The world is full of pre’s:  pre-season, pre-game, pre-release, presume,  prepared.  All of these imply a “before-hand” sense.   The Boy Scouts have a motto, “Always be prepared.” And the implication is to have what you need to be ready for anything.

In like manner, Christians are to have this attitude as well.   But we take being prepared one step further. Thus the Christian’s motto could be “Always be pre-prayered.”  Psalm 37:5 says “commit your way to the Lord, trust in Him and He will act.”  Committing means putting it in God’s hands.   Commit your way, ahead of time.

Nehemiah did this.  When he found out that the walls of Jerusalem were destroyed, he spent time in prayer, asking the Lord to give him favor with the king.   Then as cupbearer, he went before the king.   The king asked about his sad face and the verse says, “......so I prayed to the God of heaven.”   Nehemiah prayed BEFORE he spoke.  Oh, my dear friends, if only we would pray every time before we speak. 

Daniel was pre-prayered as well.  When he was asked to interpret the king’s dreams, Daniel went to his friends and asked them to pray about the matter also.  (Daniel 2:18) And God answered and gave him a vision in the night.
Before going to work, be pre-prayered; before meeting with a friend be pre-prayered, before anything be pre-prayered.

ALWAYS be Pre-Prayered!!!
