Face Washing and Prayer

   

Have you ever thought about how washing your face and prayer are synonymous?   Neither had I until this morning when the Lord dropped this realization in on me!

When we wash our face, what are we doing?  The process of washing is removing the dead skin cells and dirt.  It is getting rid of the old, for the new to shine.

>>>> Just like prayer.  As Believers, when we pray and ask the Lord for forgiveness, He forgives; washing away the dead skin cells and dirt of daily disobedience.  Daily prayer and asking for forgiveness keeps the communication open between ourselves and our heavenly Father.  We're not asking for forgiveness unto salvation; that was a one and done -- once saved always saved.  Daily asking for forgiveness is so that we can stay in communication with heaven, draw closer to God, become more sensitive to the working of the Holy Spirit, etc.  If we carry on with unwashed dirt, it hampers our shine and dulls the voice of our Lord.  And, don't we all want to hear from the Throne of Heaven?!

Wash your face and hear from Heaven! :)
