Six Consequences When We Don't Pray

The following is taken from a lecture by Dr. Joel Beeke, "Cultivating Private Prayer as a Pastor."  If we do not pray...

• We become ungrateful.  We do not give thanks to God for all the blessings we have received.
• We become self-righteous.  We do not confess our sins to God.
• We become self-centered.  We do not ask God to bless others.
• We become presumptuous.  We do not ask God for our daily bread.
• We become irreverent.  We do not praise God for who He is and what He has done.
• We become unfriendly toward God.  We do not demonstrate that we want to be with God.
