Prayer

If you're anything like me, prayer isn't new to you. What IS new to me is this idea: Prayer is not specific words said at a prescribed time in a certain way. Prayer is a relationship with the Lord. It is continuous and can be as easy and automatic as breathing. It is where we start every morning and end every night. It happens when we are thankful and when we are full of fear; hurting, discouraged, happy or sad. Our God wants to hear from us when everything is going well or when we're overwhelmed. He will listen to our anger and loves to hear our praises. All He wants is to deepen the relationship we have with Him and when we pray, we are communicating with the One who is sovereign and in control. Whatever our circumstances are, good, bad, or ugly, God is still good. He doesn't change just because we do. He is constant, faithful, and all His promises are true. So try lifting every "thing" to the Lord today and give Him the burdens, thank Him for His blessings, and praise Him for who He is. Be blessed by the Lord and highly favored.
