A daily devotional through the Bible speaking with God as Adam and Eve may have in the garden east of Eden. Our website http://alittlewalkwithgod.com

summary

Why would Paul need to tell you to stay alert when you pray? Does he expect you to fall asleep? Well, perhaps. When do you pray? Is it when you go to bed? Do you give God the scraps of your time at the end of the day when you are tired and have no energy left over for Him? Maybe you have your devotions at the very beginning of the day when you are trying to shake off sleep and you’re barely awake.

How are you to hear God's voice if you give Him only the times when you are only half awake? Paul’s admonishment to stay alert when you pray is as important today as it was when he wrote it to the people in Colossae, maybe more so. With your rushed schedules, busy lives, and sleepless nights, the average person seldom gets enough sleep, so early morning and late night you are often not at your best. 

When you read God's word you need to be alert.
