over again. And that includes prayer. While prayer to God our Father should be our first recourse to comfort, we cannot get by with just one. God wants to hear from you and me, so He made it so that one quick prayer dashed off to Him like a quick text to someone we don't really want to talk to won't do it for constant comfort. 

So seek out the deep prayer, the immersive prayer... the prayer where we don't fall asleep, maybe? Although useful at bedtime, the falling asleep prayer should not be the only one we keep with God and His Son each day. Prayer training? Yes, it may seem strange, but if we want to get better at a thing, we need to train.

Have a prayerful week in Christ Jesus!
