We say things like, I will pray as led, or I will give as led…etc…you are correct.
But if you are a serious believer, you do these things as led and decided.
If you only pray as led as you claim, you will not have a prayer life…such that you will not even be able to recognize that leading to pray.
Haven’t you noticed that you haven’t been praying because there is no structure for your prayer life?
What you are actually calling ‘leading to pray’ in this your prayerlessness, is actually ‘a feeling to pray’…that is why when you go to a meeting, you pray but when you are alone, you don’t pray.
You decide! I am going to pray 30 minutes per day and you work towards it and then you respond to the nudging of the Holy Spirit when he leads you to pray.
It is only people that have a structure that easily flows well in dynamism. There are things that are laziness that many of us call ‘being led’ or ‘creativity’…it takes grit to get things done.
So whatever you want to do, set up a structure of accountability for it and receive grace to stick with it. Even if you break your commitment, don’t abandon it, start again and again.
How is it possible for some of us to read over 20 chapters of the Bible per day? We set up a structure for it! There is no magic there!
Even as the coordinator, I am accountable to the group, I know that we will give records of those that have read at the end of the 90 days! So inspite of my busyness, I am reading!! With heavy sleepy eyes, I am reading!!
So we live as led and as decided.
Give as led and decided!
Pray as led and decided!
Witness as led and decided!
etc…
Receive grace!
