Too Busy Not to Pray
To people in the fast lane, determined to make it on their own, prayer is an embarrassing interruption,” says Bill Hybels on page 7 of this book.
Does that ring true for you? As young people today, aren’t most of us trying to “make it on our own”? There is a multitude of chaos in our lives and often prayer is the furthest thing from our minds.
Too Busy Not to Pray targets the soul-deep issues related to prayer. Bill Hybels is a well-known speaker and author. First, and foremost, Hybels states that prayer=power and God can make a difference! We come up with a plethora of excuses like “God’s too busy,” “I’m too busy,” “He’ll think I’m selfish” and more.
Yet Hybels points out that the Bible is full of reasons to pray. Luke, Leviticus and Deuteronomy are packed with passages describing the power found in prayer and how to latch on to that and receive the blessings. God is interested in your prayers because He is interested in you.
