A FEW WORDS ABOUT PRAYER: July 5, 2022
PRAYER IS TWO-FOLD
1. Speaking Our Words 2. Listening for God’s Words (same as) An Awareness of God’s Intent to Communicate with Us
The Bible tells us in Hosea 6: 3 that “He will come to us as the showers, as the spring rains that water the earth.”
The more we become at ease with the act of praying, simply bowing our heads and hearts before Him, the more like Him we become. The reason? His Holy Spirit reaches out to our heart’s yearning for Him. It is in communion with our God that He surrounds us with His holy presence, His Holy Spirit.
What a hope He gives! What a promise is ours!
He offers to share His holiness with us!
The moment we kneel in His presence, the moment we close our eyes to worship Him, He comes closer to us. He promises to be with us, always.... And when we move toward His presence in prayer, with hearts opened and eyes closed, He hears us.
He welcomes us into His presence, into His holiness, into His peace -from our cares.
TODAY’S PRAYER:
Thank you Father for your love, your promise. Thank you that we may hope in you, that your sweet presence is ours for the reaching toward you. Thank you that your presence is our dwelling place, your provision for those of us who seek to know who you are and to know who we are in you.
