pray without ceasing (part 2)

"And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come."  (Revelation 4:8)

Maintaining this blog requires no little commitment of time.  Why do I do it?  Because, I love to share the life-giving truths and perspectives God shares with me.  That's the way Love is.  And I find the more fully I yield myself to Christ, the more fully he expresses himself in and through me.  That relationship is most precious to me.  I have learned, too, that trying to share the beautiful things of God can sometimes result in frustration--as there often seems to be so little interest on the part of most others, to hear.  But that's O.K..  For, I have learned to walk with God, alone.  So, I am not alone.

In the image, above, the shadowy figure of a man is greatly disproportionate to the size of the buildings.  He seems to be walking through, and looking down upon, or brooding over, the city.  The surreal scene suggests, to my mind, a glimpse into the spiritual realm: in which the human figure portrays a man concerned for the city--towering above it, and praying for it.

In my mind, the above image represents me (as well as everyone else who is) praying for Revival, for cities and nations.  The question then arises, Can my prayer really make any difference in the life and future of a city, or even of a nation?  Although we may attempt to answer that question on principle, yet, in order to answer it in fact, a more fundamental question must first be answered, namely: Am I on praying ground? (Thanks, Dee C., for the phrase, "praying ground".)
