Sometimes I wonder if others struggle with prayer as I do. I wonder am I praying enough, which the bible says pray without ceasing, so I know I don't pray enough. It is hard to pray without ceasing, but I do try to keep my conversation with God going throughout the day. When I think of someone, a problem, a request to pray for something, I just lift up that person or situation to God at that momenet.
Sometime I wonder...God do you really hear all these little conversation, am I praying with enough emotion, do you really know how badly I want you to do something here, and on and on. What I was reminded of today was that we have the Holy Spirit in our corner when it comes to prayer.
Romans 8:26-27 "The Spirit helps us with our weakness. We do not know how we should pray as we should. But the Spirit himself speaks to God for us, even begs God for us with deep feelings that words cannot explain. God can see what is in people's hearts. And he knows what is in the mind of the Spirit, because the Spririt speaks to God for his people in the way God wants."
When I read this today there was peace inside of me letting me know, God hears each prayer and word spoken to him. He knows how badly we want something, he is our Father. Just like we know how badly our kids want or need something God is the same. It seems so plain and simple to me now, I wonder how do I even struggle with these thoughts. I just think it is God's way of reminding me that He is still there.
One of my favorite songs is Convinced by Nicole C Mullins. I love the message of this song and the verse that goes with it. It is a great reminder to me that God is always there and nothing can seperate us from him, even when I have those days where I feel like there is a whole world between us.
Romans 8:28-39 "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height or depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to seperate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
I have tried to upload this song from my IPod, but I can not figure out a way to do that. I found the song on yahoo...so if you want to listen just click on the link and it should take you to the site to be able to play it.
