Do you know that when you pray all you’re doing is having a conversation with God? We can become easily intimidated or overwhelmed if we don’t understand how simple prayer is.

You don’t have to have a fancy prayer language or know every bible verse or have all the lingo that your local spiritual leader may have, all you need to do is go unto God and talk to Him like you would your best friend.

That’s essentially who He is, your best friend. I don’t know anyone other than God who, in-spite of our negligence to be disobedient time after time has the grace and mercy to forgive us.

Therefore, we should know that we can boldly go before God and he will hear our prayers.

When was the last time you had a talk with God?

Naturally with age, we have the tendency to want to prove that we can handle all of our problems. We tend to want to take on every burden that comes our way. But my friend the scripture tells us that God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.

That means that there is no problem or situation too big that God can’t handle. In fact, He’s looking for us to come to Him.

Make a decision to put aside all fear, put aside all doubt and go to Him confidently. Know that He has the solution for your needs.

As I got older, I realized that my parents didn’t have to assume as much responsibility for the things that they did when I was younger. This was due greatly in part to the fact that I was able to provide for myself. Granted, I’m still able to go to them and ask for things that I needed still but that opportunity was more scarce.

That’s the way God is, He’s doesn’t barge in. He allows us the freedom to go to Him at will when we have a need for something. Remember, God is a jealous God. He delights in the fact that we put none other than Him first.

You should place value on prayer and know that prayer changes things. I encourage you to have a little talk with God every chance you can get. I believe there’s a big misconception about prayer. You don’t have to be on your knees just to talk to God. You can talk to Him in traffic on your way to work in the morning — or at school before the big test.

Make a vow today to talk to God more throughout your day. Know today that God is indeed just a prayer away and notice a peace come over you as you charge forth on your journey of life!
