OUR GOD DELIGHTS IN OUR PRAYERS

” THE LORD DESTESTS THE SACRIFICE OF THE WICKED BUT HE DELIGHTS IN THE PRAYERS OF THE UPRIGHT.” PROVERBS 15:8

It is so important that we take time from our busy days to go to our Lord in prayer. Prayer is so much more than just taking a list of our problems to him. It is communication with him. He truly loves us and wants to talk with us everyday. He wants to stay connected to us and be a vital part of our lives. Yes, it is important that we take our prayer requests to the Lord. But prayer is so much more than that. It includes praising him for all things, including his answers to our prayers, and taking the time to listen to him. He does talk to us. But many times, we don’t hear what he is saying because we are too busy and don’t take the time to listen. We are only interested in getting our prayers answered and then going on with our lives. It is wise that we set a time each day to go to our Lord in prayer, beginning with praise, present our requests to him, and then take the time to meditate upon his word. We should understand what he is saying and what is meant in each word that he says. We should involve him in every decision that we make, no matter how small or large that decision may be. A good solid prayer life will allow us to stay in contact with God and will allow us to put him first in our lives and actions. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
