No Shilly - Shallying, Just Pray About Everything

The Cursed Fig Tree
Jesus was matter-of-fact: "Embrace this God-life. Really embrace it, and nothing will be too much for you. This mountain, for instance: Just say, 'Go jump in the lake'—no shuffling or shilly-shallying—and it's as good as done. That's why I urge you to pray for absolutely everything, ranging from small to large. Include everything as you embrace this God-life, and you'll get God's everything. And when you assume the posture of prayer, remember that it's not all asking. If you have anything against someone, forgive—only then will your heavenly Father be inclined to also wipe your slate clean of sins." Mark 11: 22-25
I am consistant, and have been for years, with my Bible reading. I've really embraced the life journal, as well as now reading through the Bible in 3 years (twice) as a congregation, but I need to live more of a life of prayer. Praying about everything, and yes, not just in the asking. I love that we have grown corporately in prayer, and we  are praying together as a staff on Wednesdays, and the pre-service prayer on Sundays, and the morning prayers at the office.
