                                  BUZZARDS
     Genesis  15:11 And when the fowls came down upon the  carcases, Abram
drove them away. 
     Have  you ever started to pray, only to have  your  mind wander  to
 other things-- anything other than what  you  were praying about?  Sure you
have!  I'm no different than you.
     Abraham was faced with a similar situation.  The  buzzards kept  trying
 to *steal his sacrifice* off his altar.   He  kept driving them away.
     When our thoughts begin to wander while we are trying  to pray, we have
to *rope 'em in*, as the cowboys say.
     Sometimes it seems so futile, for there are so many things that  want
our attention.  But persistence does pay off--  the Lord  helps us when we
try diligently to ward off the  intruding thoughts.
     It  probably is true that when the * buzzards *  are  the thickest, it
is when the *need * to pray is the greatest.
     The  Lord may be depending on you to fight off the *  buzzards * and
pray the matter before you through to victory.
     Don't  let  them devour your sacrifice.   The  answer  will come, if you
are persistent.
             God Bless!
