I Don't Feel Like It Prayer

             Everyone has a prayer life. Everyone. Even atheists pray when everything in life hits the fan and their back is against the wall. But what fascinates me the most, is that the times we really should be praying, we hold back. What do I mean? When you are angry, frustrated, tired, and just plain fed up. Prayer is not just needed when everything is going well, but when you feel meaner than a rattlesnake too! David, best known as the King of Israel, and writer of a good portion of the Psalms understood this. He didn't just give God his "manly" dignified prayers or pretty emotions: he gave it all. He prayed when he felt unjustly treated, abused, stalked and hunted like an animal, when he was hot because bad people seemed to be getting all the goods and still doing evil. He didn't wait until he felt like lifting up a prayer. He even prayed when he was sick, depressed, and riddled with guilt for committing murder. You wanna have Outrageous Church? Develop the attitude of prayer. Don't let your situation drive you to your knees. Drive your situation to it's knees in prayer. I guarantee, if you pray to God in the name of Jesus, you won't have to wait until you get to church to have an Outrageous experience with God!
