When Men of God Pray Through Their Struggles

Today's sermon was about men sinking. The scripture came from the 69th Psalm where David begins the song with a simple request of God. "Save me." At our church we are focusing on men this month. So as a result many of the sermons will be men-centered. Today's sermon really hit home. It was a sermon that really ministered to every man because every man could definitely relate to it. So often our men go through things and we tend to go through those things alone. No man is an island but that hasn't stop a man for trying to live like it. We do not like transparancy, we do not share because we detest being exposed. However, God really desires that we just be real. As I taught in Sunday School this morning, I could not help but think how prayer, the essential element of our walk is so necessary. Everyone goes through struggles. However, prayer helps us to understand and know that we are not alone and God will answer our prayers while we endure hardship as a good soldier. It is good to see men pray. Our children need to see us pray. It is better caught than taught as my pastor says from time to time. I thank God He desires to hear from me. Prayer is wonderful and good for all men who go through struggles in life.
