I Kings 18:41-44
Solid Ground Part 2: Position of Prayer

The most important things are often over neglected the most. Spouses don't communicate because work is a priority. Children don't spend time with their parents because they're too busy. Friends don't hang out because of the demand in their current role. Relationships require communication. The same applies to our relationship with God. The way we communicate with him is through prayer. However, that's the last thing on our list of things to do each day, each week, each month. Attending church Sundays is not enough to have a strong relationship with God. We must position ourselves in prayer. After all, we can't talk about solid ground without a solid foundation. In the same way, we can't talk about a healthy relationship with God without prayer.
