The Lord is nigh unto all them
that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth. He will fulfill
the desire of them that fear him; he also will hear their cry, and will
save them.
Psalm 145:18-19
We so many times view our prayer time as a chore or obligation, instead
of something we anticipate and enjoy. We dedicate a certain amount of
time and try to plan out and sometimes, even write out all that we
desire to say to God, during the time we have allotted. Prayer is not
about the words we speak, but about the relationship with the One to
whom we are speaking; it is simply a conversation with God. He doesn't
expect us to try to impress Him with poetic words, but to speak to Him
sincerely from our heart. It is the sincere prayers birthed directly
from our heart, which are the most effective. Through Christ we also
have the ability to enjoy the company and presence of God and to make
ourselves available to listen, when He speaks to our hearts throughout
our day. We can count on Him, to be faithful and to always hear and
always answer, when we speak to Him. Our relationship with God grows
deeper and stronger, the more we communicate and converse with Him.
There is no such thing as too much prayer.
Prayer
Thank You Lord for allowing me the opportunity to step into Your
presence and to speak with You throughout my day. I know that You always
hear and always answer, the prayers from my heart. By faith I believe
and receive Your help, Your wisdom, and Your comfort. I come into Your
presence today, desiring to spend time with You; enjoying Your company,
and desiring to strengthen and deepen my relationship with You. All I
ever need or desire, I have found in You. Amen.
