I have been thinking a lot about prayer lately! People who are in so much pain or need ask for prayer and I immediately say I will pray and I do there and then and then when they come into my mind. I don't kneel for hours on end in intercession! I often talk to God in snatches usually when I am in the car when I think to turn the music or radio off! I often pray when I am running or when I am washing up!!
Lately I have been asking God questions like " Have I learnt my lesson?" and 'How do you view that person God' ( a person who I struggle to love) I should ask this question more often ' What should I do?' He doesn't answer in an audible voice but a strong impression comes into my mind.
I realise that often I just rant at God or not even talk to Him at all and I know I do not take enough time to listen to Him.
I am challenging my self to talk to God more often and then ask Him if He has anything to say to me! Not just coming to Him with a list of people or problems and make it a two way relationship!!
In recent months I have had some major prayer battles in which God is so close I could almost touch Him.
ReplyDeleteThese have always happened whilst I have been in Church - minor miracle in itself. They always involve Kailyn and I stated going into battle re her being protected - during all this stuff with her dad. At one point I physically saw her in front of me when she wasn't even there!! I'd start at her head and prayer my way down her. She let me as well! A first I kept hearing that the battle was one, I carried on until one day we were singing a song with the lyrics 'break every chain' This was a few days before the final court hearing. I've been lead to move on from there and now I am led to praying 'catch the fire'. When I am doing this - out loud( we have a very noisy church) I have sometimes look up and see people watching me. It feels like I am in another dimension - A lovely one.
So Prayer is a two way thing or sometimes move than when others are present.
In our daily lives we are easily distracted but we can pray any where
Keep going Hon xxx
