Daniel 6:10 β βNow when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went homeβ¦ and knelt down on his knees three times that day, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as was his custom.β
Luke 5:16 β βBut Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.β
The words βDonβt let grass gag your graceβ remind us that nothing chokes a believerβs spiritual power faster than a neglected prayer life. When grass grows on the path to the prayer room, it isnβt nature speakingβit is neglect speaking. Daniel refused that neglect. Under pressure, under decree, under threat, he kept the prayer path clear. Grace flows freely where prayer is consistent, and stagnates where prayer is forgotten.
Prayerlessness is not just absenceβit creates spiritual silence. Even Jesus, full of power, refused to let His inner altar grow cold. He withdrew often, not because He lacked power, but because He understood where power truly comes from. The overgrown path is a warning that grace is being suffocated by noise, hurry, and spiritual laziness. But the moment you return, the weeds fall, the clarity rises, and the soul breathes again.
So take back the path. Step through the grass. Reopen the gate. Your grace grows where your knees bend. Donβt let the weeds of distraction gag the voice of prayer within you. Clear the way, and you will find that God never movedβonly you did. And the moment you return, grace returns in greater measure.
