prayer

we're often like spoiled kids on christmas morning who really don't care if dad shows up as long as he's stacked the gifts we asked for under the tree.

is that what your prayer life is like?

prayer is about getting more OF God, not more FROM God. we pray to get to know Him better. it's relational - speaking with God as we would with a spouse or friend for the purpose of building our relationship. how long would you have a friend if it was always about you.

i just want to know Him better, to sense His presence, enjoy His company and hear His voice. the more i know Him, the more i am content, the more joy i have. the only way to experience lasting joy and contentment is through an intimate relationship with Jesus.

if you don't have contentment and joy start talking to Him. He is the source of all good things and He wants to bless you with abundant life.
