I wonder what would happen if

I was just thinking, tonight at the church I pastor we meet for prayer meeting, sadly this is our lowest attended service.  I think to what Jesus said in Matthew after tossing and turning over the tables in the temple.  “The Scriptures declare, ‘My Temple will be called a place of prayer,’ but you have turned it into a den of thieves!”(MT 21:13 NLT)  I wonder what we have made the church into today, can we really call it a place of prayer.  I remember the church I attended in my youth had a prayer room; it was a really nice one at that.  I think at one time people actually went and prayed in it during the church services.  I wonder if it even gets used anymore?  I have trouble believing it when people tell me they have trouble praying for over five minutes.  I know that I pastor a small church but we have a lot of prayer requests on Sundays, more than five minutes worth.  I wonder how many lives would be changed if we once again made the church a house of prayer, or if we would even begin to make our homes into homes of prayers?
