NOTE: This brief post is introductory. I will write a lengthier article on the subject of priorities and the life of the Christian.
PRIORITY: Attending Coporate Prayer Meetings
A staple of the Christian church for many decades was the corporate prayer meeting. Sadly, due to the distractions of the Evil One, many churches have either dispensed with them or are woefully attended.

14 Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. 16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working. 17 Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed fervently that it might not rain, and for three years and six months it did not rain on the earth. 18 Then he prayed again, and heaven gave rain, and the earth bore its fruit.
(James 5:14-18, ESV)

13 Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing praise.
(James 5:13, ESV)
Why, O Lord, do you stand far away?
Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?(Psalm 10:1, ESV)
3 And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments. 4 Whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him, 5 but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may know that we are in him: 6 whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked. (1 John 2:3-6, ESV)
Read MoreO Lord, how many are my foes!
Many are rising against me;
2 many are saying of my soul,
“There is no salvation for him in God.”
Why do the nations rage
and the peoples plot in vain?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves,
and the rulers take counsel together,
against the Lord and against his Anointed, saying,
3 “Let us burst their bonds apart
and cast away their cords from us.”
but his delight is in the law of the Lord,
and on his law he meditates day and night.
(Psalm 15:2, ESV)
I will bless the Lord at all times;
his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2 My soul makes its boast in the Lord;
let the humble hear and be glad.
Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness!
You have given me relief when I was in distress.
Be gracious to me and hear my prayer!
