There is nothing magical about prayer.
It is a communication between our Heavenly Father and us.
He talks and we listen. We talk, he listens.
Scripture tells us that God knows our thoughts, he knows our wants and needs.
- Here is a suggestion to gain perspective:
- on your relationship to Him,
- appreciation of yourself and the life you have been given,
- as well as those who are in your life at this time
- and those that will enter your life at some point and time for what ever purpose and for what ever amount of time.
Commit to pray daily for the following things for 6 months:
Acknowledge that your are a gift from God and thank him for that gift.
(In my case I know God has a sense of humor but -I don’t always feel much like a gift to me or anyone else. Your Heavenly Father created you and I in his own image and he called all creation good.)
Thank Your Heavenly Father for the gift of life.
(You may not always know why, what the purpose is for your life and that’s ok. God knows why he created you, he makes NO mistakes. Keep seeking his face and his will – he will guide and direct you.)
Thank Your Heavenly Father for the gift of emotions.
(Whether you are feeling joy, anger, hurt, disappointment or discouragement…you are feeling, you have the ability to feel.)
Thank Your Heavenly Father for relationships.
(When we come together we gain a greater perspective of ourselves and of others. It’s so easy to become self-centered; narrow minded when we refuse to look beyond ourselves. When we least expect it He brings those into our lives for a time, a season to be blessed by us and to bless us.)
Thank Your Heavenly Father for your mate.
If you have a mate, it is easy to forget that they too are a gift.
Maybe you don’t have a mate, thank Him for your singleness and seek His direction.
Maybe in your singleness you would choose to be married.
Pray for the mate your Heavenly Father has for you.
Thank him for this person.
Pray that this person would know Christ as Lord and Savior.
