Prayer? Who needs Prayer? John 16:23

Good morning all!!! I hope and pray that your Labor day was a restful and enjoyable time. Sometimes it is nice to have the time off just to relax and be with family. When we are with family we need to remember to be thankful for them and pray. Pray? Who cares if we pray? Why pray? Do you really thing it does any good?Can we talk!!! CAN WE TALK!!!!?????
Weeeelllllll, yes, prayer does some good!! Pray is like our cell phones......only better. With a cell phone you can call from just about anywhere.....however, your call may be dropped and then you will be there saying...."Can you hear me now?" Prayer is like a cell phone except......it is a direct line to God and your call is NEVER DROPPED!!! What!?!?!?!? That's right,...you call is NEVER DROPPED. Psalm 66:19 "Certainly God has heard me; He has attended to the voice of my prayer."
How do we pray? It is just a conversation with God. Just as if you were visiting with a person face to face......except you are spirit to spirit. Yeah, but, I sin, God doesn't listen, and God usually does not hear me. Oh, no!!! Jesus died so your sin is clean. When you prayer you are clean and when you ask forgiveness God grants it.
God doesn't listen? And even if He does listen...He is not hearing what I am saying. Whoa big fella!!! (Long Ranger said to Silver) Yes, God does hear, God listens, but God grants us what we NEED, not what we want. Sometimes we don't believe God hears us because we are tooooo busy to just STOP, and be alone with God......and BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM!!!!
JOHN 16:23 "JESUS SAID, 'IN THAT DAY YOU WILL ASK MENOTHING. MOST ASSUREDLY, I SAY TO YOU, WHATEVER YOU ASK THE FATHER IN MY NAME HE WILL GIVE YOU.'"
Mother Teresa "The more you pray, the easier it becomes. The easier it becomes the more you will pray."
Saint Teresa of Avila "Mental prayer is nothing else...but being on terms of friendship with God, frequently conversing in secret with him."
Thank you for reading. Stop now and pray for everyone on the list, your friends, family, neighbors, share a prayer. Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
