Don't Drift on Purpose

2 Samuel 11:1 (NLT)

In the spring of the year,[a] when kings normally go out to war, David sent Joab and the Israelite army to fight....  However, David stayed behind in Jerusalem.

We must not be in the wrong place at the wrong time.  This is how David's problem with adultery and murder began.   

He was supposed to lead his army into battle, but he allocated his responsibility to Joab.  David laid down his purpose.  He took time off.  We aren't made for the sidelines.  

Our lack of prayer limit God.  Prayer is the key to our Spiritual passion.  We must not run from darkness, but run to it.  After all, we are the light of the world. 

Psalm 144:1-2 (NLT)

A psalm of David.

1 Praise the Lord, who is my rock.
    He trains my hands for war
    and gives my fingers skill for battle.
2 He is my loving ally and my fortress,
    my tower of safety, my rescuer.
He is my shield, and I take refuge in him.

    He makes the nations submit to me. 

    

If you don't know how to pray, pray.  It's our on the job training.  We must not delegate our prayers and purpose to others.  

We must not delegate our purpose this summer. We must pray.  The enemy wants to limit our prayers because he knows that our prayers limit him.
