Living on the Gulf Coast, I know all about devastating storms. My family and I have evacuated from the path of a hurricanes and hunkered down in hallways to hide from tornadoes. When you have several days notice, it's easy to prepare for the worst. You have time to plan, pack and pray. But those sudden storms, like the tornadoes that whipped up this past weekend are the ones that hit us the hardest. The fact is, sometimes you pray before the storm; sometimes the opportunity to pray is only after. A fortunate few of us pray during the storm. I wish I could say that I always remembered to pray when the roaring of a tornado is passing over my family. Most of the time, I hold my children close and my faith in God closer.

Today, let's pray for those left behind in the wake of the sudden storms. Now is the time to pray for healing, for peace and supply. Let's pray for the children who've lost their homes, families and schools. Let's pray for the parents left to figure out to cope with such great loss. Let's pray for a storm shook country. The storms have passed, it is time to pray!

God may have all the time in the world, but He likes regular appointments. There's nothing our God loves more than meeting us at a regular time and place. When Adam walked with God, it was in the cool of the day, probably in the morning or at dusk. Enoch, the son of Jared, walked so faithfully, regularly with God that one day, Enoch simply stepped over into eternity! Noah, it is recorded was one to take walks with God. His regular meetings led to the salvation of his family. King David met with God, talking to Him, worshiping Him before his feet ever hit the floor.

Do you have a regular rendezvous with God? Rendezvous is a fancy word that means "meeting at a regular time and place." Is your prayer life hit or miss? Do you talk to God "on the fly?" Any prayer is good but if you can, establish a regular rendezvous with God and enjoy experiences reserved only for the faithful walkers.

God answers prayer but He performs wonders by appointment!
