Prayer

I've been so blessed that I get to teach young girls every Sunday
morning. To be able to pour God's Word into their lifes has been
amazing. All Glory goes to God! As I was thinking about what to teach,
I thought "temptations." It would follow my testimony from last week.
However when I was praying,God showed me "prayer." Prayer is really
imporant in my life. It's something I need a reminder on how we should
pray. Truth is alot of times my prayers can be short and sweet.(Psalms
145:18)God desires our prayers to be heart felt. Psalms 37:5"open up
before God keep nothing back." I had to stop and think about this one
because God already knows everything. I came up with this:just as a
child is holding their arms up,reaching for their parents. We are the
child in this case. When they is reaching their arms up ,the parents
feels needed. God is a jealous God. I think that as we lift our hands
and say "God I need you!!" God feels wanted by His child.
Phil.4:6-7 " pray about everything,worry about nothing. " Oh God!! We
are human. Lol but God knows that. I'm going to tape this verse up so
everyday when I see it, it reminds me to pray instead of worrying.
Because I do that. Alot. Don't we all!?
So.. I hear you saying okay sounds great. But.. When we pray doesn't
it have to be fancy!? Answer- No. Matthew 6:6-8 tells us there isn't a
formula we have to go by. Praying is just talking to your Father.
So we always pray in good times... What about bad times? In 1Thes.
5:16 it tells you to pray all times, even in bad times. Because there
is good times to come!
And for the ones who don't know Christ. If you want a personal
relationship with Him, it's really easy. I encourage you right now to
pray this prayer-Lord Jesus, I believe You are the Son of God and You
died for me. Please come into my heart an be my Lord and Savior. I ask
you to forgive me all of my sins and cleanse me with your precious
blood, take control of every area of my life from this moment on.
Jesus fill me with your Holy Spirit and empower me to be used for Your
glory. I want to serve you,love you, obey you all the days of my life
and make a difference in the lives of others. Father, thank you for
making me your child. In Jesus' Holy Name. Amen.
If you said this prayer for the first time, Welcome into the kingdom
of God!!! There are angels that are singing!! :)
