Prayer is an indispensable key to spiritual life. Prayer is a love relationship with God. It means communication with God who created us. To grow in union with Him, we need to come daily into the presence of God through prayer & reflection. For many of us, it is an easy and joyous time that we always look forward to. Yet many of us are struggling through much human effort and energy.
Genesis 18:22-23
Get Closer to God
Our prayers reveal what we believe about God and what we value. Abraham's bargaining for the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah shows his faith, his care for others, and his closeness with God. Although he is humble, he deals with God as a friend whom he is not afraid to be honest with.
We too must be honest with God in our prayer. Too many Christians simply do not trust God enough to be completely themselves with God. They are afraid to share their doubts, anger, grief, and frustrations. But God is big enough to handle it all. Find a way in your prayer to share your innermost thoughts and feelings with God. Remember that God's healing touch cannot enter our life until we are willing to share our deepest feelings.
