Prayer is the key for miracles
There is an interesting incident that is reported from the land of Africa.
When the early Africans converted to Christianity, they were extremely earnest and regular, especially in their personal devotions.
Each one of them, would choose a separate spot in the midst of a thicket.
In that personal spot, the person would pour out one’s heart to God.
It was a moment of deepening one’s relationship with the Lord
As time passed by, these spots would become well-worn out.
The paths had been smoothed
As a result, if any of the converts failed to be regular in personal prayer, it was easily noticeable and clearly evident to the others!
Therefore, they would gently remind the one who was negligent, “Brother/Sister, the grass is growing on your path!!”
“The grass is growing on your path” – became a reminder for the one who was slipping down the path of devotion and prayer…
… to revive one’s spiritual fervor and zeal.
“Is there grass growing on our paths?”
… is a question that we need to constantly ask ourselves and execute the necessary steps in order to reinforce or to strengthen our personal prayer lives!
