The Word:
OPEN EARS
2nd Chronicles 6:39
Then You hear from the heavens, even from Your dwelling place, their prayer and their supplications,
and maintain their cause, and forgive Your people which have sinned against You.
More often then not -Prayer is the subject of many of theses devotionals and with good reason - prayer is essential in the life of a Christ-follower - how can we know God without talking to Him daily? How can we know anything about Him without reading His Mighty Word? Prayer is simply our conversation with God - it should be a dialog - not a monolog - it should be both presenting our requests to God, and offering Him praise - in this we must be willing to come apart and listen - we are usually convinced we have to do something - that we must continue to talk or else the prayer ends - what God wants I believe is for prayer to be our lifestyle - many times we get far too formal and miss the point - often - well every morning I can - I pray on my way into work - the subject matters differs a little each time - but the main thing stays the same - I try and remember to Praise God before just coming before Him with supplications - He does care for what we have need of - God is closer then we think - He is just a prayer away. HE does listen but we need to understand that often His answers are not really what we thought we where looking for - we never know what today's prayer will do! God is always there and the line of communication is always open - often times we fail God or fall into some type of sin and think we can no longer come before God and prayer - at these times we need God the most -its when we need to be sure to keep our side of communication with God open!
The Final Word:
Prayer is never a one way street - its equal parts Praise - Request and Worship! Have you prayed lately?
CHRIST always got away from everything to pray!
