Pray is necessary for our lives to be connected with God, however I agree with Charles Spurgeon, that necessity and prayer do not really go together. If prayer is a necessity for you, maybe some reevaluation needs to happen.
In an excerpt from Charles Spurgeon’s Lectures To My Students he speaks about prayer, and our “absolute necessity for prayer.” But then he goes on to say that prayer should not be a necessity, but we should savor our life in and time in prayer. He talks about the “deliciousness of prayer.” I got excited when I read that. He goes on to with “the wondrous sweetness and divine felicity which come to the soul that lives in the atmosphere of prayer.” It’s like imagining your favorite desert and getting it when ever you want it. Your soul filled with a sweetness that is so permeating your being you just ooze sweetness and joy!
Take prayer as a constant idea that allows your soul and body and mind to constantly be in contact with your creator and see how that sweetness and joy will permeate your life. Do not think of prayer as necessity, but as an opportunity to stay in touch with an old dear friend, and use prayer to spread joy and mercy to everyone you meet.
