Lord, First Thessalonians 5:17 tells us how we can live joyfully in all circumstances, whether good or bad. How? By “making our life a prayer.” Misguided religious folks have made this mandate of a prayerful life way too complicated.
“You can’t go wrong using flash card prayers,” some advise. “That’s what they’re for.” Others suggest to “Find prayers on the Internet that religious leaders have written. Surely, they know how to get God’s attention.” The super spiritual claim God always answers prayers spoken in King James English, like Your disciples did.
Lord, is this what prayer is all about? Is that what You want? Hardly.
“Talk to me.” You say. “I won’t tune you out.” You delight in our ongoing conversations throughout the day. As You were with Your disciples, so You are with us. This broken world never runs out of challenges to test our patience and our faith daily. Most times it’s smooth sailing, but occasionally, a raging storm arises out of nowhere that threatens to sink us. Keeping our ongoing conversation with You energizes Your peace to calm our soul. Your presence makes giving thanks, praise and worship such a joy in all circumstances.
Lord, I don’t want to make prayer complicated, I just wanna talk to You. I’m thankful I get to hang out with You all day, Love You Jesus. Amen.
THANKFUL
