Prayer

Something that I have never heard referenced until recently is God’s phone number. Jeremiah 33:3 God says call to me, and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known. I think the coolest thing about prayer is the ability to be able to talk to the creator of the universe. Psalm 145:18 tells us the Lord is near to all who call on Him, to all who call on Him in truth. 1 John 5:14 tells us that we can have confidence knowing that when we ask for things within the will of God those prayers are answered. I think the hardest thing to ever comprehend is yes prayers are answered, but it might not be the answer I expected. Sometimes it’s yes, sometimes it’s no, and sometimes it’s not right now. When I was younger I thought if I prayed hard enough God would grant me the request I had, but He has a purpose for everything and He has a will and through the process we are in may hurt, God is with s every step of the way, Something that has helped my prayer life the most is the ACTS prayer. You start with adoration for God, confessions, thanksgiving, and the supplication. I think it has helped me a lot to focus on the greatness of God, and being thankful for the things He has already done in my life, I challenge everyone to try it because it does change your perspective. Sometimes I think we can be bad for asking for things and not treating prayer as not only our lifeline and war war strategy, but we should also treat it as a form of worship to the Lord. God is ready to hear from you and all you have to do is to seek the Lord with an open heart.
