Prayer

• One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he was finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.” ~Luke 11:1

Prayer doesn’t come easily to some people. Like Luke 11:1 says even the disciples asked Jesus how to pray better. And in psalms there are many cries from David for God to hear him. (Psalms 143)

Prayer is something your learn how to do- - just like everything else in life. I am not a master at prayer but I try. Prayer is all about the faith- - believing God hears you even when it doesn’t seem like it. He promises to listen to everything we say, so we all have to trust in that. Our God is near us when we pray. How awesome is that?! He doesn’t just hear us, he is right there with us… wherever you go… shopping, etc. When you find yourself faced with a hard decision or feel hurt and alone- - God is there when you pray.

• See, I have taught you decrees and laws as the Lord my God commanded me, so that you may follow them in the land you are entering to take possession of it. Observe them carefully, for this will show your wisdom and understanding to the nations, who will hear about all these decrees and say, “Surely this great nation is wise and understanding people.” What other nation is so great as to have their gods near them the way the Lord our God is near us whenever we pray to him? ~Deuteronomy 4:5-7

Our God is amazing! All you have to do is have faith, trust, and believe that he is there with you always, even when you pray, even through your struggles, through everything! Our God is an awesome God!
