Two things I have learned about prayer that have changed my life:
1. Learning how to pray
My relationship with God is not a one way deal, where I get to summon Him for recent repairs and new desires. I should approach God with adoration and respect, with love and thanksgiving.
2. Learning what to pray for:
Prayer is conversation with God followed by a time for me to listen. I am supposed ask for guidance, and take time to listen. Sometimes, I make requests for the things I think I need in my life, but nowadays I try to ask God to show me what I need in my life. I say other things too but I know God has the answers lol
Ultimately, God just wants to hear from me and I know this. But just like any relationship, the quality of my conversation usually dictates the closeness of my relationship as well.
These are my beliefs. They don’t have to be yours, but it has changed the direction and the quality of my life in a big way.
Have a great day!
