Drove home from a meeting last night and listened to the radio. The DJ was speaking with some caller sharing memories about her (the caller's) mother. She told some story about finding her mother's Bible after her mother passed away, and finding these prayer notes in the back of the Bible, and discovering what a prayer warrior her mother was when alive. The DJ responded, "So you knew she was a strong woman of God, but didn't realize what a prayer warrior she was."
Sorry to rain on your nostalgic sympathy parade here, but I have to correct you. Can you really consider someone to be a strong person of God who wasn't also a prayer warrior? That's like saying so-and-so was an outstanding baseball player, but he couldn't bat or field.
Prayer is an essential element of every strong believer, along with Bible reading and service and leading a life of virtue. Missing out on one cannot be overcome by doing well in the other three. You can have slips every now and then, but consistency across these elements defines the strength of a walk. Absent them, be satisfied with your nominal label of person of God, Luke.
