Have you ever found it hard to pray or even try to form the words you want to speak? Do you feel like God isn’t even listening to your prayers because nothing is changing in your life? I think we have all felt this way at times. We try to pray the same way others do and all that is just copycat praying that only comes from our mouth and not our heart. Many prayers are said through emotions of the flesh, but again, not from the heart.
God knows the condition of our hearts and the intents of our prayers before we even pray as God knows what is best for us and already knows what we need. Did you know as a Christian you have no need to pray for yourself? God has already promised us that he will supply all our need and if we truly believe in his promises then we should never want for anything.
Needs and wants are two different things as our need is for food, clothing and shelter as anything above this is want or desires of our heart. There is nothing wrong with wanting nice things, but God is not going to hand our desires over to us on a silver platter, but God will make a way where there seems to be no way for you to have your hearts desire. It is called hard work and determination as God will open the doors of opportunity to use, but it is up to us to walk through those doors. Prayers are our petitions we place before Jesus as He is our mediator before the Father.
Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
Hebrews 7:25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
1Timothy 2:5 for there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
Matthew 6:5 and when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, they have their reward.
Matthew 6:6 but thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
Matthew 6:7 but when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
Matthew 6:8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
