God, in his infinite wisdom, has called each and every one of us into a relationship with Himself. And, like all relationships, they require communication. Prayer is communication between God, you and me. All through His Word we're taught both: the importance, and the role of prayer.
We can take comfort in the fact that God wants to be in a relationship with us. It's true! What's more, He knows what we need, and what He can give. That's why we experience life-transforming, life-renewing intimacy with the Creator of the universe through prayer.
And it is through prayer where we constantly learn more and more about His character; and how His perfect will is working itself out in our own lives. We find that deepening our understanding of God also deepens our faith, and our desire to worship.
It's through prayer, that God's work is fulfilled on earth. For example, the apostle Paul always asked for prayer in his missionary undertakings, and saw prayer as crucial to his success.
As you and I become increasingly aware of our shortcomings, we can find comfort in the knowledge that our God is all-knowing. Moreover, taking advantage of God’s direction/guidance is a blessing of prayer.
Scripture: 2 Timothy 2:15; Ephesians 3:14; John 14:13; Hebrews 4:16; Psalm 55:17
Prayer: Dear Lord, our time on earth is short. Please help me realize that it's not the amount of time, but the quality of the time I spend that counts. Amen
God bless you!
