Prayers…

Prayers are easy! Why do we try and make them so hard?

Prayers are simply communicating with Our Lord.

They don’t have to be fancy and long-winded, using only thee’s and thou’s, along with big fancy words in which you probably don’t know the meaning.

First off, relax, knowing God already knows your circumstances. He already knows the turmoil, confusion, dismay, temptations, disasters, and your sins.

Our Lord is our best friend! How do you visit with a friend…you talk! So talk, ‘Lord, I don’t know what to say, I am feeling, I am so mad, I am so sad, I am confused and don’t know what to do, I am tired of hurting, I am tired of being sick, I am tired of…it can go on and anywhere!

Once you’ve talked your heart out, screamed your heart out, or cried your heart out…then take a big breath, thank him for listening and then ask for guidance, direction, a plan, peace, health, strength; it’s your prayer and need so ask for it and his assistance in achieving.

THEN, towards the end, start thanking him for the good in your life, your family, health, eyesight, home, car, job, friends…even amid our pain or confusion, we can always find something to be thankful for, such as We don’t have bombs going off yards away from our homes and our air is fresh and breathable.

Again, prayers don’t have to be fancy or wordy!

Dear Lord, HELP ME…in your glorious name Lord Jesus, I pray. Amen

Dear Lord, I LOVE YOU AND TRUST YOU…in your glorious name Lord Jesus, I pray. Amen

Dear Lord, I am so tired…please give me the strength I need. In your name Lord Jesus I pray. Amen

Father God, I know I am a sinner, and I fall short. I believe you sent your son to save my sins and I ask for you to come into my life and heart. Be my Lord and Savior, help me grow within you as I know I will now spend eternity in heaven with you. In your name Lord Jesus, I pray. Amen

If you can take a few minutes of quiet alone time and truly let your heart out to God, you will come away so refreshed. Whether that prayer is a prayer of pain or a prayer of rejoicing. But, again, it doesn’t have to belong and be prim and proper!

Just pray what’s in your heart and on your mind.

And always remember to Thank and be Thankful…

Have a blessed day and as always, thank you for joining me. 🥰
