With all the focus on prayer lately and with the lock-in/prayer vigil tonight, I have really been taking a close look at my prayer life. Honestly, I'm not satisfied with it. Maybe I'm the type who is never satisfied with anything, but when it comes to God, I hope I can never get enough. The truth is, what's lacking in my prayer life is me.
I pray alot. Seriously, all day every day I am constantly in communication with God in some form. That's good, right? Just pray and everything will be fine. That's kinda how we're taught to think isn't it? As long as we check in with God on a regular basis and let Him know we're thinking about Him from time to time, then He's happy with us and blessing us and it's a win - win for everybody.
The act of prayer is important, it's commanded and God longs for that communication with us. But words are just words.
As in water face reflects face, so the heart of man reflects the man. --Proverbs 27:19
David prayed, "Search me, O God, and know my heart." Jesus told the Pharisees, "God knows your hearts." And in Jeremiah, we are told to seek God with all our heart.
The point is this: Tonight, when we are all on our knees before God, listening for Him, searching for Him, and seeking Him, let's do it with a true heart. God isn't looking for the best speaker, the best intercessor, the best meditator, or even the best praiser. All He wants is a humble, open heart that will listen to what He has to say and then act on it.
So let's forget about us for a while and get ourselves in line with God and what He wants to do. He's got us all together for a reason. I can't wait to see how He touches and changes hearts tonight.
Happy Friday. See ya tonight!!!
