Our prayers are a loving conversation with the Lord

Our prayers

Our prayers are a loving conversation with the Lord. When you pray you are never alone. Jesus is with you.

There are two sides to a conversation, so it is important to listen to what Jesus is saying.

Have periods of silence and give God a chance to speak to you. Don't worry about how well you pray. Your prayers are pleasing to God.

When you pray, God wants you to come as you are.

You don’t have to wait until you are less sinful or have enough faith.

Talk to Jesus at home or at work, in a car, on the street or anywhere else you might be.

Some people try once every few months.
Others pray out of desperation or a crisis in their lives.
Some try to pray but are not sure anyone is listening.

It doesn't matter... Jesus said that He answers every prayer.

A woman asked me, "I have tried to be a good person. Why is God so mean by not answering my prayers?" She was angry with God and had stopped praying.

Some people think God is not listening if He doesn't answer their prayers right away. And if He doesn't give them what they want, then they stop praying.

Be patient with God. It takes time for us to see how God is changing our life.

God did not say that He would always give us what we want. Trust the Lord and He will always answer your prayers in a way that is best for you.

Believe firmly that God will grant your request, unless it is against God's plans for your spiritual good.

Don't let anything stop you from coming to God in Quiet Time. Don’t keep your Father waiting.
