Prayer to God is so important. None of us pray enough and often find it hard to talk to God about our problems or needs.
You need to talk to God, not just to ask Him for things, but to thank Him for all He has done for you. One of the problems with our prayers is that we tend to be only concerned with our needs. God already knows all your needs. There is no reason to remind Him of what you need or want.
I try to write at least one prayer a week to help me see how I am thinking. Am I only concerned with myself? Do I remember to give God my thanks and praise Him for what He has done and is doing?
Why write it?
It helps me to put it down on paper so I can see the words. Remember that your words have a power of their own. Words heal and words hurt., so be careful how you use them. Always ask God for guidance when you pray. You want to pray His Will be done.
We should note that Jesus, the Son of God, still found a need to pray. Mark 1:35 NIV says, 35 Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed.
I pray that you will be blessed by today’s prayer and that you will share it with others. However, take time to write down what is in your heart and pray always for God’s Will to be done.
The key to getting your prayers answered is to seek to pray for God’s Will to be done. God wants to answer your prayers, but He will not give you what you ask if it is not in tune with His Will. Part of praying is aligning your mind and heart with God. Doing this helps you to get your life in order to receive God’s blessings.
