Prayer: the act or practice of
praying to God. A supplication or expression addressed to God. An earnest
request or wish. A religious service consisting chiefly of prayer. One that
prays.
That right there is the dictionary
definition of prayer. So mainly all of these words can be summed up to talking
to God about your problems. It sounds fairly easy for the most part, right?
Well not really because if it was then more people would be doing it, including
myself. I would assume the most common of excuses is: "It's hard to pray
to someone you can't see or some who doesn't talk back to you
immediately." So the funny thing to me is that’s the perfect Person to be
talking to! When you go to your friends or family about your problems they can
misguide or mislead you or they can cripple you in a way by not telling you the
truth. We all look for comfort more than instruction and correction and that’s
fine. But why not get both so both needs are met? Prayer is so overlooked. If
we as people of God and a nation founded on Godly principles would just pray
for Gods guidance and wisdom in our lives we would probably be in better
situations. Our lack of faith in God is so low though so we can’t even imagine
how great prayer can be if one would use it. So I challenge you to take time
out of your busy day or you’re not so busy day and give God the attention He
deserves. Prayer works miracles and maybe one we all can witness one if we
would but pray.
Philippians 4:6: "Be careful for nothing; but in everything by
prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto
God."
