It's that time of year. Resolutions are made. Fitness clubs and slimming programmes get oversubscribed. Then, for most, the promises are forgotten in the hurly burly of daily life.
My own resolve- which I hope I will be able to keep- is to pray more. I know prayer works. I've seen the results. But so often, it gets crowded out. A good example of the urgent replacing the important.
So this year, I will pray more. For my family, the city I live in, the nation I am part of, the world I can affect.
C H Spurgeon, the great 19th century preacher, said "prayer is the lisping of the believing infant, the shout of the fighting believer, the requiem of the dying saint." I'm ready to shout.
