Hello, how are you?
It's so typical of me to talk about myself, I'm sorry
I hope that you're well
Did you ever make it out of that town where nothing ever happened?
It's no secret that the both of us
Are running out of time
So hello from the other side
Those are just part of the lyrics from Adele’s song Hello, but that might sum up some of our prayer life.
Disconnected. Confused. Struggling. If we are honest, that is. Yet that is not what God intends for us when we connect with Him. In fact the thing that He wants most is for us to connect.
It was in the Garden of Eden after He created Adam and Eve that God desired to have a relationship with those He loved. God still desires that. We have the blessing and opportunity to connect with, be loved by and walk with God. Think about it.
Jeremiah 33:3 NLT
Ask me and I will tell you remarkable secrets you do not know about things to come.
Matthew 6:6 NLT
But when you pray, go away by yourself, shut the door behind you, and pray to your Father in private. Then your Father, who sees everything, will reward you.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 NLT
Always be joyful. 17 Never stop praying. 18 Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.
That is just a few of the things that God says about praying. I challenge you to start the days like Jesus did. Get alone with God, our heavenly Father, and pray. It will make a difference.
