PRAYERS ARE MORE THAN WORDS...

It is optimal to PRAY, PRAY, and PRAY some more! PRAYERS can be done anytime, anywhere!

PRAYER is communicating with THE LORD in an unfeigned, open-hearted mindset, with TRUST in HIS WILL! While PRAYER should be mostly, intercessory, we most certainly should PRAY for ourselves, though again, let's be realistic, and not come to HIS HOLINESS with demands, or ludicrous expectations, and ALWAYS remember that HIS WILL SHALL be done!!!

THE LORD'S PRAYER is the model for PRAYING, as CHRIST JESUS teaches us, as it ALLOWS *GOD* to BE THE OMNIPOTENT, OMNIPRESENT, OMNISCIENT LORD HE IS! HE KNOWS what we need before we do, and so, we come to HIM, NOT with selfish inclination, but for the closeness, comfort, and security we need to make it through the days, the nights of this time HE has given us! We ask for HIS help, for HIS protection, for HIS provision, and whatever else, in TOTAL RELIANCE on HIM, then, we THANK HIM for hearing us, and considering our PRAYERS, and petitions, in the name of CHRIST JESUS. Then, we move forward, comforted by this sharing, and assured that HE IS working for the good of those who call upon HIM!!!

PRAYER is POWERFUL, it is MIGHTY, and it is HEALTHY for the being! Talking to THE LORD can be done at all times, and KEEPS the lines of communication flowing! Asking for HIS help is HEALING, and INSPIRING, AS LONG AS FAITH IS the ground on which we stand, and the breath in which we ask!!!

I begin most PRAYERS with OUR FATHER WHO ART IN HEAVEN, out of respect, and regard for HIS HIGH standing! I PRAY my long fervent PRAYERS, along with THE LORD'S PRAYER, twice a day, then throughout the day, it is more simplistic, but ongoing! PRAYER is an excellent way to understand humility, then to remain in that humility, because we KNOW that we cannot do without THE LORD, and we recognize HIS POWER to care for us, in whatever way(s)! I end my PRAYERS with THANK YOU FATHER for listening to my PRAYER/petition, and for YOUR WILL in this matter, in the name of CHRIST JESUS of Nazareth, BELIEVING that HE IS working, according TO HIS WILL, for my benefit! This allows us to be freed from what would bind us, if we didn't have HIM to turn to, and to RELY on!!!

Not only does PRAYER aid us in surviving, it aids us in countless ways, such as training the being to DEPEND on THE LORD for ALL, and EVERYTHING, being GRATEFUL for HIS PRESENCE, and assistance, and much more! It is vault of riches, and is empowered SUPERNATURALLY, with more than we can ever imagine!!!

All day long, I am speaking to HIM, I am sharing with HIM what HE already knows, but which makes me feel closer to HIM, and comforted! It may be a short sentence muttered under my breath, it may be more, but all day long, I am communicating with HIM, for the good of others, and for my own growth, and development! I THANK HIM throughout the day as well, for there IS SO much to thank HIM for!!!

Learning to PRAY is not perfectly defined for us, it is one of those areas of TRUSTING HIM to lead us, and let us remember HIS HOLY SPIRIT dwells within us to convey what we cannot perfectly say! PRAYING is more than words, it is as if the heart is surfing on the cleansing waters to HIS THRONE, in ONENESS with HIM, HIS LOVE, HIS WILL, and HIS WAY! It is also, a way to understand HIS WILL as HIS favour, and BLESSINGS touch our lives, even if they are different than we had wished for! We HOPE for HIS WILL to be done, wishes are lesser in the process of HIS care for us, though they are not negated, instead, aligned to HIS PURPOSE!!!

The WHOLE world needs PRAYERS, and our daily lives are enriched when we PRAY, so, let us PRAY, PRAY, PRAY, and PRAY some more, because *GOD* delights in hearing from us, sharing with us, and caring for us!!!
