prayer
posted on: 2008-06-02
I have really been thinking about prayer and how we use prayer in our lives today. I feel like we don’t sometimes see the big picture when it comes to prayer. For the longest time I thought that we only prayed: a) When we were about to eat; and b) When we needed something. I have long since realized that prayer is so much more than that, prayer is a way to communicate with God. Sure we can ask for anything when we pray, does that mean we need it or are going to receive it? No way, God works in his own time and thats something we have to learn. In essence though prayer is simple, just talk with God. Sure he knows everything that is going on but tell him what happened today, tell him what your struggling with, tell him you enjoyed talking. Just try it, talk with God without using any fancy wording or memorized prayers. Just talk to him, you will be amazed how much better prayer is when your using this awesome tool that God gave us, correctly. After all if we aren’t using God’s tools correctly they aren’t accomplishing what they need to. I don’t want this to sound like I know everything I am talking about, I am writing this here mostly to keep myself accountable and pray the way I need to, just talking with God.
