Prayer


Hmmmm

Defined as: “the act of communicating with a deity”; “a fixed text used in praying”; “reverent petition to a deity”; “someone who prays to God”; “earnest or urgent request”

Deity is such the politically correct term these days…but for me it is God, the almighty, the biblical God of Abraham. Along with that comes the trinity: God the Father, God the Son & God the holy spirit…all three are one.

So back to the topic: PRAYER

Is every hope/wish we as humans think considered praying? Does prayer have to be formal? Do you pray for others to hear or is it part of your heart/soul pouring out a loud? And for me: Does God still answer prayers? Today: war, crime, evil things this world has on the 6 o’clock news?
How does He decided what is truly in our/individual best interest? What is His purpose?

PRAYER: to me, a simple light of hope that someone much greater than me, one who created me, understands my true heart/soul. Distinguishing between my wants and needs for my life here on this planet…asking is the easy part, listening for the response is patience.
