Lukewarm in Prayer

Lukewarmness is a disease which has symptoms. One of those symptoms is prayerlessness. We live in a day in which prayer meetings have largely disappeared from church life. When there is a prayer meeting, it is often dead and revolves around people's health problems. But long before the corporate prayer meeting at the church dies, the private prayer life of the church members has already died. We are in great need of a quickening work of the Spirit to revive our lukewarm prayer lives.
