A talk with God

Prayer: noun  /prer/ an address (as a petition) to God or a god in word or thought

Each night when it is bedtime, the 3 littles and I all pile on my bed, talk about our "hi-low" parts of our day, and then we each take a turn and pray. Each one of them, including myself, pray the exact same thing every single night. When it comes to my prayer with them, I will pray for specific things for each of them, but for the most part, I pray the same things each night.  

                                                 

                                                     I struggle with this on a daily basis.

                                                              I am going to be real.  

I don't know how to pray.  Is there a correct way to pray? To be honest, I am not quite sure. You and I may have a conversation with one another and you could share your struggles with me, ask me to pray for you and I'd say that I'd be more than happy and willing too. However, beyond that point, I become at a loss for words. How do I pray for my friend?  I have no clue; and that makes me sad.

I then bring myself back to the realization of that, well, our thoughts to the Lord are our prayers, my prayers. He knows them before I speak them silently from my mouth.  He knows our every thought before they are even thought (if that doesn't just blow you away, because I sure do think A LOT!) 

As I drove into downtown this morning, I was reminded from a song, "when you don't know what to say, and the words won't come, just say Jesus."

                                                                     JESUS  

What an awesome reminder that we, I, don't need a proper prayer, there is no right or a wrong way to pray We can speak his sweet name, and HE knows our hearts.

I pray you will be blessed and encouraged today.

Blessings!

In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.  Romans 8:26
