I’ve been thinking about prayer lately & the wide spectrum of what prayer means to us. In my mind, prayer has LOTS of applications. Prayer is about:
- being persistent
- exploring God’s promises
- confessing struggles, failures & shortcomings
- walking in and through Genuine Love
- expressing frustrations, uncertainties, misunderstandings
- being vulnerable & honest
- listening
- asking God to help others (intercession)
- being present with God (some call this “keeping company”)
- learning Who God is and about God’s will, preferences & priorities
- giving voice to our gratitude for what God does & Who God is
- presenting requests to God
- candid conversation
- a quick HELP!!!!
Let’s be careful to allow prayer to have a WIDE array of expression & relevance throughout our lives 🙂
Beautiful commentary especially about our communication process with our Creator. Just a viewer FYI on your program I think this would be a wonderful thing to share when asking if people need someone to pray with – and that you & the prayer staff becomes the “if any two people agree” you are the prayer(s) and the agreer(ers) along the way of lifes journey. 🙂
