Communicating with God

Did you know that communicating with God  is the most important thing in the life of a believer?

It is important that we constantly communicate with God and that He in turn speaks back. Our basic form of communication is prayer.  Prayer is how we build our relationship, it's how we give the matters of the heart over to Him, and how we enter into His presence. The relationship with God is much like the relationship of a husband and wife.  I' ve been married for almost fourteen years and by far what makes it successful is communication.

Prayer; constant communication between you and God, is the foundation to your spiritual life. It's intimate time with Him, a one on one experience that leaves you strengthened and encouraged to go a little further assured that He is right by your side.

There are many instances in the bible that shows just how important prayer is. King David was a praying man. He knew how to come before the Lord in prayer. David inquired of the Lord many times and God answered him. 

In the book of Daniel we see that Daniel diligently inquired of God and prayed to Him earnestly. God moved mightily during that time for Daniel and the three Hebrew boys, so much so that they found favor during their captivity in Babylon.

And finally we see that even Jesus, the Son of God, that though He was fully God and fully man still took the time to pray to the Father. Anything that we know Jesus did, we should be found doing the same.

It is so important that we pray.  The bible declares we should "pray without ceasing", so this means all of the time, about everything so that God can give us direction.

Prayer is not hard! You don't have to have big words or grand gestures. You just have to have an open and willing heart.  Sit quietly in a room, in your car, get on your knees, kneal down, or even lay prostrate on the floor. However you need to do it, just do it.

Begin to tell Him how greatful you are, How worthy He is, just begin to praise Him. The word says "enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise". That is a model for prayer and as you begin to open up the Holy Spirit will take over and usher you into worship before God. And the more you pray, God will mold your prayer life to His will and pleasure.  Don't get discouraged, just keep communicating, keep praying.

I want to pray with you now: 

Father God of heaven, in the name and precious blood of Jesus, I come before your throne to give you honor and glory and to bless your Holy Name. Lord I pray that whoever you have led here finds exactly what they are looking for and that it strengthens and encourages them to keep pressing on in your name. Let their heart be content with the place you have put them in and let them be renewed by Your glory. I ask these things in Jesus Name from now and forever more ~Amen.

Keep praying, start praying! It' never to late to get in line and get it right. Communicate with God, he's waiting for you.  He wants nothing more than relationship with us and prayer is the very foundation.

~ God bless you real good!
