PRAYER

Feel guided by the Holy Spirit. During prayer I always thought that I had to sound really precise and intricate, but today I realize it should not be that way. Prayer is communication between us and God. A prayer can simply be a talking to God in your car or a simple thought, for it says in the Bible that when we do not know how to pray the Holy Spirit will intervene. Prayer is simply a way to connect with God, sure he hears us even when we don't pray, but prayer is a form of worshiping him for we are humbling ourselves down before him. Looking back on my life, all the times that I did not feel like praying were the times I needed to pray the most. I did not want to humble myself before Him because I thought I had everything under control. Control has got to be one of the most common reasons why we do not want to pray about something. It is always our own pride that gets in the way of our relationship with God. We think we have so much control over almost every situation. I hate to have to break the news, we have only as much control as a little insect. We have no control on what the day of tomorrow brings and unfortunately we can be stomped on at any time, without expectation. The only thing, that we as Christians, can rely on is Gods grace and plead for his guidance. Faith is the basis for every religion. Through faith the Lord can even perform miracles through you.
